I'm with Giselle. I hate her but she has every right to be angry - she is angry for all the right reasons. She misses her husband, her kids need a dad and she can't be the one raising her family on her own indefinitely. Whether they have help or not, he's off playing games at age 45. He's had his opportunities - he needs to let go. Nevermind, he could get injured - there's always that potential.

However, I think she's SOL in terms of changing the situation. I mean, do you really leave your husband - the father of your kids for this? All things being equal, other than him choosing to do what he loves, is he really a bad guy and is she really ready to break up her family and surely, as he is likely going to retire in a few years, is it worth throwing her life with him completely away over 2-3 years of more sacrifice when she's been sacrificing for so many years already?

So really what are her choices - continue being angry at him or resolve that no matter how angry she is - he's going to do what he wants to do. And if so, is that enough to leave him? If it were just her but the kids. That would be the biggest reason to stay. I think on some level he knows this about her so he knows he's going to be able to get away with this decision. I think it does suck for her and I feel bad for her in this situation. I also think that it's something men are more likely to do over women especially in the world of sports.

Once a woman makes up her mind - that's it. And the other thing is, men can actually get away with it because the mom is really the glue that holds a family together. As a mom, Serena isn't going to return. Kim Clijsters could not return. Jordan, Tom, as a dad, you don't have the same responsibilities as a mom.

Is he gonna be a 70 something year old football player with a walker? That's where this is going.

Are you a Jets or a Falcon fan?

Okay, but she's Gisele. If he didn't want high maintenance, perhaps he shouldn't have married the most beautiful and successful model in the world.

He loves football and winning so it's his life. Asking a man to stop going to work when he loves his job is not always the right thing to do. Unless the job is making his health go down.
Plus, when he wins, he brings in alot of mullah that she is enjoying. Who brings in more money? Him or her?
A man can't have nothing to do. Same with woman but some might just get offended if I say that. Some will be offended if I say- it either way.
Ask 10 men if they can just sit around and do nothing for more than a few months. Not participating in society, not working, not doing something they like. Maybe Brady doesn't have any other skills to enjoy as a hobby. Football is his hobby. Boating? People need to be doing something. Some people build their deck, write a book, go biking, hiking, diving, camping, gardening. He doesn't do those things. He pays people to do all that.

Thanks for offering the caveman perspective.

Gisele has more money than him. She doesn't need his money to enjoy.

Having said that, I see your second point, though he does play golf, like every other pro athlete.

He has been building a business outside of football for quite some time ...TB12 and his clothing line. It is not like he hasn't been planning for the day he will not play football.

Not sure I'm Team Gisele or Team Tom ... but kids are only kids for so long and I can understand the argument that he is missing out or may not be present enough at this stage of their lives.

1. Who brings in more money? I’d imagine her since she’s wealthier than he is.
2. And this job very well is making his health go down. I had a friend in college who played D1 football and killed himself. His family donated his brain and even he, playing at a much lower level and decades younger had signs of CTE when they examined his brain.

Giselle.

True but I am not sure that’s relevant…

They're both used to getting their way without much resistance from others.

Yeah, when you're that successful, everyone just defers to you and you call all the shots. You get used to it.
