"Lawyers are the only guaranteed winners in a divorce." One of Dr. Grande 's most profound and insightful statements/observations. I wonder why more people aren't aware of this.
I’m on my second marriage 13 years this year and my advice to you if you’re not happy find someone who treats you like the special human you really are. Life is too short to stay in an unhappy marriage. It’s called a mistake.
Finding what you want in this day and age is easier said than done... women don’t tolerate bs at middle age and men at middle age are set in their ways. It won’t be a problem for either of the Gates, money and status always provides....
Married 40 years...on my first & only marriage. Happiness is a feeling & love is a feeling. Feelings change. Marriage is having the same values & goals...not about a passing feeling which denotes immaturity.
If already been into a relationship then ended coz of many valid reasons, is it really NEEDED, to still keep on continuing To find a Partner/Men To make a Divorcee Happy🤔 Is it Impossible to be all single 🙅😏🤔
Life is to short to get married stay single and explore yourself and the world. Asking another person to spend a lifetime with you is insane. So silly.
Dr G definitely looks too young to have been married 27 yrs!😮 I didn't even know he was partnered until I saw his Hello Fresh ad where he was clearly preparing food for more than himself lol. Congratulations Dr G, very impressive and makes me happy👏👍💜
True. The family law bar is the only winner in a divorce, though -- since the Gates' kids are all over 18 -- at least the painful issues of custody & parenting time are not going to be litigated. I tried my hand at family law when I first entered private practice: Even telling a client that s/he will likely spend a decade in prison is preferable to explaining to a client that his/her time with the children will be limited.
@@LamLawIndy My father worked as a court appointed mediator in family court mediation and often suggested that certain divorce attorneys that frequently came through his offices would purposely undermine mediation because it resulted in more billable hours. He would take me to work when I didn't have school sometimes, and I remember he was talking about one lawyer to another person in his department, when a judge who had overheard the conversation stuck his head in the door and said he thought another attorney whom he was known to clash with in court was really working with him so they both could bill more hours. Could they be disbarred over ethics for that? I know it'd be hard to prove, they'd just say they were representing their clients best interests. Would the The Bar even care?
@@LamLawIndy also, not that it really matters, but two of his kids live at home. The youngest is only 17, technically there would be some talk of custody, but that would only be subject to a few months of enforcement. The middle child is about to get married. She's probably moving out anyway.
Cures for relationship problems don't generate money like a divorce can. Divorce Is a multi billion dollar industry, and that industry won't budge for change...
something old (their marriage) something new (her divorce money in her checking account) something borrowed (ms-dos) something blue (windows screen of death).
4:55 "... probably running on Windows, which means they're offline every other day for updates" That got an audible laugh, rather than just a nose exhale.
Diana didn’t know about Camilla . When she found out she was told it was too late to stop the wedding as her ‘face was on the tea-towels ‘ And she was told by the Queen Mum not to worry as it was just a fling and Charles was going to dump Camilla once he married. Diana was young and naive . The woman who married Gates knew before she married him that he was going to keep seeing his girlfriend . She obviously married him for his money imo. Why didn’t he marry his girlfriend ? You’re right maybe the wife had enough ! Maybe they had an open relationship and she met someone else she wanted to be with ?
@Taiwo Omotosho I’d rather be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy.! Lol! Seriously though , Poverty and lack of money doesn’t buy happiness either. People throughout the world are d.ying because they have no money to buy food and fresh , clean water . Many people are miserable without money too and many people have money worries . We’re all told that money doesn’t buy happiness but I don’t see the rich giving away their money to be happy! In fact they just look for opportunities just to make more money. Money gives you the freedom to live your life as you want . Eg If you want to be an artist , you can , you don’t have to worry about the bills . If you want to travel you can. Money buys power and respect . People don’t respect the homeless guy begging for money in the street . Money isn’t everything in life but it’s darn important and great to have imo .
This is the first time I've heard Dr. Grande mention anything about his family. 😮 It's nice learning a little bit about the man behind our favorite dry-humored doctor. 😁
Phoebe, Bill and Melinda's youngest child turned 18 in September 2020. My guess is at that time Melinda went to Bill and started working out the contract for their divorce. Once Phoebe turned 18, there were no custody issues so it made sense to wait until that time. After the specifics of their divorce were worked out (which would take a number of months or even a year because of their immense assets plus no pre-nup) they officially filed for divorce. Realistically speaking, I'm sure the marriage has been over for a long time. This is all conjecture on my part, but it makes sense. These situations are all about negotiation. The uber rich live different lives than the average person.
@@debrashepard6770 Money doesn't buy happiness, but it sure is handy to get, or do things that DO make you, or the folks in your life, happy. Or hire people to do the things that make you UN-happy.

