After working with many high profile people... what the media says and what is actually going on is rarely portrayed accurately. The true travesty are the children... how tragic that they are rarely mentioned or considered. The people who"have it all" did not have it all... together. No envy here... my low profile life suits me just fine and then some.

Who? Where? High profile in what sense? This sounds like a humblebrag.

[@elpllc7541]

The children are rarely considered when their parents divorce. Be real. The pain and suffering it’s so great that it becomes all about self preservation. Consideration for the children becomes secondary. A spouse, on either side, can break the other down so far that there can be no other consideration but permanent separation.

[@Lily-have]

Marriage takes effort from both involved not only from the woman's side. Agreeing with a man who wishes to follow his dream for as long as he wants to while the woman is raising his kids like a single mother is that what you call sacrifice? What if it was Gisele who was putting her career first and family second then all of those women would have been mom-shaming her for not prioritizing her family. Some are accusing her of cheating but what if it was tom who had cheated on her? Society would have blamed her for his action since she wasn't spending enough time with him and made him feel lonely. As they say “a man has his needs” Women are always to blame. The sacrifices most women talk about they are the ones making the majority of them. Not every woman wants to play single mother while their men are too busy chasing their dream. Just like being a husband and father isn't enough to fulfill a man it is the same for women. She put her career on a hiatus for 10 years just to be there for him now it's time for her to also fulfill her desires without being mom-shame. A couple needs to give each other the chance to fulfill themselves outside of their marriage and children. It is give and take

[@bendover3653]

Why should he retire if he's not done yet? What other profession does a man retire at 45?

[@Lily-have]

@@bendover3653 the average men want to become successful so they can “spend more time with the family” while a man who is 45 years years old with WAYYY more money than the average men refuses to retire so he can do his husbandly and fatherly duty like the rest of his kind. While his wife for the sake of being there for him and his children took a 10 years hiatus from a career that solemnly focus on her beauty which fades with age. Why should you ask? Well so he can be more present and active in the life of his wife and children . So he can now support his wife’s dream so as she been supporting his. Marriage is a 100 percent support they say , well , now it’s time for him to show his support.

I love Margaritas but when I drink a few may get a little mouthy thus my wife does not like it much when I drink them. She said I don’t care what you drink, which is not much or often, but I don’t like it when you drink Margaritas. We been married almost 18 years and I love Margaritas but I love my wife way more so when she said that I promised her I would never drink another one and I have not and will not. She did not ask me to make that promise but my relationship with her and love for her means far more to me. Now that is a small thing and I could have said to her deal with it but then that would make me a prick and extremely selfish. Couples must compromise in a relationship and find out what is most important. I can’t imagine life without her and would be devastated but life without Margaritas is just great and I don’t miss them. Another great show. By the way Megyn I watched you on Fox News and loved your show but that was mostly political I so much love you more on this platform.

Giselle is the Tom Brady of modeling. She is a very successful woman. She has been open and vocal about her reservations with Tom Brady playing football including the damage to his body and brain. She cared about his health and him being there for their kids. It also seems like she wanted a turn pursuing her interests. Giselle had a home in Costa Rica for years well before she met Tom. A marriage is a partnership and it looks to me like Gisele did her part

@@BradSabako when your husband constantly chooses his career over his family don’t you blame her for leaving? Maybe this divorce will finally open his eyes with having 50/50 custody he’ll pay more attention to his family because Giselle is not there to pick up the slack and hopefully he’ll see that he needs to do what’s best for his health and living a long life to be there for his kids.

@@BradSabako there is no irony. He’s practically left going away to games and training for a decent chunk of the year therefore not spending more time with his family. So yeah if he wants to spend more time on the road than with his family she made the decision easier for him. He can rest easy doing his career. He’s 45 years old, he should’ve properly retired while he was on top. He’s not as good as he was and he’s holding on to an unrealistic goal. She expected this athlete lifestyle to have an expiry date which is very understandable. Football is not for forever. It’s all rumours and speculation that she’s dating her martial arts teacher. All sources say it’s false sooo do with that what you will. Celebs fly their trainers out all the time I don’t get how this somehow makes things a different situation.

By people you mean women. Years ago women were forced to compromise with the cheating, abuse, and disrespect.

[@Lily-have]

Imagine if Giselle was doing modeling shows following her dream-like Tom she would probably not have been able to attend the majority of his games. When that happens society would have called her the “unsupportive wife” who places her career before her family and not being there to support her husband. Yet when she asks Tom to put his career on a hiatus to be there for her society still calls her the “unsupportive wife” who wants her husband to give up his career so she can follow hers. In all women are still the ones required to make the sacrifices needed to make the marriage work. They can't give men an ultimatum because as the lady said “ in marriage, you can't keep track of the sacrifices you make” Women are expected to sacrifice out of love and are not required to hold them against their husbands. All the while they are supposed to be always grateful for their husband doing the bare minimum. Although women have been fighting for equal pay a lot of them still consider working to be a choice and for that reason society always supports men who complain about their wives putting their careers first and family second while the same society supports men who place more importance on their career than their family and guilt shame women who require their husband to do otherwise.

