Quoted message said:I tell you what's sad.
The fact that a grown man can't work out a few small things with his
wife without getting a divorce is sad.
Who are you to say they were small things? Small things to one person
are major things to another. That is a major reason for divorce.
Quoted message said:Unfortunately instead of deciding that enough was enough and it was
time to spend more time with his family and children, he chose to force
them all to travel arounfd the world just to see their husband/father on
a regular basis.
What's wrong with a little travel? It's not like they are going to slum
it at theri destination. You know they will have a nice hotel to spend
time in. I'm sure they could afford to get someone to travel with mom
and the kids to help out.
Quoted message said:To be perfectly honest the guy had nothing more to prove after his
first tour yellow jersey and was already a very wealthy man.
Unfortunately it's not enough for him and he must continue to build his
persona with more wins, more money, more organisations bearing his name.
What a stupid statement. It's about as smart as saying 'I reached all
my goals so I am just going to lay down and die'. Once you reach your
goals you set new ones. That is what makes life interesting.
Quoted message said:The very fact theat he would have his family in photos with him and
bandied around in public is also another image building job and
obviously nothing to do with having a happy family, otherwise he would
have a happy family and wouldn't need to constantly gratify himself.
Your opinion, nothing more.
Quoted message said:There's nothing wrong with pursuing the win. But Armstrong has chosen
to do so time and time again at the expense of the woman he fell in
love with and his own children.
How can you be sure it was his training that killed the relationship?
Also, if that was the case, what did she expect from a pro racer? That's
his job.
Quoted message said:That say's more about Armstron than it does about his former wife who
would rather ensure their children have a stable home life as they head
towards school age.
What's the big deal? The TDF is during summer break, so the kids would not
be missing school.
