He gets a younger, hotter wife that his ex-wife would be attracted to as well? I call that a win/win.
Elizabeth Gilbert represents everything that’s wrong with women today.
I couldn’t make it through “Eat, Pray, Love” all the way, but I read the early part where she dumps her husband basically because she has become bored with him.
I can understand ending a marriage over alcoholism, abuse, abandonment or adultery.
But boredom? Of course, these “inspiring” divorce stories always sugar-coat things. “I needed space,” “I needed to find myself,” or the ever-popular “I wasn’t happy.”
Someone like Elizabeth Gilbert is too shallow to realize that happiness comes — if at all — relatively late in life when you can look back and say “I honored the commitments I made. I didn’t betray my nearest and dearest, and I never took advantage of someone weaker than me.”
At 59, and as one of the last Old-School Bachelors, I thank God I never got mixed up with a woman as fickle and scatter-brained as Elizabeth Gilbert.