@@seriouslyjoking2 That is the problem. Nobody wants to put in the work and now there is a whole trending idea being pushed that says monogamy is not natural and it is impossible to achieve. They are encouraging people to ignore their marriage vows (and other people's) because "it is not possible". They cite the high divorce rate as their proof so they have got a handy little self-fulfilling prophesy going now. Encourage people to cheat on their partners and then cite the rising divorce rate as proof that they were justified in cheating and getting divorced. Brilliant. Lets encourage everyone to worry about nothing and no one except themselves that should make for a really happy society right? I'm sorry, but the self-absorbed, short-sighted immaturity of what passes for adults in this country is starting to wear on me.
Melinda is the one who filed for divorce. When a woman initiates divorce it’s because she has moved on emotionally long time ago. When a woman is gone emotionally is because something in the marriage is going against her sou’s desires.
@@synewparadigm She just doesn't feel it anymore. It can be because of several reasons but when a woman reaches a certain point where the attraction isn't there anymore, she checks out mentally. Men do it too. But woman by default are wired that way.

@@robertdouglas8895 That's great if you have plenty of money to lose. If you won't be homeless with half and SHE is the one that left with "Ramone". What I cannot figure out is why doesn't the guy she left with have to "Take up the notes"? You had to pay, why doesn't HE? Especially if kids gone, you didn't file, and she never worked a single day for the entire marriage. If she is single, then yeah, but if she was shacked up with the new guy BEFORE she even filed then she should have to lie in the bed she made with the next loser. NOT both of them living off of what YOU were able to scrape together.
LOL. At 5:13 Dr.Grande compares himself to Bill Gates, “he drives a Porsche 959; I once saw a picture of one. He invented Windows; I use Windows on my computer. Some think he’s an alien lizard humanoid; that’s one of my favorite topics.” 😂😂😂 This wasn’t exactly a direct quote, but close enough.
Very good point. She had to have known the Gates Foundation doesn't really help anyone. It just goes to organizations that funnel the money back to the foundation.
There are many reports & evidence she sought a lawyers advice a while back after hearing he had Epstein ties so I dont blame her. That alone would give me creepy vibes. Guys like him have alot of skeletons in his closet & plenty of places to hide them.

What is the divorce rate of billionaires shortly after the president announces a marriage tax on billionaires? Think tax avoidance... think like a billionaire.....let me know when they dissolve their foundation. That will be real. This divorce is simply tax avoidance
Grey divorce is when you have raised kids and after they leave the nest you look at each other and are completely different people. Well this is my take on it.
@@johnadams5489 No I wouldn't say it's rare, you can't raise kids with someone and not care, I think most relationships of that age either turn into good friendships or drift apart but this delusion that love is having a spark and sex life like you did in the first 3 months of dating is B.S and it really cunfuses woman because they have been told that's what to expect older woman know better.
I don’t understand being married and having an ongoing relationship with other people? I think this mutual agreement is unbelievably ridiculous. Why Marry with this in mind?
It seems like the years you’d want to be there for the one you loved all of your life, getting older and possibly sick, there for your loved one and someone there for you. As a nurse, I see widows and widowers all of the time, and it’s such a lonely life to be older and alone. Maybe not through sickness and health after all.
People divorce and remarry at all stages of life. I met a fellow several months back who found new love again at age 90 and couldn’t be happier. I would think it would be a lonelier existence continuing life with a partner one has grown apart from, perhaps married for the wrong reasons or any number of scenarios. I think the pandemic woke a lot of people up to the fact that life is too short to feel bound to the wrong person for them, across all age groups and income levels. People have been shaken out of complacency and are looking at their lives with new eyes and new mindsets, and as a result a huge shift is happening. We will see many more of these announcements in the coming months, whether it’s celebrities or the nice couple down the street in your neighborhood that no one would ever imagine would split up. My opinion only. 💞
@@cosmicjourney1111 I agree that's why I'm making this comment on TH-cam. The pandemic open my eyes to every person that was in my life was not my friends. So closer to 60 years old I've made a decision to distance myself and not waste my time 2020 was one of the best year of my life
@@cosmicjourney1111 You nailed it! This is the Aquarian age. More people just want to be happy and want to pursue that by doing whatever works for them as individuals. Dying alone scare tactic? There's many who are alone in nursing homes who are married and have children who live close by?
A long term marriage can be mutually assured survival or at worst, mutually assured destruction. Forget love and romance, it never really lasts, but respect and caring can. It's a harsh world to pass through alone.

