She should be there supporting him on the road
You are entitled to your opinion.
Where I come from and from my time, people believe in vows which are promises made by a couple during their wedding ceremony, symbolizing their commitment to each other.
I recognize that in a modern marriage it's all about "Happy wife, happy life". I think it's one-sided. And Tom Brady's marriage was a perfect example of that.
Women no longer have to stay married to dysfunctional men because they have economic options their grandmothers didn’t.
That's not the topic of this thread. Especially not Tom Brady who had his "****" together lol.
I know people with not much going for them who struggled at times but were devoted to each other in marriage and raised great kids. But two highly successful, ambitious, wealthy, famous, and — most of all — self-centered people could not figure out how to make marriage and children work. Are we supposed to be surprised?
And when I left this town, it was for her and me,
Now I’m home, all alone with a paper that says I’m free
Guess I’ll do what I do best
The hell with her, the hell with him, the hell with all the rest.
One man’s loss is another man’s gain
One man’s pleasure is another man’s pain.
“”””Many women just cannot be satisfied.”””””””
Bitches be crazy.
Three don’t forget about the truth
“After their split was announced, Bundchen repeatedly alluded to her unhappiness at how much Brady focused on his sporting career at the cost of his family, with his unretirement said to be the tipping point.”
Interesting that so many golfers, gone half or more every week, have no problem keeping things together with a dedicated wife. Scottie Scheffler, Dustin Johnson, Jack and Barbara and many other football players and coaches....👀
A man who blew up his marriage over broken promises does not have his **** together.
My husband used to drive race cars as hobby. Then he had one very serious incident that bruised one entire side of his body black. He’d have been dead in a non race car.
I could handle the time commitment of being a race widow, but not a real widow. He’s done or we’re done.
I’m a golf widow now :) and I am happier because I feel safer.
Women need safety and when men keep doing (unnecessary) unsafe things, it kills us a little bit inside every time. There is a threshold where women would rather grieve the marriage than grieve the man. It makes no rational sense and I know this, but it’s also a real true thing.

Tom Brady played football when Gisele Bundchen married him. If she wasn't cool with that, she should have never married him in the first place.
Plenty of actors in Hollywood for her to marry instead.
It’s a cumulative threshold, you don’t always know it’s there until you start to feel it with time and repeated injuries.
She’s talked about repetitive concussion injury.
My husband raced while I was home with 4 small children and it didn’t bother me a lick. Now we’re 60+ and last year after that crash, I was done. I had made a few noises before about the time and money, but this time I was done, the danger threshold had been reached. It surprised both of us, actually.
But I’d rather leave him than bury him early because he’s chasing adrenaline and tire smoke.
Football is a dangerous sport and she knew that was the sport (and career) for Tom Brady.
Even before we started to learn about CTE, we've known that it's risky to play football.
Obviously, she shouldn't have married him if she was uncomfortable with the risks he was taking.
At some point though there’s a line. How much risk do you really want your loved one to go through. Jackie Stewart has talked about the day he and his wife sat down to count funerals, how many of his fellow racers had died. And they both got scared and he didn’t finish his next before he decided the risk was too high.
Half the games were at Foxborough so he could come home at night. And even with travel for away games he was still so much better off than hundreds of thousands of Americans who did long and dangerous tours in Iraq and Afghanistan.
NFL teams only play 8-9 road games a year, and travel in the Saturday before a Sunday game. So they're only away from home about 16-18 days during the season. Maybe 20-35 with playoffs. Most teams have training camp at home as well these days.
Well, Bridget and he seem to get along, so I’d say fair to middling at worst.
And I wonder how Jack feels about having a mother who was so casual about her son’s having a family. Sleeping around is not a good plan for family structure.
I’m taking time to post on a situation that I don’t care about. 😎
Thanks for chiming in with the female perspective.
Like we didn’t know what it was before you even posted it.

I'm not so sure about that.
I have personally seen a couple of marriages break up due to infidelity. In both cases, it was the woman who cheated.
One was a real shock: she came from a devout Christian family, her and her husband had been high school sweethearts, and she always acted like a very conservative, straight-laced lady. It turns out, she was a cheater (caught in the act). My friend left her immediately. At first, her family disowned her; her family and his were very close. After some time, they flipped and took their daughter's side (blood is thicker than water), and started lecturing him about how he needed to be a good Christian and forgive. He remarried, and has been with a good woman for decades now.
I also have a friend who worked for a private detective once. He told me that based on the cases he worked, women definitely cheat more than men.
There’s actual studies on who cheats more and it’s not women.
Anecdotes are not evidence. Female infidelity has increased but still doesn’t match male infildelity. Particularly if you define porn and OF interactions as cheating.
