Married for 31 years, no prenup, yea, that’s how it goes. She wasn’t someone who married someone famous just with the intent of it being a quick marriage with a big payoff.
Hope they are able to both move past the pain and bitterness and live happy lives.
its cheaper to keep her, as the song goes..
She has $400 million reasons to be happy.
He has a twenty something girlfriend.
Done and done.
From all I have read, Robyn has kept Mel from completely going over the edge, even after their divorce.
Well like they old joke goes...
Why are divorces so expensive?
They are worth it.
An instructor in a real estate Law class once laid out an instructive scenario on how much a man lost as he and his wife drove across state lines on a “move” from East coast ... to California.
Anybody got Robyn’s phone number?
Does anyone really give a rat’s a.. about this beside those involved. Why is it even news worthy?
The beauty of it is she gets $400 million AND gets rid of the jerk!
All if it happiness and removal of bitterness were only solved by such superficial things...
I know a lot of miserable folks who have lots of money, and more than a few miserable womanizers.
Rarely is happiness found in superficiality. Not saying wealth and beauty don’t have their benefits, but doesn’t mean all is coming up roses.
There is a Cougar I could go for.
She doesn’t really get rid of him.
He’s the father of her children. She will still have dealings with him for the remainder of her life. As her children grow older, those contacts with him will be less frequent and less important.
But, she’ll never get back all of those years of her life. Nor will she be able to change who fathered her children. They’re bound on this earth forever, whether she likes it or not.
There will never be a day of her life where she doesn’t think of him and remember their marriage.
It is sad that it ended this way... especially for the children.
Who gets the dog?
That should be enough to keep her off food stamps.
Obviously she was the adult in the relationship...and she didn’t want his name.
Yes obviously, I mean we only know what we see in the press which includes virtually nothing about her, but from that we know she is the adult. /s
He has a substance abuse problem. I seriously doubt it was a surprise to her after 31 years.
It's an unfortunate fact that a wonderfully sound ethics of happiness is not taught to our kids.
That Ethics, clear and simple, identifies virtues in the context of too much, too little or just right.
Patience, for instance, is one of Aristotle's virtues.
