I agree, he's a dork and most people won't dispute that..but he is a MARRIED dork now.

Also agree with a prior poster who commented about the silly "rules" MZs wife made him agree to when dating. It was in a NY Times article, and she demanded their dates last exactly 100 minutes once a week. Nothing more, nothing less. Most guys would have said, "ok see ya. Later!!" but MZ ends up marrying her, so clearly her ploy worked!

Yeah, its called he got a taste of vajayjay for the first time in his life, and now this woman owns his soul, knowing life. As such, he is a broke married dork and his wife is worth a 100 bil. I can see nothing but bright future for this couple!

I never said that inanimate objects can love anyone. This entire time, I have repeatedly stated that HOBBIES can deliver reciprocal love. OTHERS honed in on the objective, inanimate video game cartridge/dvd facet of it. I have stated repeatedly that a hobby, meaning an activity in its entirety not just the equipment used in that activity, can reciprocate love to its participant. Answer me this: If your spouse were incapable of speaking or moving (paralyzed), how would you know he/she still loved you presently? I mean, he or she would certainly be inanimate, so that would render any presumed love null right?

Are you really equating an inanimate object like a video game remote controller to a LIVE, HUMAN BEING???? Are you serious??? For real ??? OMG..

The comparison is apples and oranges. Hobbies can NOT reciprocate love, all the can do is PROVIDE you with enjoyment or pleasure. When you are angry and want to argue, will a video game suddenly jump off the table and smack you???

I think that for one to tether their success solely to one other person is misleading, in the sense that anyone who supplies extra help, extra money, extra resources, or extra time, would be a huge benefactor to anyone who needed more of those things; whether in a relationship with that person or merely a stranger on the street.
Do you think that, in a "power couple," one person must be tethering their success solely to the other? Is it possible to have an equal partnership where one person is successful alone, but even better with their partner? Do you think one person must have the majority power or serve as the benefactor in a relationship?

Only a truly selfish and out of touch person feels like doing something or spending time in the pursuit or support of a loved one's happiness is a chore or an infringement of personal liberty.

I LOVE doing things for my family. I ADORE spending time with my wife.
I honestly cannot think of any single more fulfilling thing I could do with my time than further the happiness of my family.

That's not a good analogy to support your argument. If that's what a LTR is like I'll stick with gaming.

And if both had a role you can guess who ends up winning after the divorce. Hint: the one who came into marriage without a penny but left with billions.

Could it be that he got the “first vagina syndrome” or whatever it is called? Where a young guy gets a taste of it for the first time and then his soul is owned by that girl. If it is true that she had those roles and he crawled behind her following those rules then I won’t be surprised if she’s another woman who married a rich man with a contract before getting married on how much allowance he should give her, how often he should buy her a new car, etc. I think as bad for the guys who end up signing those contracts.

I am not sure if it's the greatest idea for a young billionaire to marry young without first being exposed to the world a little longer.

What if there are no "loved ones"? You have the right to that if you don't have a SO or children.

Agree... I am so much better with my SO and we have equal power. We are both the benefactors of the relationship. It's almost like some of these posters have never seen a relationship like this. We want to spend every waking moment together which is why we've adjusted our careers/lifestyle so that we can work together every day.

I understand that others do not need/want reciprocal love, but there are still many benefits to those who have it.
