There have been recent news reports of the upcoming divorce between Kate Walsh and her husband, Mr. Walsh.  Well, his name is actually Alex Young and he’s an executive with 20th Century Fox.  Not a bad gig, but not quite as high profile as his wife’s career.  Kate Walsh first became well known with her role in “Grey’s Anatomy.”  Now she’s starring in “Private Practice.”  Just as her career is really taking off, she and her husband of 15 months have decided to call it quits.

Then there’s the upcoming divorce of “Medium” star Patricia Arquette.   She and her actor husband, Thomas Jane, are seeking to end their two year marriage.  Actor Thomas Jane—never heard of him?  Exactly.

I still remember watching Hilary Swank accept her Academy Award for her role in “Million Dollar Baby” while her husband,  actor Chad Lowe, looked on proudly.  You know Chad Lowe, he’s the brother of actor Rob Lowe as well as the husband of an Oscar winning actress.  I swear, I predicted that marriage was doomed.  Sure enough, Hilary and Chad announced their intention to divorce only months after she won the Oscar.

I can’t help but wonder—are men still theatened by succesful women?  How many men have egos that can handle being the less successful spouse?   Especially when they have careers in the same field.

What do you think?  How many of you men could handle it?
