As one source puts it, "It's hard to maintain a relationship when one person is upset all the time."

Despite the split, we're told the two are serious about remaining friends -- and have nothing but respect for each other.

We pressed a little more ... asking if Mark was the mystery man -- Kate hedged, responding, "I don't know!"
As for the real truth -- Kate tells us, "It's whatever you think!"
So here's what we think -- if Mark had any game, he would have AT LEAST made the playoffs.
