What a ridiculous conclusion.

2019 is when .Melinda found out about Bill's friendship with Epstein. I would divorce my DH if he ha ever spent time with Jeffrey Epstein!

This. The Epstein stuff came out. If they were having other issues, that would be it for me.

She could never forgive him for killing Clippy.

They were driving each other crazy during quarantine over the last year when they were forced to spend a lot of time together. They bought an oceanside house near San Diego (Del Mar) last year so they could be apart. They've had issues for a long time but the pandemic and their youngest leaving for college tipped them over the edge.

If it's all over politics then it's totally dumb. I hope there is another reason, just for the sake of not thinking so low of them.

Apparently this goes much further back. So likely not about politics.

Bingo. This is such obvious PR smear. I think she's divorcing him so she gets all the billions before he dies with it 99% of it wedded to the non-profit and philanthropy.

Washington State is community property. So ... seems unlikely.

I detested Gates years ago when he drove so many young entrepreneurs into the ground by promising to bundle their products into MS but just bought their IP and ignored them. Detested his anticompetitive manipulation of his monopoly in hard ware (from picking up IBM IP not his own innovation) and using that to carve out a monopoly in software. Completely ruthless businessman. Now Apple is almost as bad (thank you antitrust laws for protecting healthy competition to some degree).

Bill only became somewhat acceptable to me after he married Melinda and launched his wonderful humanitarian invitations around the world. Many poor people benefitted. I hope that they both remain committed to using their wealth to do good.

All this. It’s been so long we all forget about all the great software companies developing in the late 80s and through the 90s that he crushed.

If Epstein thing is true, she should have divorced him then. I wonder why she didn't?
In any case, seems that all men are scum, so she should fleece him for half or more if possible.
Don't' settle for a few billions, Mel! Make us women proud and become the richest woman in the world!

Epstein thing?
She disapproved of his decision to associate with him and therefore lend him credibility.
I don’t think we will find out Bill was involved with underage girls.
It seems like she got tired of it not being a partnership
She waited till the kids were grown.
I don’t understand why some of you are so confused about the timing.

Really? The last few years thought you... nothing?
Powerful men seem to use little girls for sex and discard them like trash. I would not be surprised at all. In fact, I think an investigation is in order.
What are you basing your opinion that he was not involved in age "appropriate" cheating or having sex with underage girls or boys.
