Good observation. Also, I think Rush is a very shy guy who obviously has had some major problems that his wife may not have been able to deal with. He might want to think about moving closer to family and friends, but he seems to love it in Fla.

Florida has no state income tax.....I'm sure it's one of the main reasons he relocated here. Plus Marta wanted to be here too, rather than NYC.

Try turning that around: She married a fat addict, and now Rush is a normal-sized, non-addicted guy. In other words, he got less dependent on her. That can be a big problem for some people, who want YOUR life to revolve around them. Not saying that's what happened, but it's just as plausible as your scenario. What if she was involved in getting him the drugs? Or even convincing him to start?

Having been a rock drummer for 10 years, I can tell you that there are a lot of people who only love you when you're high, or "happenin'." Once you become a normal, non-addicted married guy, suddenly you aren't "exciting" any more. Not that that ever happened to moi :)

Some people aren't meant to be married. He had no children.

Are those two things supposed to go together?

A *real* marriage changes people for the better, if they let it. No matter who it is. If you're unwilling to change, yes, I agree, you shouldn't be married.

When rush first started at Wabc he was fresh, innovative and iconoclastic...and that made his preachiness forgivable.
over the years he's become a totally predicitable republican apparatchik...with totally predictable opinions,
almost scripted.

no, he was never about just "politics"...he was about values, or so he said. seems he doesn't practice what he preached.

None of this should be surprising...he started out as a sportscaster and found a more lucrative melieu. "IT WAS
JUST BUSINESS"

having said this, let me admit his song parodies were GREAT!

And perhaps a woman [MArta] may have some psychological issues which may preclude a successful marriage to a famous person such as Rush.

They usually tend to find each other.

He likely only announced it because it had already leaked---probably was in the legal works for weeks, if not months---and he didn't want the word coming from someone else.

Thanks for the tip. We don't have cats, but apparently a lot of the females he's been running into, even at work, have them, and he's starting to react quicker and more strongly. He used to have a little reaction if he was in a house with them, now it's if someone has cat hair on their clothing.

He doesn't see what Rush sees in his cats.

Divorce really should be illegal.How can we expect others to respect boundaries when all we can say about a Conservative getting divorced is that it's sad?

There are times when it is necessary as well as sad. We aren't usually privvy to the details, which is as it should be.

I do remember his saying years ago that Marta did NOT cook at all.

Marta may not be able to cook but I bet she can write a book about her life with Rush.

I wonder the title of Marta's book will be?

I will remind her about it today, for Father's Day.

Don't remind - set up a romantic date and ask her what she thought about it. If she hasn't read it then just express your PATIENT desire that she read it...maybe you could both read it together and discuss. Discussion and communication is always good, if it's honest and tactful.

happy people don't become junkies.

He had a back problem for which he was prescribed the addictive drug. That's how it started.

According to the pre-nup, Marta gets the necktie business.

There are at least two reasons why Marta will not write a book:

"Last I heard she was a health nut and exercise nut."

I am certain that Marta was responsible for slimming Rush down. She hired a cook who made low-carb (I think that was the approach) meals and made sure that Rush stuck to the regimen. So, he does owe her a debt.

One thing about being married to a man with a career like Rush's is that you have to be prepared to be a true caretaker. You have to meet his needs and create an atmosphere that allows him to relax in his private life, take care of his wardrobe and his other possessions, make sure that he is surrounded by the things he likes (favorite brands of items, etc), and provide activities he likes to do in his time off. You also have to keep yourself looking nice so you can socialize with his friends and make the occasional appearance with him. It's a calling, of sorts, and it takes real dedication.

Perhaps it's not something a lot of women want to do with their lives.
