But that really isn’t the point on this thread, is it?
A lot of people seem to want him to fail (ironic that) because she is younger than him and it is multiple marriages for him.
I don’t get that. Rush Limbaugh does a lot for the conservative movement, in my opinion. We should be pulling for him to succeed, not only for our political sake of having someone who tells it as many of us see it, but for his own personal sake.
Just my opinion.
I haven't seen anyone wanting him to fail. Where did you get that idea?
I think most here are pulling for him to succeed. I do hope this marriage lasts. I even hope they have kids. But you can't ignore history.

No. I was just answering your belief that he did not change during his marriages. But most likely, as he fell deeper into his addiction, he lied about his level of dependency to his wife, lied about his rate of consumption, lied about how he was getting them, refused to seek help, etc. This is all typical of addicts and it can kill a marriage. Narcotic painkillers in particular have side effects that can interfere with marital intimacy, as well.
But as you say, who knows what really went on behind closed doors? I hope this one is successful for him. I think of writer Harlan Ellison who divorced four times and still tried again, and has now been happily married for 20-some years. It CAN happen.
