It seems like he used to be hella broke, and his wife was with him during that time. As soon as he hit it big he dropped her. What a guy.
He had been getting paying gigs since the mid 90s. They were married in 1995 and divorced in 2008, so I'd say that you're being a tad intellectually dishonest trying to slant it this way.
Plus, I'm sure she's getting a nice alimony check every month + loads of child support.
If you aren't a fan, that's totally fine, but don't make things up to justify your feelings towards the guy.

(Maybe she was an abusive piece of sh*t or something, and he left when he knew he could finally support himself. I wouldn't blame anyone for doing that, if such were the case) LOL

They even had a pretty tense conversation over what something that seemed really minor (he forgot to give his daughter her backpack after he dropped her off at school one time) on a podcast and he was just caving into her for no reason, it was demoralising.
This sounds interesting. Where can I find this?
Edit: Nevermind. Found it. Seemed like a fairly innocuous incident to me; and not all that tense.

True. She may not have been putting it out there, but she was married to a comic and that is what they do so I don't think that is a fair comparison. However, if it were to regular people, then if one party was airing their dirty laundry then that person would and/or should be subject to condemnation.

and yet she wasn't the one putting their personal business out there..
Well, she knew he was doing a podcast, he told her as they were on the phone and that didn't stop her badgering him about a problem that was being solved
as they spoke
.

and he was just caving into her for no reason, it was demoralising.

But the way he talked about the kids and her in his earlier specials probably didn't help either.
Thank you.

Listening to his stand-up about the crumbling of the relationship, it seemed like
she
had had enough of
him
(not wanting to have sex any more, for example). "I love my wife, but she fvcking hates me, HATES me", "I'm never getting laid again, I know that now".

You're not a female by chance are you, Jupiter?
I guess you just think you have to side with your gender? What if Schumer had a "starter husband" before hitting it big, talked trash on him constantly in her comedy bit, and then divorced right around the time she hit it big..? Would you and other guys not rightfully point out that that indicates her being a s//t person?
I don't see gender, I see facts.

You make a lot of sense. I hate the trolls on here, lm constantly bothered. That guy had no reason to tell you that, you definitely make sense. His bits about family are certainly mostly true. People are people, they cant just make a ton of beep up, some might be an exagerration but must of it is true.
Oh what a day. What a lovely day!

Yeah I used to think that too. I assumed he was just kidding in his bits about his wifeuntil I read that they actually divorced in the real world. Then s//t got real.. I don't think it was a coincidence that he said all that crap about how unhappy he was and then happened to get divorced. I also don't think it was a coincidence that the divorce occurred after he got successful. Just sayin.
