I can't believe that you guys automatically think it's her fault. That's the mentality that makes women leave men.
I'm not a guy.
I'm a woman disgusted with the possibility (and I repeat...possibility) that Marta would use threats for financial gain.
I believe it's called blackmail.
If you go by statistics, close to 70% of divorces are filed by women.
I've been thinking the same thing.
Why is everybody assuming that SHE dumped HIM???
Maybe HE'S the one who dumped HER!!!
(Hmmmm... but doesn't that imply it was her fault also???)
Hmmmm... I know! I know!
It's Bo Snerdley's fault!
HE'S the one who's supposed to screen everything so it works out smoothly!
"I can't believe that you guys automatically think it's her fault. That's the mentality that makes women leave men."
That's because we've all seen this before. Some gold digger comes along and takes some poor dope for all he's worth. The truth is, all marriages have their problems, and not all of them can be worked out. In an earlier post, someone mentioned that when Rush met Marta, she was married. She then left her husband to be with him. If I was Rush, I sure would not have trusted her after that.
I'm female and if she's planning a tell-all book (rushed out to be right in time for the November election maybe?), I will definitely think it's her fault. Rush wasn't super rich when they married 10 years ago. Thanks to him she has lived a pretty lavish lifestyle (especially the florida move, mansion and all) and she got business opportunities she wouldn't have gotten otherwise. Who would have heard of Marta at all if Rush hadn't - out of love for his wife - promoted her design and magazine ideas? I feel sorry for Rush (only secondarily am I thinking "He's back on the market! Woo-hoo!").
It sounds as if you have a lot of experience in that area.
I am a woman & I suspect she married him for his money & now is cashing in her chips. Remember listening to him talk about Marta's birth week. What kind of a woman demands that her birthday be expanded to last a week. He talked about having to wine & dine her. Rush may not be the easist to live with but I'll bet she was in it for the payoff.
I can't imagine spending a one week golf trip with this egomaniac, much less 10 years with him.
The only thing he EVER had "on loan from God" was radio talent.
I don't think it is all Marta's fault anymore than I think it is all Rush's fault. Personally, I wasn't there, will never be there and can not know the whole story. So, I have decided to not form any opinion at all. I do have one speculation; I would be willing to guess whatever happened has something to do with this investigation in to Rush's alleged Doctor shopping. My saying that is not assuming Marta is completely to blame.
