OMG the replies in this thread. Thanks for the morning laughs.

Bill Gates divorcing was kind of surprising to me, but it happens. Some of the claims in here seem like nothing more than celeb gossip.

Personally, nope, Just. Can't Do It.

I do recall last fall that they, or one of them bought a home in CA for like $11M?

@Snowpuppy

Not sure this has anything to do with "values". Not all couples require fidelity, and how could any of us know what they agreed upon when deciding to marry?

Personally, I've known couples whose marriages suffered greatly because they worked together .... too much together time, and it can slowly be reduced to a brother and sister-type relationship. I've seen it happen ... twice.

If Melinda had agreed that he could spend time with his old girlfriend periodically, then that is too odd for me. I understand the whole family is upset with Bill and has been for a long time. They are all siding with Melinda. It’s a shame everyone feels the need to choose sides when there is a divorce.

I can't imagine a woman going to bed with him! But maybe, women are not his thing and that is the reason for his divorce. He just gives me the creeps.

Ummmm puhleeze... according to Billy Crystal in When Harry Met Sally....no men cannot be friends with a woman he finds ...attractive...he'll always want to !7%4?4# with her

@CatsyCline @suzyQ3

Mimosa ... Let me get this straight ..... you are quoting a funny, ficticious line in an old movie as somehow "proof" that men and women cannot ever be friends? Seriously?

Sorry, but that's just ridiculous.