My husband and i are still on our first marriage. 59 years. 7 children 13 grandchildren later. We now live alone and are healthy and active at 81 and 84. When our nest emptied out we lived like honeymooners in our cozy little home of 40 years. Love is stronger than ever because we can give each other more attention and value each other more each day as we approach our mortality.
Yes, I wonder about that as well. They shared 1 weekend a year for 27 years. In that time did she not have a husband or any other close relationship that the partner would not object to this yearly weekend folly? Unless I was a gold digger I could never have a relationship like that, it would be unsustainable.
I remember when they were first married, I heard that was part of their contract. When I didn't hear anything more about it, I figured it had just been a rumor. The other rumor was that Bill's mother, Mary, picked Melinda for Bill, or at least approved her. Melinda was very similar to his his mother, and they were great friends. Talk about Seattle royalty! I am actually happy for them both, only hope that their kids are dealing with it. You NEVER see or hear anything about them.
I remember reading a story of a couple who were 'celebrating' their 50th wedding anniversary. With the whole family and several friends, the wife declared that she was filing for divorce. She had put up with her husband for 50 years and was NOT going to do it one more day!
@@brilliantdiva5068 She must have been miserable enough to go that way. I thought it was an odd decision, too. I can't even imagine what the whole family felt about it! That changed their lives, as well. I knew a wonderful couple that had been married for 75 years. He had cancer and decided that at his age, he wasn't going to fight it. After he died, his wife just withered away. To be together for so many years, then one is gone, it would be like half of you is missing. These beautiful people were treasures of our community. We were all devastated by their loss.
_I remember reading a story of a couple who were 'celebrating' their 50th wedding anniversary.

That she chose to announce her decision to seek divorce in those circumstances makes me suspect she was the insufferable one in that marriage.

Money alone is not the only metric of wealth; it is but one aspect of it. True wealth is having a sense of abundance - one that we experience rather than possess. Wealth may also mean seeking deeper relationships, more personal growth, or ways to create more meaning in life and possessing the ability to enjoy the small, ordinary pleasures of our existence. ☺

I’ve seen that happen before and it’s not pretty. Gone now are decades of mental and psychological abuse and lack of empathy at the hands of a sociopath
In public interviews, Melinda holds her tongue. She has been holding the line on a lot of lies. Bill is like tiger, not at all who he appears to be, yet the power he wants rests partly on the image.
She was on TV not long ago complaining about Bill not doing the dishes or setting the table with a somewhat incredulous tone of voice. I think the issue is not the dinner setting or dishes. My guess is she doesn’t feel seen, heard or understood.
@@churblefurbles Without Bill, she'd probably still be employed at Microsoft. That's where they met. She probably would have been like everyone else. Although, I did think they started the foundation together. Now, not sure. I'll look it up. Also, for a decade, or more, we never really even saw her. Or knew her name. She's been all over the media for the past several years, now. Making herself known. Maybe she was tired of being in his shadow? (She should have known she would be before marrying him) I don't think much info will be released on this divorce. They say it's amicable. Not like the Bezos divorce. ✌
Sure she was happy about the arrangement . He was already very rich and she knew he was going to be richer . She also knew she could divorce him if she had enough and she’d be very wealthy . As Bill Gate’s wife she knew she’d get a lot of respect , mix in prominent circles and live in totally different world. What I’m curious about is why he didn’t marry his girlfriend !
Mr Gates is one of these people who look better As they age. He worked hard his entire life and Then decided to live his life. Plain and simple. And it's not Epstein effect , Mrs Gates cared about That as much for last winter snow. Looks like it's CHINESE EFFECT.
Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; just speculating what could be the meaning of five plants lined up diagonally across a small nightstand like this.
My grandparents finalized their divorce just before my parents got married. Their marriage was awful, and they cheated on each other. My grandma ran off with my grandpa's (still married) best friend, leaving my dad and his brothers to be raised by my grandpa. She returned, asked for a divorce and tried to buy back her sons' affection. Now, I didn't know any of this growing up. In fact, they were best friends once their divorce was done...to the point that I didn't know they were ever married or divorced when I was growing up. They didn't act like they had ever been married, and they certainly didn't act like they had gotten divorced. They never put up walls or made us compartmentalize our relationship as a family. They spent holidays together with us. They visited each other. And my grandma cared for my grandpa following his stroke until he died (even though he had remarried, but that b*tch disappeared.) I just always thought they'd been friends.
As always, your analysis is highly informed... yet neutral of judgement. Considering Melinda's media statements. Regarding Bill's association with Epstein. Your dry humor still kills me...& thank you for that. In particular ... "I saw a picture of that car once". Brilliant as always, Dr Grande.
#5 All the kids are grown up and out of the house and you find out that you and your spouse no longer have anything in common. One parent, usually the mother, has spent so much time with taking the kids to and fro, that you didn't spend time keeping the marriage alive. You don't like the same music, movies, friends and activities. It's an empty feeling.
Congratulations on the first 27yrs, Dr G and here's to you guys for the next 27! Yaaaaaay!🎉💕🎊💕🎉 PS my family and I can't believe you're old enough to have been married for that long, my son (18, who is a big fan and told me about your channel) was amazed, so congrats on that too!

