Actually, on this third one I'm betting the drug dependency had to have been a factor too.

From many years ago I remember his saying flat-out that he didn't think he'd be any good as a father. Over the years I suspect part of that is because he would always be measuring himself against his own father. But then there <i>are</i> other possible reasons, as has been pointed out here...

Anyhoo, I don't believe Rush was meant for marriage. Celebs make and break marriages daily, why should he be different? /scrawlville.com It could be because of the whole drug ordeal, he did hide it from her, that in itself could have caused a lot of mistrust.

I have an uncle who married four times, but that fourth marriage has been in place for decades. My father is on his third wife, and for his bride he is the fourth husband. So while I wouldn't care for the "revolving door" system for myself, it seems that some people learn how to do this by doing it: there are "practice" marriages.

I'm a card-carrying Republican, in actuality. My sarcastic comment was pure female. And no, I'm no feminist either. jay, it's funny that you would assume that I'm a liberal from my sarcastic comment.

There's no hypocrisy in admitting defeat. Actually, I know from experience it's quite painful. If Rush were to amend his values to rationalize his divorces, I would consider that hypocrisy. But he is honest and brave and faces his weaknesses head on. I admire that in a human being. Better to strive for ideals and fall short than have no ideals at all.

Combine those issues with wealth, celebrity and drug/health issues,it's a wonder the marriage lasted this long, and I'm a Rush fan.

The fact that second+ marriages have such a high divorce rate, everyone should be more careful when selecting a first spouse and, then, stay committed and work on the marriage. Marriage is serious business so when we date we should stop dating someone as soon as we realize that the person is not marriage material. The reason for dating is finding a good spouse; dating is the real pre-marital activity. No one should be happy when anyone's marriage fails.

Doesn't the split go better then? Meaning she gets more of his stuff. Don't really know how florida works. Funny that it lasted exactly 10 years. Doesn't the split go better then?
