Not All Is As It Seems

I remember in the news years ago a divorced and broke woman won a large amount in the lottery. Many comments on-line were like. "Hah! That'll show your ex-husband!"...etc.

And I thought to myself, what if this woman was not very nice at all and her husband had to escape a terrible marriage. I mean, people just instantly sided with this woman without knowing any of the facts whatsoever.

It takes two to Tango and marriages can get very complicated over a myriad of issues...money, sex, health, attitude, lifestyle...etc.

Thoughts?
 

The comments were probably from man-hating women, who (of course) always foolishly assume the ex husband was to blame for the divorce.
 
I remember that...or something similar. People do make assumptions and often side with women when relationships go sour. As the saying goes "we never know what's going on behind closed doors", so unless something came to light to indicate that the husband was the villain then making him one is wrong. If she was the terror, even a million probably wouldn't be enough to make him want to reconcile. :LOL:
 

It just seems like everything is either black or white these days...no in between.

Subtlety, patience, nuance, in depth analysis, context...etc...have all go out the window.
 
No, it is not all that it seems. I have seen many control driven women. They had to be in charge of everyone and everything. They had to be the one to decide where to live, what house to buy, what kind of car. They had to have the best clothing, best beautician, had to have those mani pedi's, had to go have professional facials, massages.

Had to have a maid at least once a week. Had to go out to eat every night, after all she did work all day. If there were small children, someone else should do the bulk of the work. I mean, jeez, she took them out to dinner, someone else should bathe them, read to them and put them to bed.

She had the high paying job so everything else is not her responsibility. What the hell are we thinking, a mother should take care of her children, her home, be able to cook and then have a little respect for her husband and other family members. Then, after all this, they are shocked that her husband wanted a divorce, that her own mother made another child the executor of her estate. After all she was the one who had the best education!

Yes, I have known a few of these ladies. I also have say I am horrified by their behavior. Have I seen a change as they aged, no! They are even more demanding. If you are not happy with yourself when you are young, you are not going to be happy as you age.!
 
I learned a long time ago that there's always more to the story than what is first reported. Rarely is the whole story presented. With little information, it's common to jump to conclusions about who's the wronged party. How can you point the finger at the husband without knowing the details?
