maria had power and money. barbara was a nobody.
Arnold didnt want to be a nobody all of his life. His interests were into being with maria and her siblings. "love"? please. What is love for these people, they re obsessed with satisfying their own love for themselves. Maria had her muscleman for decades before getting tired of it and nowadays she must be fucking younger and still muscular men with arnold's consent.
These people are so filthy rich they cheat on each others on a weekly basis, both of em.
They can do, buy whatever they want. They re our modern versions of "gods and godesses".
common rules that define the life of average joes dont apply to these people. They re not mere mortals like us. We have to stay commited most of the time cause money is involved at your scale. Cheating on each others is financially , emotionaly risky for us, for these people, it isnt. They can just start everything somewhere else the folowing day thanks to their money. Just because you dont hear about their affaires dont mean they have none it just mean they are ok with em, at the oposite of the tiger woods couple -what a loser and moron this guy is seriously-.
