Bill Gates Might Not Have Been Putting In Enough Effort For Melinda Gates
After Bill and Melinda Gates announced that they are divorcing after 27 years together, there was a rumor that she took her three adult children and their partners to a private island in the Caribbean, and Bill hid out in the California desert because he wasn’t wanted. Then we heard that their marriage had been dunzo for a while, in part due to Bill’s connection to Jeffrey Epstein. Now we’re hearing that someone in the marriage was allegedly going through the motions like a Windows 95 screen saver, and that person was Bill.
You and I regular people might have been shocked to see that the Bill and Melinda Gates of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation were splitting up after nearly three whole decades of marriage. But according to a source who spoke with People magazine, anyone who knew Bill and Melinda personally wasn’t surprised. Because according to the source, they had been growing apart for a loooooong time, and they were starting to have less and less in common as the years went on. As if that wasn’t enough of a reason to split up, there’s also the source’s claim that Bill wasn’t treating Melinda like the Microsoft Queen that she is:
“He could have treated Melinda better,” the source says. “He’s not a saint, but there isn’t one thing that created the final split. It goes deeper than that. It’s many years of differing views of the world, the foundation, and of life in general, and those things piling up. They are older and each personally looked at life and asked, ‘Is there more out there than what I have?'”
The source also gets into the kind of stuff that was driving Bill and Melinda apart. It’s convenient that the man’s name is Bill because it sounds like he was all about making money and doing business, all the time. And Melinda is apparently more interested in the human side of things, like women’s issues. Hmmm…yeah, okay, I can see how having the home phone/business phone/email address of a convicted pedo and alleged sex trafficker of underage girls could tear up a marriage.
“They’ve grown apart for a variety of reasons,” the source says. “She’s more interested in women’s issues and what and who they helped with the foundation. Bill was – and is – far more interested in the business side of his life.”
The source also alleges that Bill kind of talked over Melinda a lot, and that she worked really hard to try to find her own voice. And, his close friendship with his ex-girlfriend Ann Winblad, who he would have yearly solo hangouts with. The source says that whether or not they were ever romantic is irrelevant because it’s the fact that Bill’s very close friendship over years and years was what could “help destroy trust.”
All I’m really getting from this source is that Bill is one of those guys who looks like a sweet nerd on the outside but might actually be a cocky, arrogant type who thought his wife worshipped his ass and would never, ever leave. But you’d think that if he was so into business, he could have better prepared for the day his wife might finally realize, hey, my husband is kind of a dick, and leave, taking a chunk of his money with her? At the very least, how did he not use some of his tech billions to ensure his wife was happy, by creating a robot that looks exactly like him and programmed to be the world’s best husband. How can you be one of the world’s richest people, and not create a loving, caring pastel sweater-wearing husband-bot for your wife?
