Aikman, wife separate after decade of marriage

[CanadianCowboysFan]

No it isn't. It depends upon the individuals who are involved. People seem to take offense when this is said, but a part (sometimes a large one, especially if your status is considered high) of why people get involved with someone is physical attraction, and the latter tends to be more important on the male side than the female side. Is it the only reason? No. It's a holistic decision that involves a lot of different factors.

You are right. When you are someone like Aikman, you get the pick of the litter, can give the woman a ton of money, clothes, big house etc. All you ask is that she keep herself in great shape and looking good.

Of course. He's Troy Freaking Aikman. There's a reason Tony put a ring on Candice. He must've heard about this coming down the line.

tony heard that troy is dumping his wife so he can date candice?? uhhhhhh....ok.

Aikman's finally ditching the beard. :laugh2:

I kid, I kid.

It's probably because he now has 3 daughters, and he blames her for not giving him a son who he can groom to be the next Aikman HOF QB. :laugh1:

Beard?? I haven't seen him wearing a beard, is this a recent development?

Or am I missing something?

Finally he and Sandra Bullock can hook up.

Too soon?

 

[bbgun]

I think his wife is 45; too young to let yourself go.

too soon IMO. she's recently divorced from that dirtbag jesse james & is probably very busy taking care of her absolutely adorable son louis. besides i think she & ryan reynolds would make a really awesome couple.

I have an absolute passion for the institution marriage, .. I wish every marriage was forever.

I hate to see that Aikman and his wife are getting a divorce.

I wish no relationship ended in divorce.

But this is a throw-away society, (cars, cell-phones, clothes, toys, etc.) and society has convinced us that instead of working harder, each one sacrificing of themself a little extra, and making it work, .. just throw it away, get a divorce and go get another one.

What a shame.

I sure feel bad for the 3 little girls that they have had together. Their little world has been turned upside down. No more Daddy to climb up on his lap to watch TV, no more Daddy to run to when you are scared or hear a noise in the night, no more Daddy to jump in bed with on Saturday morning. They only see Daddy on weekends, or whenever. Christmas morning will probably never be the same. On and on.

There was a reason those two fell in love, got married, had children and started a family together. They need to find that reason again.

I feel bad for the girls, but I also feel bad for both of them because they will never know that great feeling when you look at each other and realize we have been here for each other through the thick and the thin, the good and the bad, for 10yrs, 15 yrs, 20, 25.

That is commitment.

Every person and every couple go through different seasons in their life or their marriage. It is not wonderful all of the time. But since you vowed in front of family, friends and God to stick together through think and thin, for better or worse, there are times/seasons that you have to work harder. Not quit because it is easier or seems like it would be better.

But it takes two to do these things, ... if one does and the other does not, it willl not work as well.

I just hate divorce and wish every marriage could be happy. I think we have made it too easy to just give up and move on.

Yea, you're right, .. not a good idea.

this 1000%
lets not kid ourselves, children suffer badly when parents divorce

 

[WV Cowboy]

I don't mean to sound superficial or anything, but unless his wife has a medical condition or what not, there is no reason she should have let that much weight be put on her ...

Sooo, .. thanks for tearing your body up three times, getting big and then back three times, and all of the hormonal changes associated with giving me three children, but you're looking at little heavy these days, ... so sorry, but I'm outta here.



I certainly hope there was way more to this split than something that small.

I still believe it has something to do with his committments to Fox...trying to be the best at it.

You'd want to believe that since she worked in the NFL, she would know about those committments.

Troy doesn't strike me as one of those guys who veer into the realm of infidelity. You never know though.

I never said it was for that reason. It might have been for it. It might have been for more, less, or other reasons.

I was making a general statement. There is no reason for a woman who was as fit as she was, to remain twice the size she was originally after she's done having kids unless she has a medical condition, if she's Troy Aikman's (or another of considerable status) wife.

Any man who says they would expect less (unless they have a thing for larger women or are gay) if they were in the same position is fooling themselves.

 

[Stautner]

Thats probably all absolutely true about why people grow apart. But it's not good, for anyone, for people to stay together simply to stay together and not get divorced. It's a terrible idea that doesn't work for either of the people involved and certainly isn't good for the children involved either.

I agree that it isn't good to stay together and fight, I'm just saying there are no "good reasons" for getting to the point that divorce is necessary.

 

[kristie]

divorce sucks.

 

[burmafrd]

Just like when your offensive guard gets fat and can no longer perform,
Troy cut his overweight non performing wife. Sounds reasonable.

So, should good looking chicks leave their husbands when they go bald or add a paunch or just if some handsome stud winks at them?

Is it really all about superficial looks?

Is there any place for personality, intelligence, wisdom, hard working dedication, loyalty or any other desirable personal traits or is looks everything? If so, should any man marry anyone but supermodels and trade them in every year like cars?

I think we are becoming a very superficial society. Those who think that appearance is superior to substance have a rude awakening coming.

Or, should I say rued?

My wife may not be as pretty as she once was but I wouldn't trade her for any one else I can think of, especially some idiot chick who thinks looks are more imortant than substance.

JMO, do whatever turns you on.

I'm sure your old lady loves the fact you told everyone she isn't as pretty as she once was.

 

[CanadianCowboysFan]

I do have to say though that in my almost 19 years of practice, not one client has come in and said he/she is getting a divorce because spouse let themselves go. People tend to divorce over money/children issues/problems or sexual issues. No one ever says it is because husband or wife got fat.

The naive belief that it is too easy to get divorced is quite funny. People don't wake up and say they want a divorce. it is a long process, often taking years.

Great for those who have worked through their problems and not gotten divorced, but don't look down your nose at those who do divorce. They might actually be happier than you or hell, maybe they just had the courage to divorce which many simply do not.
