The end of Bill and Melinda Gates' marriage

So it is now being widely reported that it is garden variety husband trying to pick up women that ended this marriage. Sad.

Seems to me (only what I have seen) that this has been an ongoing thing in their lives.

I am not surprised.

Wrong is still wrong just because you benefited from it.

Not surprising if true. He's human just like everyone else.

@Hoovermom I read the same. At least since 2000, which I think was early in their marriage. Based on what I have heard from married men at work, I think this is very common behavior. Sad.

This came as such a shock to most people, I don't think the public had any inkling that Bill was such a philanderer. Apparently (according to a CNN article yesterday) he started an affair with a woman engineer at Microsoft in 2000.

Of course we haven't heard what, if anything, Melinda was up to.

I hate this for their kids. Although they're young adults, nobody wants to hear such things about their parents. It would have broken my heart if they'd been MY parents.

@deeva Since when is everyone suppose to behave like an animal?

I would like to think that there are spouses that don't behave this way, but maybe it is just wishful thinking.