Dr.Grande opted for shade in this video because boy he kept them coming, talking about Microsoft robots and needing updates every two days!...Good one Dr!
I can't help but wonder how that conversation went when Bill was like "Melissa, I love you and want you to be my wife forever, but do you mind if I plan an annual weekend trip with my ex? It'll just be the two of us, but I promise it's strictly platonic. No hanky panky.".
@@svalentina3075 I agree and who knows if Melinda didn't have someone at the side. The wife is in a position of power over the side chics and as long as he taking care of me, kids and our home and he not bringing diseases or any bastards. We good!
I'm a 39-year old woman and I have plenty of pure platonic friendships with men. I would never think of making that physical. We often have very stimulating conversations. I have a very high IQ so for me that's kind of "essential" to be happy in life. So I would understand that arrangement. And before you ask: I'm called "very beautiful" by plenty of people so it's not for a lack of interrest.
My first marriage lasted 7 years. My 2nd is at 36 1/2 years and still going strong. Most of my family members who were married twice are still with their 2nd spouse. Only one got divorced after about 24 years of marriage (their first marriage lasted about four years)
@@shawnmendrek3544 There are many open marriages they can get really complicated emotionally even though people in those relationships THINK they have it all under control until suddenly they dont...I have treated such people . Sybil Francis PhD
Divorces are not necessarily failures, and it always bugs me a little when it's referred to in that way. Clearly they had a 'successful' marriage and divorcing does not negate that success. If it's what they both want, then where's the 'failure'?
Simple. A successful marriage is one that does not end except with death, i.e. a failure to keep the vow of "til death do us part". By definition, a divorce is a failed marriage. It doesn't mean it's not justified, but it is a failure.
Although happily married myself, I've stopped thinking of divorce as "sad". There are certainly ugly divorces that are incredibly painful, but they don't have to be that way. And any time one spouse gives up on the relationship, I feel like it's really no longer healthy or fulfilling for either of them, so the dissolution is still the best outcome and in that sense can be celebrated as a relief. But, I also feel like it's ok to change your mind or your plans or goals after 20, 30, 40+ years (or fewer!)--in most areas of life we consider that healthy! Expected, even! And if you really have a great partner, you can discuss these things, and potentially decide that the marriage (which is already a weird, made-up construct, tbh.) isn't the best path forward. Why waste your life being dissatisfied?🤷🏻♀️ Now I lean towards celebrating people for being adults, having healthy, sometimes difficult conversations, and separating amicably. I would certainly never tell someone to stay in an unpleasant relationship just because they'd already wasted so much time in it! Or because it had been happy once. That's the sunken cost fallacy! If you separate amicably you can still rally together for your children and even each other. Seems mature and healthy. Not trying to tell people not to put work into their relationships, and that they can go through difficult times and stick things out and that is also good and healthy. But if the relationship is fundamentally flawed, and it cannot be reconciled through effort and counseling, etc. it's ok to acknowledge that--and move on. At 60, nowadays, you may still have 30-40 years ahead of you! That's an incredibly long time to be unhappy!
Note - you didn't mention the stories about Bill and Epstein that hit the headlines before their announcement. Another story.. When my ex-husband died, seriously, my therapist said, "I'm happy for you and your child."
Read that when they were dating, Melinda saw a whiteboard in Bill’s bedroom with a list of the pros and cons of getting married. I hope Melinda then returned the favor with her own board listing the pros and cons of staying married!
The difference between you & Bill Gates is that you didn't write it on a whiteboard. EVERYONE does this mentally. Is this man good for me...as a husband, a father, a lover, etc. or not. EVERYONE. BTW...married 40 years here.
@@seriouslyjoking2 But my story is - with a wink and a nod - on the humorous side (which makes your response ironic due to your username). Thanks for being accidentally amusing.
Lmao good one. It's true though, she could probably stake out a piece and they'd never see each other, he wouldn't even know she was there. Crazy to imagine having properties so large this is actually totally feasible😆
"Gray Divorce" is just a term to group up people into categories thrown out there by people that have no idea what average people live like. Divorce happens at any age for many different reasons. Mostly because people are either selfish, or stupid, and those conditions aren't mutually exclusive to each other.
Gray divorce happens because people who have been married a long time reach a stage that they have issues that have not been resolved and that this may be their last chance to find happiness. Mind you...happiness is very subjective and fleeting. Different choices.
I wonder if they tried to turn their marriage off, unplug it and plug it back in before they called the repairman.

