That's what Chrissie does, loves em and leaves em. Connors, Gerulaitis, Lloyd, Burt Reynolds, Jack Ford; Andy Mill is just the latest. This shows that she's a normal person who falls in and out of love and unless we know the details, we won't know what exactly went wrong between her and Andy Mill.
Also, weren't Norman and Mill good friends before this happened?
She had to pay $7 million to Mill after the divorce... pretty costly to run off with another guy.
PAARL, South Africa (AP) -- Chris Evert and Greg Norman are engaged, less than a year after divorces from longtime spouses.
The couple got engaged Sunday night, said Tami Starr, director of Chris Evert Charities in Boca Raton, Fla.
"They're not sure of a wedding date yet," Starr said. "They're both extremely happy they've found each other."
Evert, who won 18 Grand Slam singles titles, wore a large diamond on her ring finger at a news conference Friday to announce a new tennis center at Pearl Valley Golf Estates, which is hosting the South African Open. Norman is playing in the tournament.
Evert and former husband Andy Mill, a World Cup and Olympic skier from Colorado, divorced last December after 18 years of marriage. The 52-year-old tennis great previously was married to British tennis player John Lloyd.
In September, Norman reached a multimillion-dollar divorce settlement with his wife of 26 years, Laura Andrassy. The 52-year-old Australian won the British Open in 1986 and 1993.
I think Chrissie should forgo the wedding and just buy Greg Norman a house somewhere.
that would be "to hell with both chrissie and greg norman". i don't care how infatuated you are, shouldn't your best friend's wife (or your husband's best friend) be off limits? whatever happened to self control?she left her husband (andy mill) for her husband's best friend (greg norman). to hell with both of them. hope andy mill scores a hot 25 year old after this.

Is this what happens when 50 becomes the new 30?
WIll Chrissie Evert become the new Liz Taylor?
Kidding, only half-kidding. Sad, unfortunate and selfish people.
I feel for their kids. What sort of an example are they setting for their kids?
...
"If you fear 'disobedience' on the part of your wife, (1) counsel her, admonish her; if this does not work, (2) do not share bed with her (sorry, no sex); if that does not work, (3) beat her lightly". ...
Honestly and frankly, I'm no authority on marriage. I would be curious to hear from someone qualified in the field. I feel this is largely cultural. Divorce rates are high here, so I'm not going to tell you we've got it perfect in the US. But we have wifebeaters here, too.
That 3 step plan might be wonderful for you. I'm sure your wife and daughter enjoy being managed in that way.
Me, I DO NOT FEAR DISOBEDIENCE ON THE PART OF MY WIFE. I think that is creepy, awful, lacking in love and humility (on the man's part), and just overall pretty weak (on the part of the man) and cowardly. You asked me to be honest.
My wife and I trust one another, have eachother's (and our family's) best interest in mind, and we let love rule our actions. Mutually, like a partnership, like a team, like two lovers united by God, together, we understand that our roles are different from eachother's, and we do our best, hand in hand, to live them well.
Naturally, we are human, and on a bad day, we might be disappointed with eachother, but disobediance and fear are really NEVER part of the equation. Love, communication, nurturing, compassion, humility, and sacrifice: yes. This is the example we strive to set for our child. Not fear of disobedience. Not anger. Not a pattern of one-way counseling. Not even a beating.
Where love is involved, people can live wonderfully and beautifully without need for violence, fear, intimidation and abuse.
As for the Quranic 3 stepper:
1) great.
2) no thanks. We never let the sun go down on our anger. We go to bed satisfied and in love. And usually pretty tired.
3) Sorrymate. Not part of the vocabulary. Would not want it to be. But that is easy for me to say, since I really love and respect my wife. She's the coolest, why would I want to counsel her? Why would I want to NOT make love to her? Why would I want to beat her?
I just want to love her, spend time with her and, raise our family together in love, peace and obedience to God/Yahweh/Allah. If I had a daughter, I would not want beatings to be part of her relationship with her husband. I would not want my mother, my sister, a female neighbor or friend to be beaten either.
If you, Chrissy and Andy, Chrissy and John Lloyd...Chrissy and the Shark do not have such a relationship, I feel for them. Maybe they need to come to counseling in Karachi or Islamabad so Greg can learn the ways of the Glorious Quran.
Back to Chrissy for a moment, I think Jimmy knew what he was getting into back in 74 when they were engaged. He got out. He's got to be feeling pretty lucky at this point.
... When I had a conflict with my wife in Kuwait back in 1998 I was not even aware that such a verse existed in Qur'an. We just exchanged couple of soft pushes and the conflict was resolved.
...
Did the soft pushes do the trick in resolving your conflict? Or was it love?
Mahboob, please can you clarify whether you would beat your wife, lightly or otherwise, if you fear disobedience. And please clarify "fear" - would this mean "suspect"?
Thanks
ok, I think I see the crux of the problems you've been having on this board recently. Misunderstanding. I am pleased that you said you didn't hit your wife and don't condone this behaviour. But your question to everyone was
"If Andy Mill had used the 3-step corrective mechanism that Islam has provided, don't you think both families would have been protected, and both Mrs. Norman, Andy Mill and their kids would have spared the pain they are undergoing now?"
I think people get mixed messages from your posts, you are quoting something from the Quran and then let it be known that you do not follow that particular practice.
Would you agree?
...some tactful soft beating for some might have been necessary.
Whoa!
Tactful soft beating
I don't know if you're familiar with the word oxymoron, but you've just defined it in a new 3-word version.
I don't know that there is anything such as a tacful beating or a soft beating. Beating implies by definition that you a knocking the crap out of something and there is nothing tactful or soft about it.
Finally, I've been married 26 years. I would imagine that is due in no small part to:
1. I treat her as I would have her treat me
2. Knowing that she is at least my equal and my partner
3. Ignoring advice such as this
Physically abusing my wife, for any transgression, has never once crossed my mind. Only a coward would hit a woman my friend. And before you play it, that statement has nothing to do with religion.
I can read. I took nothing out of context. When all else fails, hit. I don't agree and never will. Again, only a coward hits a woman.
Sadaqallah hul Azeem!
you mean their kids from prev marriages, the ones that are already grown up and in their 30's?Is this what happens when 50 becomes the new 30?
WIll Chrissie Evert become the new Liz Taylor?
