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.
