But, relationships are very personal and private. It is very difficult to know enough details about the people involved and their relationship with one another to draw any real conclusions from the simple failure of a relationship.
- vanderZwan 14y ago> But, relationships are very personal and private. I'm not going to disagree on this being a private issue, but if we're talking about why billionaires do not share Elon Musk's personality, doesn't it make perfect sense to discuss things like this?
- travisp 14y agoI don't mean private in the sense that we shouldn't discuss them, I mean private in the sense that the actual details of the relationship occur in private and that we don't know them. It is very hard to judge a relationship from the outside because a lot of what goes on in a relationship is private: private conversations and communication, the way a person expresses love or likes to be shown that they are loved, the way romantic conflicts are handled, what initially attracted a couple to each other, minor quirks and eccentricities, pet peeves, sexual compatibility, changes in personality and values, and so on. I don't think we really know most of these things about Elon Musk's marriage, and I would be hesitant to draw broad conclusions without them.
