Successful Billy Billy, onye Nku na ala chineke di nso,doings get levels, gates na big boy oooo no doubt..Goodbye ��

Enjoy your money and live lavish.

You constantly been on forbes list on no one can take that away from you.

you've done your part and if you die today, you die a fulfilled man.

It is what it is.

I can understand what bill did

I have a friend who did this too. He is married but have a female colleague he normally hangs out with. They both share the same disposition, see things from the same angle especially on business issues. If he has any business idea, he runs it through her. She is like his sounding board and business adviser but they are not intimate. They have been on this since 2018.

I don't judge him. It is what he feels works for him.

I won’t even be married if I’m as rich as Bill Gates. It’s a fucking abnormality for someone that rich to be tied to one lousy lady forever. What’s the point of having all the money if he can’t flex any lady that comes his way because of marital commitment?

I congratulate him on his freedom. Now, he can flex his money as much as he wants.

Go and read about semen retention. If you can't waste money, you shouldn't waste your sexual power. It's the greatest source of energy you have as a man

The article didn't say if they cheated or not thus my first question. I also don't subscribe to the idea of people cutting off friends after marriage. But my comment is based on the fact this is a privilege only the men get to enjoy. If it were the woman who was jetting around with her ex, people won't be here talking about inspiration and stuff. She would have been labeled a cheat outrightly. In fact, a typical Nigerian man wouldn't even want his lady to have any male friend let alone spend quality time with an ex. We're only making these exceptions and remembering inspiration cause the spotlight is on the man.

Except a typical Nigeria woman will prefer to keep it a secret, and everyone only discover with a big bang! So tell me, wouldn't you assume they were cheating if it was done in secret?

According to the writeup, the wife not only knew but it was part of the agreement before marriage, would you agree to do that? Wouldn't you assume that will give the man the leverage to cheat? You think too much about the idea but forget the why and how!

That my friend is the most important thing here, why they decide to keep the friendship and how (not secretly)

Lol. They would condemn polygamy in the public and turn 180° to practise it secretly. To many of them, polygamy is evil but they still engage in it one way or another.
To all pro monogamy who demonise polygamy but still indulge in it secretly, thunder fire your yansh.

The more intelligent and rational you are the more crazy you appear to the commoners.

This happens when your made your wife girlfriend and girlfriend wife...

He had need to correct it....never too late to act.

Well said.. It was a mutual understanding but Melinda seems to get tired of that closeness even after their agreement over the years.
Guess jealousy is part of human.

ekineme:


You don't get the point, From the write up, you can deduce that ''Bill'' draws inspiration from that lady, though he loves his wife but the ideas, motivation and feeling of sharing your dreams with someone of ''like-minded'' can never be traded for anything.

Do they indulge in adultery? The write up didn't state that, so it's wrong to assume they did.

The wife is aware of this friendship, she is ok with it, The said lady was part of his greatness.

I hate it when people throw away years of friendship because they want to please a very insecure fellow.

For me the code is simple; respect and honor your wife and the holy matrimony but don't trade your friends for anything.

make money ooo. e get why...

DWJOBScom:
No evidence of cheating except spending quality and productive time with her.

Why marry someone when you cant spend time with them I have always known something was wrong looking at both of them. They were too busy taking different pictures all around the world alone and running the foundation.
Bill Gates never misses an opportunity to travel or spend time away from his house in a quiet resort or his expensive yacht *alone

It is still cheating....
It mustnt be sexual for it to be considered cheating

You spelt out my points clearly
He is a billionaire hence the concession he is getting from everyone who thinks it's okay to have a private somebody you draw inspiration from that keeps you away from your wife enough to even seek permission to marry her o.
Look at his ex copartner - Paul Allen, never married till death. Very horrible situation and nasty lesson someone may want to adopt

arantess:

I agree o
So we can conclude that spending time away from the house with a special somebori is a cheating kwo??

You jet around the world with an ex girlfriend and even sometimes went to isolated and secluded places all the time while you're still married to your wife and still have audacity to shamelessly tag your wife an insecured fellow ! Some of you are simply amazing at justifying rubbish!

And the wife was so happy with it?
If another Nigerian wife should share such relationship with her pastor for instance then you will find nairaland.com filled with pastor bashers and lady bashers

The most important things is that Bill Gate pricck is still working.. !!

Harddiskng:
She said there was a “negotiation” then she went ahead to tell us what Bill gate got from it and failed to tell us what she got from it in turn lool.

Watch her fight frantically in the next few months, insinuating anything to demonize Bill Gate just to justify why she deserves half of his fortune; so one weekend getaway (once a year) is the problem after 27 yrs?

Bill should have just married Ann Winblad, sigh even that best of us make lifelong mistakes; it was clear she was his muse.

It depends on whether there is prenuptial agreement or not. If not, then court decides for them. I wouldn't blame her, if not that Oyinbos are crazy, don't know any black woman who would agree to that. But again, money is involved

So bill was once a bad boy

WoundedLamb:
Was he cheating or not?

Meanwhile, see them above always quick to justify any shit from men. Imagine if the woman was the one jetting around with her ex here. It would have been "women! They can never be trusted". Sense of objectivity has been eroded by sexism.

Go back and read again but this time in slow motion.

There was no cheating! What language did you understand??

can you swear on your life?


Never forget this , "you only see what your eyes want you to see". If I decide to be discreet,it will only take a smart spy to find me out.

The write up is not talking about adultery.

Its because women must do their women thing, if you know, you know

If it was revealed in 1997 why is it an issue now?

Do they travel together alone to private resorts ??
Spend nights together watching a movie, hangout with mutual friends (of both of them)??
I don't understand

Let's be sincere would you let your wife go on a trip every year with a particular ex in the name of drawing inspiration? I bet no African man would do that, is easy to dish out opinion/advice when we are at the other side of the table. If they had so much alike why didn't they get married?


Look at all the men calling him a bad boy, if it was the other way round. Oh, she is cheating, women can not be trusted, etc.

There is nothing wrong with fuçking another pussy once in a while even if you're married

Lol, even the partners of serial killers are shocked when bodies are discovered in their shed.