Yeah its a means not end goal. Really stupid to think it makes for happiness.
Rennata, Sometimes the small challenges of life make it interesting. You take away all those challenges and if you don't have a true personal passion, something you love to do that drives you, life can be boring. And all that money won't help you.
Have you ever felt boredom? How do you handle it.

"Lawyers are the only guaranteed winners in a divorce." One of Dr. Grande 's most profound and insightful statements/observations. I wonder why more people aren't aware of this.
Attorneys win, we poor slobs pay with stress and cash.😊
I’m on my second marriage 13 years this year and my advice to you if you’re not happy find someone who treats you like the special human you really are. Life is too short to stay in an unhappy marriage. It’s called a mistake.
I’ve come full circle on this and you are right. Try your best to make it work but don’t force the issue. Find what you want.
Finding what you want in this day and age is easier said than done... women don’t tolerate bs at middle age and men at middle age are set in their ways. It won’t be a problem for either of the Gates, money and status always provides....
Married 40 years...on my first & only marriage. Happiness is a feeling & love is a feeling. Feelings change. Marriage is having the same values & goals...not about a passing feeling which denotes immaturity.
If already been into a relationship then ended coz of many valid reasons, is it really NEEDED, to still keep on continuing To find a Partner/Men To make a Divorcee Happy🤔 Is it Impossible to be all single 🙅😏🤔
Life is to short to get married stay single and explore yourself and the world. Asking another person to spend a lifetime with you is insane. So silly.
Wow, you don't even look old enough to have been married for 27 years. That's awesome!
I can’t believe Bill leave his beautiful wife for that ugly ex girlfriend.
Dude must color that unruly mop of spirited hair on top of his head.❤
He was 17 years old 32 years ago I think he said :)
@@donnaroberts4513 - You don’t know that that is the reason and his ex is not ugly.
Dr G definitely looks too young to have been married 27 yrs!😮 I didn't even know he was partnered until I saw his Hello Fresh ad where he was clearly preparing food for more than himself lol. Congratulations Dr G, very impressive and makes me happy👏👍💜
"lawyers are the only guaranteed winners in a divorce" 😂😂😂 truth
Absolute fact
True. The family law bar is the only winner in a divorce, though -- since the Gates' kids are all over 18 -- at least the painful issues of custody & parenting time are not going to be litigated. I tried my hand at family law when I first entered private practice: Even telling a client that s/he will likely spend a decade in prison is preferable to explaining to a client that his/her time with the children will be limited.
So true
@@LamLawIndy My father worked as a court appointed mediator in family court mediation and often suggested that certain divorce attorneys that frequently came through his offices would purposely undermine mediation because it resulted in more billable hours.
He would take me to work when I didn't have school sometimes, and I remember he was talking about one lawyer to another person in his department, when a judge who had overheard the conversation stuck his head in the door and said he thought another attorney whom he was known to clash with in court was really working with him so they both could bill more hours.
Could they be disbarred over ethics for that? I know it'd be hard to prove, they'd just say they were representing their clients best interests. Would the The Bar even care?
@@LamLawIndy also, not that it really matters, but two of his kids live at home. The youngest is only 17, technically there would be some talk of custody, but that would only be subject to a few months of enforcement.
The middle child is about to get married. She's probably moving out anyway.
There seems to be plenty of support in our culture for exiting a bad relationship but not for how to get through rough patches together.
Sadly!
Cures for relationship problems don't generate money like a divorce can. Divorce Is a multi billion dollar industry, and that industry won't budge for change...

4:55 "... probably running on Windows, which means they're offline every other day for updates" That got an audible laugh, rather than just a nose exhale.
He didn't drop his girlfriend when he married like he should have. Sounds like another Prince Charles/Camilla/Diana love triangle and she had enough.
Bill & Charles probably get hit on ALL the time ... you gotta cut them some slack!
Only took 30 years
Diana didn’t know about Camilla . When she found out she was told it was too late to stop the wedding as her ‘face was on the tea-towels ‘ And she was told by the Queen Mum not to worry as it was just a fling and Charles was going to dump Camilla once he married. Diana was young and naive . The woman who married Gates knew before she married him that he was going to keep seeing his girlfriend . She obviously married him for his money imo. Why didn’t he marry his girlfriend ? You’re right maybe the wife had enough ! Maybe they had an open relationship and she met someone else she wanted to be with ?
@Taiwo Omotosho I’d rather be rich and unhappy than poor and unhappy.! Lol! Seriously though , Poverty and lack of money doesn’t buy happiness either. People throughout the world are d.ying because they have no money to buy food and fresh , clean water . Many people are miserable without money too and many people have money worries .
We’re all told that money doesn’t buy happiness but I don’t see the rich giving away their money to be happy! In fact they just look for opportunities just to make more money. Money gives you the freedom to live your life as you want . Eg If you want to be an artist , you can , you don’t have to worry about the bills . If you want to travel you can. Money buys power and respect . People don’t respect the homeless guy begging for money in the street . Money isn’t everything in life but it’s darn important and great to have imo .
@Taiwo Omotosho yeh I feel you there. This is all just emotionally...gross
How she EVER agreed to “one week per year on an island with his former girlfriend” is BEYOND ME. Hello, RED FLAG!