Who knows And bviously if you don't do anything for the marriage you don't need to keep scores. So should the person who get screwed just shut up until she gets a breakdown or cheat or should that person speak up and see if the partner is willing or not to finally also make an effort. At least she spoke, she tried they still did not agree so then she said she is done and moved on.

Whenever the wedding is all about the show, it won't last. They wake up the day after, look around, and think "now what?". Now the planning and parties and attention are over. Now the work begins. So many can't make the transition.

[@j0fiz986]

“I could tell” is a terrible, terrible assessment from an alleged doctor. That’s just gut feeling. A doctor is meant to be rational and logical, even with emotions. Assessments come from tangible elements that can be expressed. Your example is also daft I’m afraid. I’ll explain why. Say 24 people at that wedding, half of them think the marriage will last, half don’t. Of the half that don’t they guess the month the marriage will end…each with a different month. One of them would be right and 23 will be wrong. The one that was right thinks they are some genius predicting it, they are not.. they are oblivious to the number of false assessments which is a concept about “ignoring negative data”.

Why is it that some people always fall for fixer uppers...will be perfect if only... (I have done this myself). Tom was always Tom - if he hadn't been a successful football player she probably wouldn't have married him. Football is something he has always been passionate about, even before he met her. Why would you ask someone you love to give up their passion (it's not alcohol, it's not drugs, yes there's risks but lots of rewards from keeping fit and healthy). I think when people do give in to our demands we lose respect for them. Sounds like she was bored and instead of finding a passion for herself she made taking his away and making him miserable her passion.

[@Lily-have]

Your mindset is all wrong. No wonder why no one can stay married. Giselle has more money than tom and was more famous than him. Why do you think their divorce went so smoothly? It is because she doesn't need toms money. Also, keep in mind that she had been with him for 10 years not 10 days but years. It is hard to do that if you are not interested in someone. Marriage is not about a career it is about commitment to each other. Women are guilt shame into not prioritizing their careers for the sake of family and women are also considered the devil for requiring the same thing from their men. 10 years is a long time to be chasing your dreams and placing your family second. If you want to chase your dreams for as long as you want then stay single because some women want a present and active husband and father instead of a famous football player

[@kimberleygirl7533]

I find it interesting that many think Tom should have retired. Well he has a $37.5 million dollar, 10 year contract with Fox to be a sports analyst. He would be away from home a lot with this career also. He is only 45. Did she expect him to be home all the time? Imagine if he had demanded SHE give up her modeling career!!

The notion of sacrifice is deeply offensive to many people. Especially in the context of marriage. My family is the thing I value most in my life. My husband and I both have at times said no to many things, big and small, to protect it. To us, it is the foundation of every other good thing in our life and we are far better together than we were apart. We’ve been married 7 years, and we are continually happier in our marriage as time goes on.

In most marriages, great ones, bad ones, there is a control element in it and in regards to Sonny & Cher, Cher was a teen ager when she and Sonny got together, and as great as Sonny was at the beginning with her/their careers, he wasn't that great later on and Cher looked elsewhere for guidance. She was probably also finding herself as a person and they drifted apart, which happens so often.

I watched an interview with her and she said she was raising her kids with Tom and Tom's kids what she felt was by herself and she asked him after all the sacrifice her and the kids made not having him around that it was time for him to be part of the kids lives. He announced he was retiring and everything was fine and then he changed his mind so she filed for divorce. He had concussions from playing and she was worried about his future health.

@@bl1707 If one partner thinks forcing the other partner to do what he/she does not want to do, it will, without any doubt, end the marriage, or result in an unhappy marriage, and ruin the family. Roles, goals and how to accomplish them should be worked before marriage with no compromise. For example, if a woman who abhors smoking, meets a really good looking, sweet, guy who is smart and successful but smokes, but she decides to compromise on the smoking - marries him because of all his other qualities, that marriage will not last. She should not compromise on the smoking. If a guy, who is orderly and tidy, meets a beautiful, sweet woman who is disorganized and sufficiently untidy to be concerned about her being a future hoarder, that marriage will end. He should not have compromised on a trait that was important to him.

The Bible says to become one with your wife and not your career. If football is the most important piece of himself then, of course his marriage was doomed to fail. Your wife and children are the most important piece. Also, Giselle loves her career, she’s been modeling at a very young age, and yet she put her career on hiatus to be there for him and her family. if she was doing modeling shows she would probably not have been able to attend the majority of his games. The world would have called the “unsupportive wife” who places her career before her family and not being there to support her husband.
