Re: Player Lives and Random Gossip
From: (Anonymous)From my knowledge of what I've heard - the common arrangement seems to be - well, I can't stop him from going out and cheating, but I'm his main girlfriend, and I'm the one he admits to publicly. In return, they get a lot of carte blanche in deciding how things are going to be run at home, and the spending money to do it, and, most importantly, the promise that when the career's done, the cheating stops. This is for the women that know about the cheating, and tolerate it.
The pro athletes I've talked to, including hockey players, do not tolerate the same behavior from their partners.
The difference is that usually these guys only do it when they're away on the road, so the partner doesn't have to deal with it in her face, or to make sure she doesn't find out.
Re: Player Lives and Random Gossip
From: (Anonymous)I do remember hearing one anecdote about a certain basketballer and his wife's arrangement, where she'd give him specific permissions (e.g. allowed him two hook-ups of his choice during this stretch of road games, and so on) that would expand and contract with how they felt their relationship/career/general life was going on at the time. Not the sort of thing that would be decided during fights, but rather talking it out and making changes as fit. I thought that seemed a pretty tolerable compromise, as it gave her at least some power and control over his actions.

From: (Anonymous)I remember an interview with a retired player who was talking about how a lot of divorces occur after the player's career is over because the wife finally thinks that the cheating is going to stop (and because for the first time they actually are spending all their time together!), but it doesn't. I suppose there is a limit to what wives are willing to tolerate.