@@chrisgould101 are you on Forbes list? 😉
Phoebe, Bill and Melinda's youngest child turned 18 in September 2020. My guess is at that time Melinda went to Bill and started working out the contract for their divorce. Once Phoebe turned 18, there were no custody issues so it made sense to wait until that time. After the specifics of their divorce were worked out (which would take a number of months or even a year because of their immense assets plus no pre-nup) they officially filed for divorce. Realistically speaking, I'm sure the marriage has been over for a long time. This is all conjecture on my part, but it makes sense. These situations are all about negotiation. The uber rich live different lives than the average person.

“Lawyers are the only guaranteed winners in divorces.” Oof.
He's the land LORD and we're the peasants. Nothing new there.
Mimi Kazan: Well, yeah, you betcha... they get paid no matter what happens to the divorcees, and whether they have any estate left after the lawyer has been paid.
Exactly 💯
I hear lawyers are now adding “COVID clauses” to divorce proceedings. In the Gates' situation, I don't think they're too worried about economic uncertainty...
And wives too.
“...Went to NC and spent time with his previous girlfriend...” Well, that would do it.
Right, things just went on as normal...these psychopaths are wild😅
A long weekend once a year is not that much time. Melinda probably used to get some 'me' time of her own.
That's a small price to pay. Sounds like she agreed on the arrangement.

They are encouraging people to ignore their marriage vows (and other people's) because "it is not possible". They cite the high divorce rate as their proof so they have got a handy little self-fulfilling prophesy going now. Encourage people to cheat on their partners and then cite the rising divorce rate as proof that they were justified in cheating and getting divorced. Brilliant. Lets encourage everyone to worry about nothing and no one except themselves that should make for a really happy society right? I'm sorry, but the self-absorbed, short-sighted immaturity of what passes for adults in this country is starting to wear on me.

Melinda is the one who filed for divorce. When a woman initiates divorce it’s because she has moved on emotionally long time ago. When a woman is gone emotionally is because something in the marriage is going against her sou’s desires.

@@robertdouglas8895 That's great if you have plenty of money to lose. If you won't be homeless with half and SHE is the one that left with "Ramone". What I cannot figure out is why doesn't the guy she left with have to "Take up the notes"? You had to pay, why doesn't HE? Especially if kids gone, you didn't file, and she never worked a single day for the entire marriage. If she is single, then yeah, but if she was shacked up with the new guy BEFORE she even filed then she should have to lie in the bed she made with the next loser. NOT both of them living off of what YOU were able to scrape together.

After the announcement of their divorce, what really struck me were the years and years of pictures with saccharine smiles of them together.
It's just an excuse to break up their assets without suspicion. They have enough houses to live separate lives and never see each other already.
Very good point. She had to have known the Gates Foundation doesn't really help anyone. It just goes to organizations that funnel the money back to the foundation.
Gates Divorce= judge ordered sell of stocks before planned crash takes place. The only way for them to stay out of jail.

There are many reports & evidence she sought a lawyers advice a while back after hearing he had Epstein ties so I dont blame her. That alone would give me creepy vibes. Guys like him have alot of skeletons in his closet & plenty of places to hide them.

Or, when your kids get old enough for you to have the time to figure out what your marriage is really about.

Because your views about marriage are different than theirs.

I bet because he was rising star.

