Sorry for bumping this but I came across something morbidly interesting.
No reason to be sorry, this is not only morbidly interesting, but a good lesson or a cause for relief for us now that we know better.
His wife had him trapped in a prison of dependency, oneitis and probably some kind of emotional abuse.
To my mind, it's no good blaming the wife for having him 'trapped in a prison of dependency, oneitis and probably some kind of emotional abuse'. He was a grown man, who needed to take responsibility for himself and the choices he made throughout his relationship.
There's a lot on the manosphere, and on RoK recently, that seems to 'blame' women for being women, and be profoundly negative about them in general. Whilst there is no doubt that many of them are obsessed with the trivial and banal, in between their rides on the carousel, it seems pointless to me to rail against something that is, by definition, beyond our control.
If we accept that as men the world is ours to make of it what we will, that our lives and our talents are our own, to refine and channel to achieve whatever ends we wish for, then part of that must surely involve accountability for the things that go wrong.
In the case in question, I have no idea about the girl, whether she is a tramp or a saint (although I could probably safely guess). The point is, that as a good looking, talented, successful guy, he still failed to retain her. There's a lot of talk thrown around about 'hypergamy', but really what it seems to boil down to in my experience is that chicks will seek, where possible, to do better. It's not actually that different from men, except in the way they go about it, which is alien to us, and our idea of achieving through our own efforts. If you want to attract high quality (looks, personality, however you define it) women, and people in general, into your life as a man, then you need to ensure that you merit those relationships. There are plenty of girls, WITH HIGH QUALITY MEN, who would not jump into bed with diCaprio. They may see him as a high quality male, but would not trade the security, and genuine pleasure, of already being in a relationship with another top drawer bloke for a ride on Leo's dick. It's too simplistic to call her a whore for cheating. Especially as the dude she married has shown himself to be a little bitch, with his cry for help suicide attempt first time round, the passive aggression of which is unbecoming for any self-respecting man, and his ultimately successful efforts when he felt, despite his looks, talent and money, that he couldn't get his shit together. No sympathy for the guy, he seemed like a whiny little girl, don't blame her for being sick of it.
