[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why are women in here arguing with men about their reasons for wanting to remarry? I'm a woman and I know what the men are saying to be true. They really are simple creatures. After marrying, having kids and divorcing, when looking for a new mate, they're thinking about life partner/someone to date and bed partner. They no longer have to worry about her genes, maternal instincts. Even the ability to save and contribute financially is not that important because it has all been taking care of in the first marriage (the kids, struggling for the down payment on a house, climbing the corporate ladder to higher pay, etc).

They really don't care about the family gatherings, menus etc. They'd be fine having a romantic Christmas dinner in front of the fire place with Wife #2. And taking kids to the doctor and all the other stuff is likely to be taken care of by Wife #2.

Sure housecleaning may be something Wife#2 does, but that's just part of life. They would both be doing that (Ex DH & Wife 2) in their individual homes even if they'd never met.

Trust me, I have a couple of very close male friends who are looking for Wife 2 (widowed and divorced) and they are really just looking for someone to spend the rest of their lives with and have a bed partner (a friend's exact words). The other stuff takes care of itself for them.[/quote]

Lol, nobody is arguing about this.  We totally agree:  men want to remarry because marriage is a good deal for them.  As you outline, remarriage may be an even better deal for them.  Women don't want to remarry for the opposite reason.  It's easy for men to be "simple" when the women do all the work for them (and wife #1 put in all the hard work of childrearing.)[/quote]
