I've been married for 38 years to a wonderful man who has only a minor personality flaw, who is at work at the same job every day, and he is at home every night with me. We have a daughter and a granddaughter whom we love.
This couple has been separated probably more than half a year, every year, due to appearances and work on films, have gone through alcohol and emotional problems we will never experience, and yet you can say what is wrong and place the blame. Not good. The divorce rate in this country began to advance when everything became instant and disposable. This should not apply to humans, however 19 years is a pretty long time to try when the problems seem insurmountable. I hope they both go on to have peaceful lives. And for the record, Robin Williams is a comic genius and an improvisatory wizard.

I think Robin Williams is pretty funny (but also tremendously egotistical and the epitome of a camera hog). That said, he left his first wife for the current one when she was his kid's nanny. That never sat well with me. I have no sympathy for either of them.

I saw Robin perform 20 years ago when I was 9 months pregnant with my daughter. I had a front row seat and never have laughed so hard in my life. He kept looking at me worrying I would pop before his set was over. Flash forward and now he is the one who needs to be patted and told to relax, all will be ok. Divorce sucks, no two ways about it. I just wish both of them peace, and sannity, in a difficult time. It couldn't have happened to two nicer people.

God Bless Robin Williams. He used to have his friends, Chris and Dana Reeeve to lean on. my advice to him is do compassionate things and volunteer even more. Get into a different kind oflove. put effort into, your kids. go positive.

He told this joke in THE ARISTOCRATS: Rabbi walks into a bar with a duck on his head. Bartender asks "where'd you get that?" The duck says "Brooklyn, they've got hundreds of them!"

Marsha Williams has monumental stamina indeed. Imagine 19 years with a bipolar, alcoholic, intimacy averse, narcisistic, frightened man who is running as fast as he can. He's as funny as a heart attack and as painful to watch.

Sad news, I'm sure. Leave them alone. Let them work out their personal tragedy in peace.

Anyone else notice how Hollywood marriages usually end when a celebrity's career and popularity starts to wind down.

He still can be considered one of the top comedians of our generation (even if his latest movie rolls weren't very good).

I think she filed b/c he is GAY!

Anyone agree with me?

From nanny to millionaire wife, to millionaire single mom. Its the American way!

Love can never work, when it's turned into a possession. That's what marriage does.

Now it will become about who has what, who is entitled to what, who will get what.

As long as we reward divorce marriage will decline.

Robin Williams was banging the babysitter, just like he did in "World According To Garp" and ended his first 10 year marriage. It's too bad he didn't learn anything from that role. Still, he's very talented and divorce is shitty for everyone, so good luck to all parties.

Williams is an acceptable actor, excellent impersonator, and about as funny as Max von Sydow. I hope the best for him, his ex, and his family.

He was having an affair with this one while married to the other one, so I do not feel sorry for her at all.

Move over Paul McCartney.
