I love my wife very much. But she knows I had certain passions before we ever met. She would never make me give them up. If she tried, I’d seriously question the relationship.

Why would a good partner try to take away your passions? Maybe they aren’t a good partner.

Except that's not what is going on. She gave up her career to have his kids and raise his family. Now it's his turn to do the same, and he said "nah, I'm too good for that, unlike you."

Honestly if you didn't realize that already, you must be pretty self centered to not see that she isn't the one who's being selfish, here.

It's always about how things are affecting you, huh? Never about how your actions affect others.

She could’ve easily stayed in her career. He didn’t force her to do anything. If she was going to be so bitter about it maybe she shouldn’t have given all that up in the first place.

I must be self centered… or I just don’t know anything about some football player and his familial relationships. I can see where it is very easy to confuse those things.

I am quite happily ignorant to Mr. Brady and his wife (ex wife?). If, he did in fact have his wife give up all sorts of stuff for him in an unbalanced then anything I said about questioning care for the partner can be obviously applied in both directions. Even after reading my previous post again I’m not sure why it would be taken as if it only went in favor of a single partner, but if it was taken that way it certainly wasn’t the intent.

You’re spot on here. The ppl downvoting you are idiots. She knew what she signed up for when she married a professional athlete

He couldn’t handle both. She knew the risk and she gave him years to full fill his dream of football.

Are you a close friend? Family member? It cracks me up when randos try to pretend like they know the initiate details and dynamics of someone else's relationship, especially celebrities lol

It doesn't take someone who knows them to know that she gave up modeling at basically the peak of her career to raise his kids, and now it's his turn to come home, and he wouldn't
