Melinda French Gates on divorce: "I couldn't trust what we had"

[@kbcoop3249]

My ex wife and I made it 24 years before she cheated and bailed. It was crushing and took me about 2 years to even start to feel normal. After you raise kids and countless dogs and cats and pets and all the sports and holidays and then it’s like gone. Took awhile for me to even want to think about “rebuilding”

[@idjilju2835]

I hope you are thriving on your rebuilding journey!

[@kbcoop3249]

@est After all this time and divorce boards etc what I’ve learned is there is never a good reason to cheat. We recently chatted (texted) as we do have 2 kids together and I basically told her if you were unhappy I get that, we both weren’t really happy, but the cheating was the worst part. I could’ve taken an honest breakup much better. But lying and cheating after 24 years is really damaging. After 8 years I still don’t like to think about it

[@kbcoop3249]

@@idjilju2835 thank you, yes I’m much better. Happily single and comfortable being single. I’m happy I didn’t monkey branch right into another relationship. I date and have fun but at 57 I’m not thinking long term or marriage again. Kind of felt I did that already and quite frankly the women I’ve dated about my age are usually in the same boat. We’ve raised families already. And I don’t want to risk what I have left..house, money etc

I would want to ask her what her regrets and highlights were from the marriage, how would she have done things differently, what advice would you give your younger self now? Were you aware of any way you had been manipulated into your role? What do you do when you realise you have invested so much into the relationship and how do you work through it with all the social pressure from your background?

[@DITUCCI]

You're offering opinions with half the facts. @MelindaGates married @BillGates in spite of friendship with #JeffreyEpstein. She was aware Bill & Jeff were besties "before" wedding & married him anyway. @GeorginaChapman also married @HarveyWeinstein knowing of his violence but stays out of public eye. This "Healing Campaign" is little more than image repair hence the virginal white outfits.

[@BN2K]

Glad she’s healing from her heart break and disappointment; but it’s good that she stays respectful to her ex and their relationship; things do happen, people grow apart, money definitely didn’t make them happy, so it’s okay that each go their separate ways and live life to their fullest; you only have one life to live; I wish them both happiness, forgiveness and friendship as they move on with their separate lives 🙏🏾

Well I'm glad she left him. It's really hard to go thru a breakup, especially one that u didn't want that happened because you were cheated on. Betrayed. And humiliated in front of your friends, family, and the public eye. I'm happy for her that she doesn't have to be with a liar and a cheat anymore. And I'm glad that she is getting money from him. Hopefully she stays generous 🙏

Glad I tuned into this frequency channel, though I'm usually not interested in these types of content. There was a mention of "DOING A LOT" at the end of this video (by the CBS staff; a society-ingrained, LEFT BRAIN-CENTERED way of living); however COMMA it's about connecting to the Divine within FIRST AND FOREMOST---BEING state of I AM PRESENCE: TRINITY: SPIRIT (HIGHER HEART/MOTHER GODDESS)/SOUL (HIGHER MIND/GOD) & BODY. Appreciate Melinda sharing her authenticity---her transparently honest and vulnerable moments, to include being in the fetal position, and allowing herself to DEEPLY FEEL and grieve (part of the profound healing and transformation process). SENDING MELINDA MUCH MERGED LIGHT AND UNCONDITIONAL LOVE ENERGIES/FREQUENCIES. REMEMBER SOUL SISTER, YOUR GODDESS VERSION OF FULL-POTENTIAL, MULTIDIMENSIONAL, WHOLE SELF. Your past reality has DRASTICALLY CRUMBLED so that you can EXPERIENCE a PROFOUND SHIFT IN YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS---DEATH OF THE OUTDATED, CORRUPT, AND VERY BORING, AND REBIRTH OF AN AMAZING, NEW, MERGED, EARTHLY AND OTHERWORLDLY REALITY (TO INCLUDE A SACRED REUNION WITH A PARTNER WHO EMBODIES THE DIVINE MASCULINE ESSENCE). As we deeply connect with the SACRED REUNION WITHIN---THE RETURN of the Divine Feminine Goddess (Unconditional Love) and Divine Masculine God (Light)---our outer world will slowly, gradually, quickly, and even RAPIDLY SHOW UP as improved MIRRORS of relationships (including THE 7 ESSENCE MIRRORS).
