Why are Bill Gates and Melinda splitting up?

What drove them apart? That’s really the question that needs to be answered.

I kinda think it could have been a pandemic. When covid started, I thought that people being stuck alone with their partner would lead to all kinds of bad things. Truth is, most people in America don’t really fall in love with a person anymore. They don’t even care to really know other people enough to truly love them. They love who they hope they are, then get disappointed when it’s not true. I guess this is the outcome of a society based upon being self-centered. When all you care about is yourself, it’s hard to actually put a partner’s needs above your own.

But it also could have been the line in their contract that allowed him a weekend a year with his ex-girlfriend. That also pretty much shows he wasn’t in love with Melinda. If you love someone, you don’t want to go with an old flame. Not because you don’t desire the old flame, but because you love your partner enough to not put them through that. He didn’t care for her enough to even be fully faithful. The line in the contract shows that to be true.

It’s also very possible that this marriage ended up being based on business. Whether they loved each other or not, they did undertake a lot of humanitarian efforts together. And she got a life with billions to be his wife, so it would work in that sense. It’s still nothing I would recommend because it shows a lack of truthfulness to oneself to base your whole life on false emotions, but it’s also nothing new. Even females back in royal times would marry for reasons like this.

And then it could be just what they said. They weren’t growing together and don’t want to be together anymore. Unfortunately, this happens a lot. Whether it’s another guy/girl or just separate interests, it’s nothing new. Couples do seem to get into more problems now that social media is around, but that’s a whole other topic.

In the end, it’s doubtful we’ll know…right now. Give them a little time and a book or interview or docu-series will come out and expose all the things swept under the rug. That is the world we live in now, after all.
