Working together at the Foundation had made their relationship better, she argued. "He's had to learn how to be an equal, and I've had to learn how to step up and be an equal," she wrote.

Apart from her work with the Foundation she founded Pivotal Ventures, an investment company focused on women and families, in 2015.

"The world is finally waking up to the fact that none of us can move forward when half of us are held back," she said at the time. "The data is clear: empowered women transform societies."

 

My guess is Melinda moved beyond Bill and is more than equal now, just read the last sentence 

Our pm come to mind.

makes no sense when he advocate vaccination in africa with his foundation. and then refuse to lift covid patent for emergency use.

i can only admit the conspiracy of the african vaccination starts to sound less ridiculous.

All levity aside, Bill and Melinda were the couple I always looked up to, when I thought about how a marriage could remain intact despite all the odds and despite massive wealth. 

Well.

I think the most sound decision the current young can make is not to get married. Cohabit if you want. But don't get into the legal quagmire of marriage.

 I stand by remarks I made fairly recently:

As more and more in developed countries abstain from marriage, and their fertility rates dry up (with or without marriage, regardless of choice), the developing world will keep flooding us with kids. Regardless of wedlock. And heedless of their ability to support those kids properly. 

The future of the world looks darker than ever, and COVID-19 is only the merest blip on the long term horizon. 

Oh well. Humanity has had a good run. Time to let some other sentient species have their time in the sun. Or the star(s) of their system. It's a big galaxy out there, and even bigger observable Universe. And an incomprehensibly, unfathomable total Universe (with an unknownable Multiverse). And a long time to our heat death. The future looks promising, even if ours doesn't. Drake equation, Drake away. 

Might be a cold death too. Imagine being squeezed together with you in a great crunch

It's called the Big Crunch, ya scientific doofus. 😂

And as long as we don't have a Big Bang, you won't hear a Whimper out of me. 😁

Slight OT here but got a tiny related thread clinging onto this topic. Marriage. 

My cousin was telling me prior to me fetching him earlier today from Elias Mall that he witnessed a very fierce wife scolding her hubby at the top of her voice with many expletives infront of U-Star outlet. The grouse was that she was unable to find him anywhere inside the outlet. He defended himself by trying to show her he safe-entry twice but did not see her as well. Seems the scolding continued even till the lift lobby. 😔 Why can't call to ask where are you? Phone only for data no calls allowed? 

Before this, he witnessed another woman scolding her hubby loudly that he should not have married her then if cannot get what she wanted to eat from dunno what stall. 🙄 Got own hands own legs cannot walk to buy isit? 🤭

Think Covid did them in.

Maybe WFH too long until the walls of the house not enough for either party to drive each other up so continue venting in the public spaces. 

Perhaps it's more common these days or just my cousin's unlucky day to witness 2 quarrellings within a short span of time. 

Anyways, 27 years is still a feat to stay married, by today's standards. Less of 'till death do us part' but till 'love died so we part.' 

Familiarity can breed contempt so dun take each other for granted ya. 

Pretty sure there are still many happily married couples still holding on to each other and their Gates to 💰💰💰oops, I mean ❤️. 

Yada-ing. 

Stay safe all 

Cheers

"no longer can grow together as a couple" mean if combine the wealth cannot increase further so must split, you see Apple shares split so many time yet the price still keep going up

When his is MICRO and SOFT, it's no wonder Melinda can't take it anymore.

Word is she wasn't happy with his habit of being in Office365 and having a poor Outlook.

Despite how much he would Excel..

she just felt like she didn't have Access to him.

And ..she's got a good Power point there.

I think if he support lifting patents, pharmas and opponents would tell him why not lift microsoft licenses for poor countries to equalise development.

Rich cunts are all looking out for each other. Nothing new.

Bill Gates spent one weekend a year with his ex-girlfriend under an agreement with his wife. Here's how to know if that would help your marriage, according to a therapist.
