The woman whom he was married to, when he became national, and they moved to NYC, had a REALLY good reason to divorce him and I bet you don't know what that was; but I do.
Instead of going to the great restaurants, museums, theatre ( and yes, Broadway was still producing great shows back then ! ), and even just the extremely fascinating historical sites that that city has, Rush refused to do ANYTHING at all! He just sat there, in their apartment, glued to his computer, ignoring her. Oh sure, the better he did, the more famous he became, and the more money he made, he moved up ( got angry at the decorator they had engaged, because he hadn't gotten a handle on things NYC back then ) but that marriage wasn't a marriage at all.
Yes, over the years, people do change...they're supposed to grow closer; not farther apart, over the years!
And as far as Rush is concerned, his wives have seen the WORST of "male nature" !
And yes, you should be able to "judge" how that relationship will be through the years, unless something horrible happens that changes one or both parties.
Sadly, many people marry for the wrong reason/s, do NOT truly know the person they do marry, and/or don't take marriage seriously anymore and believe that it's something out of a movie/fairy tale/book, that doesn't take any kind of work.
I like Rush and listen to him almost every day but he went nuts today with his talk about female sex robots - the kind guys on FR want and can’t afford.
I know all about the time he spent in NYC - hating it, etc. I was amazed at how terrible he decorated his NYC apartment! I never heard cheating rumors! His second marriage he chalks up to going deaf and the alienation that brings. And his third? I guess it is OK - never heard cheating rumors there either.
I guess he’s a workaholic which can damage a marriage. But 3 times?
Who says that money needs to be spent on a night out, which only lasts that night, when in a relationship / marriage?
You’re saying a wife is justified to divorce a man who is a homebody, especially when he has the means and location to do things?
