After 27 years of marriage, you have to wonder, what went wrong? Did these issues stem from the beginning? I've been reading a bit about the Bill and Melinda Gates divorce, and started questioning if he is LVM. They dated for six years before they got married. Apparently, he had to make a pros and cons list about marriage. She caught him making the list, and famously said "he had to make a decision." That's right. Melinda Gates: humanitarian, philanthropist, attractive, smart, accomplished, intelligent woman had to pressure that GEEK into marriage AFTER SIX YEARS.

If he wanted to start a billion dollar technology company, he would. If he wanted to get married, he would.
