Very sad.
Kinda makes me think about the "Facing Nolan Ryan" documentary on Netflix and how kinda-sorta similar - but different their situations are/were.
Ryan pitched till he was 45. His wife of 53 years, Ruth (extremely competitive in her own right) supported him every step of the way never gave him **** for pitching to his advanced (professional) age- even though she saw him soaking his elbow, shoulder surgery, going to chiro, etc.
I'm sure they had problems (as all married couples do) but plowed through them.
I believe she was content being a stay at home mom but also had her own identity (foundations, etc). She was OK with her husband doing what he loved no matter what he did to his body. Plus he was still damn good.
Not sure what Gisele's issue is. It's not like she gave up her modeling career for him. She was past her prime and was/is still building her empire. She hasn't stopped that b/c of Tom's career.
Is it fair of her to ask Tom to give up something he loves just because she wants him the "be present more"? I don't think so. It's not like hes an alchie or has a gambling habit.
Ruth Ryan didn't ask that of her husband.
Hopefully Tom and Gis can reconcile but without knowing anything about them seems like a long shot.