It seems like the years you’d want to be there for the one you loved all of your life, getting older and possibly sick, there for your loved one and someone there for you. As a nurse, I see widows and widowers all of the time, and it’s such a lonely life to be older and alone. Maybe not through sickness and health after all.
People divorce and remarry at all stages of life. I met a fellow several months back who found new love again at age 90 and couldn’t be happier. I would think it would be a lonelier existence continuing life with a partner one has grown apart from, perhaps married for the wrong reasons or any number of scenarios. I think the pandemic woke a lot of people up to the fact that life is too short to feel bound to the wrong person for them, across all age groups and income levels. People have been shaken out of complacency and are looking at their lives with new eyes and new mindsets, and as a result a huge shift is happening. We will see many more of these announcements in the coming months, whether it’s celebrities or the nice couple down the street in your neighborhood that no one would ever imagine would split up. My opinion only. 💞

His wife was ok with with him spending a week each year with another woman sounds like there were already issues.
Sure she was happy about the arrangement . He was already very rich and she knew he was going to be richer . She also knew she could divorce him if she had enough and she’d be very wealthy . As Bill Gate’s wife she knew she’d get a lot of respect , mix in prominent circles and live in totally different world.
What I’m curious about is why he didn’t marry his girlfriend !
Well if it was mother, grandmother, sister or aunt it might make sense.

