[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Like, specifically. Is it just that they aren't around enough? Is it job stress? Is it disconnect from spouse due to intensity of job (like your work is the biggest thing in your life, and your spouse isn't a part of it)?

I'm looking at these divorced men I know in their 50s, but then I know all these men in the same careers but younger (still married, young kids, seems fine from outside) and wondering how they go from one to the other. Divorce is common enough with these careers that there must be some commonalities, but I can't figure what.[/quote]

For the last couple of decades you have to be a coddled (tiger) momma's boy dork to become an MD or successful attorney. Dorky arrested development men who rarely if not never got laid in high school, college and grad school tend to turn weird as they age and get some status and money from their careers. My best friend from college divorced her MD husband in their 40s and she confessed he literally never gave her an orgasm.[/quote]

I teach at a medical school (3rd year psychiatry clerkship director) and haven’t seen this.  [/quote]

You mean they DO give orgasms?[/quote]

I mean they aren’t dorky arrested development men.  Most of them aren’t even men.  [/quote]

How would you know how it is to date your students? Arrested development in the context of their dating and sexual experiences. Of course in the classroom they’re typical conniving kiss asses. :roll: [/quote]
