It might say something more about you and your social group than you realize if this is how you see 50-something non-married women. Judgmental much?

Plenty of 50-something women freed from the shackles of taking care of a husband are out there having a blast. But it's a shame your belief that they are a bunch of losers doesn't let you see that. That judgmental streak may end up keeping you nice and miserable in your marriage.

I know he pays for BJs and now he's planning a month long trip to the NW with his best bud but makes cracks about my desire to go on a nice tour of Europe.

Sorry for the rant, but men want everything these days: housekeeper, breadwinner, office manager, social secretary and whore.
F that!
flame away.

My mom got divorced in her 50s- she's in her 60s now and happier than she's ever been. Go for it!
