If you were happily married for 20-30, and it ended when because someone got sick and died, that's about as successful as it gets. Sure people are happily married for longer, but that's increasingly rare these days.

And let's say that your older husband dies when you are in your 50s. Is that so much worse than getting divorced in your 50s, which is what literally half of you will be doing anyway? At least the dead guy will leave you all of his assets without a court battle.

This!


No...it's not just about them dying earlier / widowing you. It's about being married to an old man (and all the crap that comes with it) for the prime of your lifd


Lol, and I'm sure from their perspective, it must be great being married to a menopausal shrew when they're 80. DH jokes that at least he won't live to experience me menopausing and I tease him to not be so sure.
