Yes, I know what gold digging is and mostly it is not when the gold digger describes it as themselves in an anecdote. If she was a gold digger she wouldn’t want the world to know it, she’d be busy broadcasting the goldnuggets. It’s easy to notice it because those people are usually extremely vulgar and simple minded.
It's not my cup of tea, but it also isn't America's messiest divorce.
And have lost a child (pre born), I don't understand why spouses should be convinced that the others way of coping is right or wrong. Choosing to be open about it is as valid as choosing not to be. It's a tough place. In our case, it was the opposite and I wanted to talk and my wife did not. Not everything is so clear on gender lines and I hate that everything has boiled down to this. It took me forever to realize that my wife's way of coping was fine, despite all the psych articles telling me it was wrong.
Statistically though, the vast majority of couples will divorce after this.

Sounds a lot like a story I heard some years back when Musk fired a Tesla engineer for disagreeing with him. It's a common tendency, even in a healthy marriage, to want to do this. But it also matches up with our stories I've heard about his micromanaging (distrusting) style of governance. Musk who grew up unable to trust his father. Perhaps this has colored good relationships with others ever since.
Maybe he'll do well with Twitter, maybe he won't. Either way I hope he learns that money isn't everything. That family is more important than impact.
This was written by Justine Musk a long while ago; I can't remember the date. She refers to Talulah Riley as Musk's new fiancé, but at present he has been married and divorced from the actress twice.
I would love to have a Musk filter on this site or articles about him being tagged in the title so I don't accidentaly click on them. I don't think he's interesting or genius.

But that's not what she said.
Then he took me to a bookstore and handed me his credit card. "Buy as many books as you want," he said. No man could have said anything sweeter.
It's not the credit card she liked, but the books, as she was an aspiring writer.
