Giselle is the top dog of her profession

And I'm sure that many men, both here and elsewhere, think they've done much better than Giselle in their lifetimes.

Yes. Agreed. Love is blind.

This year is going to be a very telling one for Brady. I am not going to judge him based on his first year back following a bad injury.

As for why he stays out west, I admit I am only speculating but I would bet it has more to do with his wanting to be with his son (the one he had with Moynihan) than any insecurities he may have about Giselle's fidelity.

It might possibly have to do with the fact that that's where he's originally from!

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. If someone says that he thinks Giselle is hot, that's his call. If someone thinks she's ugly to the bone, that's his call too.

Sure it is. But it is often the case that they're being disingenuous because of their own insecurity, as if acknowledging that someone has a better looking woman is going to ruin their world.

And I'm sure that many men, both here and elsewhere, think they've done much better than Giselle in their lifetimes.

There are a lot of men that probably say that to their women, and a few may even think it, but if we sought out honest responses, we'd probably find that it's not a majority.

I guess I've seen the flip side of this too often on boards in which I've met the participants in person, and can clearly tell that insecurity plays a large role in degrading attractive women.

Pahleeese, it couldn't be that simple...

They say women are catty drama queens. This message board is living proof men are too...

Brady has had two serious long term relationships in the last decade. One didn't lead where at least one if not both of them possibly intended. But it resulted in a child they now amicably share custody of. Bridget however is the custodial parent. Visitation hinges on her comfort level. She's an actress by trade and it's logical for her to live in LA or NY. I think she ceded the East Coast to Giselle early on. She is now less uncomfortable with being in the same area code and is willing to do what is best for her son. So too it seems is Giselle, much to her credit. Who also seems willing to do what is best for Tom and her family. They live here several months during football season. She delivered his second son in a bathtub in their Back Bay condo in Boston in season...That she supports his career and is secure enough to support his parenting of his son with Bridget probably has as much to do with what Tom saw in her as what men in general see in her.

Off season is when she will continue to persue her own scaled back but still very lucrative career, and that just happens to coincide with when she and Tom and their son will spend the most quality time with his older son in LA. They will be back here full time in July when TC opens. They will remain here hopefully until sometime in February. When he needs to be here in the offseason, he will commute. When he can't be here he will work out in LA or wherever he happens to be. Sounds like a plan to me...

In exchange for being reasonable you get reasonable in return. Jack gets to visit in season on a limited basis. His maternal grandparents after all live in East Longmeadow...

This isn't nuclear physics. It's just life. Football is an important part of Tom's, but it's not the only important part.

I'm sure those men exist. I don't know anyone who's demonstrated this particular trait.

I can't speak for all men. I, personally, have no problem telling "my women" if I think someone else is more beautiful.

We've apparently had different life experiences when it comes to this. I've not found that to be a prevalent thing. I do think mean idealize and compartmentalize, but that's not the same thing.

Whoa! They might not say it, but I'm guessing the women in your life feel a little sad from that.
