Resignation
On July 7, 2010, Littorin announced his immediate resignation. He had the day before been confronted by a reporter for Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet whether it was true or not that he had purchased sex. Littorin denied the allegations but nevertheless resigned from the government. The official reason that he stated was the harshness of the media against him and his children, as well as "for private reasons", following divorce and a custody battle over his children.
Since 2013 he is married to Therése Evling.

Famous quotes containing the word resignation:
“Resignation, not mystic, not detached, but resignation open- eyed, conscious, and informed by love, is the only one of our feelings for which it is impossible to become a sham.”
—Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)
“How could a man be satisfied with a decision between such alternatives and under such circumstances? No more than he can be satisfied with his hat, which he’s chosen from among such shapes as the resources of the age offer him, wearing it at best with a resignation which is chiefly supported by comparison.”
—George Eliot [Mary Ann (or Marian)
