No strings attached

*study break*

I am currently following a mainland male celebrity after watching a drama that I love love love. He's so good at keeping my interest because of his long career in the entertainment business and his harsh path to success. He endured so much in his life that it makes me think... man is this real?

He started his career at the age of 18-19 during the late 1980's so he had always been under the spotlight. He had to pay off his father's debt for about 10 years so it must've been a pretty big amount of money (that's about in 2001). Then he meet his ex-wife, and broke up in ~2007, and gave her all his money.

What I don't understand here is why would he give his ex-wife all of his money? I mean she had another man while they were still married. Why would anyone give their whole fortune for someone who cheated on them?

But after a small talk with my mom, I finally understood. Yes, the one who cheated was at fault but the breaking marriage was the result of two people. You cant say that the other one had nothing to do because he was lacking the time to spend on his wife, ok yes doesnt mean that she can cheat but you cant say that he was completely right either in this case. When a relationship ends you cannot always put the blame on one party cuz both have problems.

Sometimes i think that all problems could be resolved if the couple communicated. Women have strong 6th senses but they just choose to ignore the problem when they sense one. This lack of communication is what ultimatly destroys the relationship. So women, speak up when u sense a problem cuz ure probably right.

Ok back to my idol. I think he choose to give everything because whether he was the problem or not, he just wanted to cut all the strings. When you give up all ur fortune and signs the paper its like if you let all the things attached with this girl go. You dont owe her anything in your life anymore. 好瀟灑地離開這段感情。

How many people could be like him? To just let go everything because he wants nothing to do with her anymore? I'll honestly say that I cant, I will not give up all my hard earned money to a cheating husband because I'll probably hold this grudge for an entire life.

But hes a celebrity after all, maybe he gave up everything for the good press too. Or because money does not have a big value to him anyways since he spent 10 years repaying his father's debts, he's probably numb. Anyhow, starting from 0 again and living a new life is not a bad thing, at least he learnt to let go which a lot of people will probably never be able to do.