And it's not Epstein effect , Mrs Gates cared about
That as much for last winter snow. Looks like it's
CHINESE EFFECT.
She stayed because of the children. It's all $$$. Why would anyone sleep with a mousey- looking, evil man⁉️⁉️
Just a reminder, I'm not diagnosing anybody in this video; just speculating what could be the meaning of five plants lined up diagonally across a small nightstand like this.
Lol ❤
Yes ! 💟 ❗️ 🤣 Your got it! So cute!
@@DameVonBonDaisy hey thanks for the emote!
:)
@@nancydisney1274 wow thanks for the emotes!
Melinda played the long game: marry the simp and take half his money in the end. And being evil, Bill deserved it.
"Bill owns a Porsche 959, I once saw a picture of one" 🤣
If I learned to use such comparisons, I would be the happiest man in the world 😆
People grow apart sometimes. Especially if there is a third party. Yearly vacations with ex girlfriends can be a catalyst for change.
I would have found a guy and spent that week having fun without Bill
@@bubbles3042 ABSOLUTELY!!!
Are you sure she didnt ?
My wife would never let me get away with that no matter how much of a toad that I was.
@@bubbles3042 Then you're the same as him lmao
Dr. Grande you are great. I did not realize you had three children. You look so young, and very well-spoken.I love Dr. Grande's theories as well.
My grandparents finalized their divorce just before my parents got married. Their marriage was awful, and they cheated on each other. My grandma ran off with my grandpa's (still married) best friend, leaving my dad and his brothers to be raised by my grandpa. She returned, asked for a divorce and tried to buy back her sons' affection. Now, I didn't know any of this growing up. In fact, they were best friends once their divorce was done...to the point that I didn't know they were ever married or divorced when I was growing up. They didn't act like they had ever been married, and they certainly didn't act like they had gotten divorced. They never put up walls or made us compartmentalize our relationship as a family. They spent holidays together with us. They visited each other. And my grandma cared for my grandpa following his stroke until he died (even though he had remarried, but that b*tch disappeared.) I just always thought they'd been friends.
Keep the history, keep the friendship.
As always, your analysis is highly informed... yet neutral of judgement.
Considering Melinda's media statements. Regarding Bill's association with Epstein.
Your dry humor still kills me...& thank you for that.
In particular ... "I saw a picture of that car once".
Brilliant as always, Dr Grande.
#5 All the kids are grown up and out of the house and you find out that you and your spouse no longer have anything in common. One parent, usually the mother, has spent so much time with taking the kids to and fro, that you didn't spend time keeping the marriage alive. You don't like the same music, movies, friends and activities. It's an empty feeling.
Congratulations on the first 27yrs, Dr G and here's to you guys for the next 27! Yaaaaaay!🎉💕🎊💕🎉
PS my family and I can't believe you're old enough to have been married for that long, my son (18, who is a big fan and told me about your channel) was amazed, so congrats on that too! Keep the picture in the attic😉👏👏👏
Dr.Grande opted for shade in this video because boy he kept them coming, talking about Microsoft robots and needing updates every two days!...Good one Dr!
I can't help but wonder how that conversation went when Bill was like "Melissa, I love you and want you to be my wife forever, but do you mind if I plan an annual weekend trip with my ex? It'll just be the two of us, but I promise it's strictly platonic. No hanky panky.".
@@crochunter35 For the amount of money she made, I too would have turned a blind eye, to be completely honest.
Thank you for the honesty
@@svalentina3075 I agree and who knows if Melinda didn't have someone at the side. The wife is in a position of power over the side chics and as long as he taking care of me, kids and our home and he not bringing diseases or any bastards. We good!
I'm a 39-year old woman and I have plenty of pure platonic friendships with men. I would never think of making that physical. We often have very stimulating conversations. I have a very high IQ so for me that's kind of "essential" to be happy in life. So I would understand that arrangement.
And before you ask: I'm called "very beautiful" by plenty of people so it's not for a lack of interrest.
This is incredibly odd.
My first marriage lasted 7 years. My 2nd is at 36 1/2 years and still going strong. Most of my family members who were married twice are still with their 2nd spouse. Only one got divorced after about 24 years of marriage (their first marriage lasted about four years)
*lowkey drops windows shade* "... now back to my analysis" lollll
Bahahaha
I admire you even more now that your sense of humor has surfaced. Love it.
Hello, How are you doing?
Nancy Gordon,You look stunning 🌹🌷🌷,hope you are with a good man!!
“Spent a weekend every year with his old girlfriend...” that’s got to wear on a person. I wonder how many men would tolerate that.
Zero
@@shawnmendrek3544 There are many open marriages they can get really complicated emotionally even though people in those relationships THINK they have it all under control until suddenly they dont...I have treated such people . Sybil Francis PhD
If my wife was a billionaire and we didn't have a pre-nup, I'd rent a 5-star suite for them every year.
NONE. Lol
None
Divorces are not necessarily failures, and it always bugs me a little when it's referred to in that way. Clearly they had a 'successful' marriage and divorcing does not negate that success. If it's what they both want, then where's the 'failure'?
Simple. A successful marriage is one that does not end except with death, i.e. a failure to keep the vow of "til death do us part". By definition, a divorce is a failed marriage. It doesn't mean it's not justified, but it is a failure.
Although happily married myself, I've stopped thinking of divorce as "sad". There are certainly ugly divorces that are incredibly painful, but they don't have to be that way. And any time one spouse gives up on the relationship, I feel like it's really no longer healthy or fulfilling for either of them, so the dissolution is still the best outcome and in that sense can be celebrated as a relief. But, I also feel like it's ok to change your mind or your plans or goals after 20, 30, 40+ years (or fewer!)--in most areas of life we consider that healthy! Expected, even! And if you really have a great partner, you can discuss these things, and potentially decide that the marriage (which is already a weird, made-up construct, tbh.) isn't the best path forward. Why waste your life being dissatisfied?🤷🏻♀️ Now I lean towards celebrating people for being adults, having healthy, sometimes difficult conversations, and separating amicably. I would certainly never tell someone to stay in an unpleasant relationship just because they'd already wasted so much time in it! Or because it had been happy once. That's the sunken cost fallacy! If you separate amicably you can still rally together for your children and even each other. Seems mature and healthy. Not trying to tell people not to put work into their relationships, and that they can go through difficult times and stick things out and that is also good and healthy. But if the relationship is fundamentally flawed, and it cannot be reconciled through effort and counseling, etc. it's ok to acknowledge that--and move on. At 60, nowadays, you may still have 30-40 years ahead of you! That's an incredibly long time to be unhappy!
Note - you didn't mention the stories about Bill and Epstein that hit the headlines before their announcement.
Another story.. When my ex-husband died, seriously, my therapist said, "I'm happy for you and your child."
She doesn't want to go down in history for crimes against humanity along with her husband.
ADRENOCHROME!!
WELL SAID!
Too late now.
yep!!
Wow, look at the comments FINALLY people are waking up!
Read that when they were dating, Melinda saw a whiteboard in Bill’s bedroom with a list of the pros and cons of getting married. I hope Melinda then returned the favor with her own board listing the pros and cons of staying married!
The difference between you & Bill Gates is that you didn't write it on a whiteboard. EVERYONE does this mentally. Is this man good for me...as a husband, a father, a lover, etc. or not. EVERYONE. BTW...married 40 years here.
@@seriouslyjoking2 But my story is - with a wink and a nod - on the humorous side (which makes your response ironic due to your username). Thanks for being accidentally amusing.
@@beauteoussounds1156 I hope she did.
There is no pro to a man getting married. Women, yes plenty of pros. They get financial security by divorcing. No fault laws make this possible.
No, more specially, Melinda's board had to have the pros and cons of marrying Bill Gates
So she will get into the Porche and drive off to the opposite side of their home?
Lmao good one. It's true though, she could probably stake out a piece and they'd never see each other, he wouldn't even know she was there. Crazy to imagine having properties so large this is actually totally feasible😆
Haha, or she´ll take the private jet to go to the other side of their property.
Good one!
LOL 👏 🤣
Money can buy luxury, comfort but not happiness and love.
"Gray Divorce" is just a term to group up people into categories thrown out there by people that have no idea what average people live like. Divorce happens at any age for many different reasons. Mostly because people are either selfish, or stupid, and those conditions aren't mutually exclusive to each other.
Gray divorce happens because people who have been married a long time reach a stage that they have issues that have not been resolved and that this may be their last chance to find happiness. Mind you...happiness is very subjective and fleeting. Different choices.
