[quote=Anonymous]My observation is that some of them take the criticism and lessons learn and become objectively better husbands to second wives, and sometimes better dads. Not all the time but I’ve seen this several times with men who married youngish, really were “duds” (just putting zero effort into life, not just their relationship— treat wives like mothers and expect them to manage house, kids, finances, social life, etc.). The ones I’m thinking of, the divorce came as a shock. They really did not expect their wives to get that fed up, and because they were on autopilot they assumed their partners were too. It wakes them up and makes some realize that a wife is not a baby sitter. I’ve seen some do a lot better the second time around with lessons learned. Saw it with my brother, my DH’s coworker, and a good college friend of mine.

The first wives in these scenarios are understandably conflicted when they watch this happen. In a way it’s one last thing they did for these guys— teach them to grow the eff up.[/quote]
