Well, gee, I don’t know. There is thus crazy thing called unconditional trust and love in a marriage of 38 years. Being blindsided when your husband turns 70 and picks up a Ho has got to do a complete mind f@ck on you. Many women don’t start marriage as a business/financial opportunity. Very hard for gold digging hos to understand. |
^found the bitter woman whose husband left her for a 25 yr old. |
Found the gold-digging ho. |
| Who cares if men want younger women. This has been going on for centuries. Western culture glorifies older women to be the best. Most men seeking midlife excitement look towards younger women to fill this role. You can be bitter all you want but this will not change the fact men want younger women as they age. |
And those younger women will get old too. |
Don’t you mean western culture glorifies young women to be the best? |
Let it go and move on. |
Their older husband will be taking a dirt nap by then. They will old somewhere in the Keys, eyeing the pool boy. |

My dad left my mom 3 years ago for a much younger woman after 35 years of marriage. I honestly felt that mom was better off without him. I don't think mom would have ever left. Mom was devastated but accepted the divorce when dad would not stop seeing his OW.
Mom wanted to keep everything civil and dad tried to take advantage of this by offering her a settlement that was a joke. Long story short my brother got mom a new lawyer and got mom a huge settlement and she is set for life. We have never met the OW and she is banned from all family functions. That has caused huge problems in their relationship but that is not our problem. |
That is sad, for you and siblings, but not so much for your mom. Good riddance. I hope she is enjoying herself. |
Set for life off of someone else's labor. No wonder he divorced her. |
Yes she is doing quite well. She did quite a bit of traveling which was slowed down by covid. She is back in college too and is seems to have a new lease on life. |
Not really. It was accumulated wealth from their 38 yr marriage. I SAH with 3 kids. This allows my DH to work as many hours as he can. He can work until 9 pm if he has to and often works entire weekends. He wouldn't be able to do this without the work I do at home. If he wants to leave me in in 20 yrs for someone younger, I won't be bitter, but I will insist on being fairly compensated. We are both working hard in different ways to build our wealth. I don't own him, he doesn't own me. |
Dad is that you?

This exactly!! Mom gave up her own career and this is what they agreed on. Even moved 3x for his career. |
