[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I don't judge but I just say good luck. I am a single mom by choice and watching my friends go through divorces is straight up rough. [b]The women have a tough time for a few years and then recover, the guys act like they've been let out of jail and then hit the deck hard in about 24 mos. Five years out is everyone happier? That's really hard to say.[/b] For people that left bad marriages, I think the answer is often yes. For people who just went looking for greener pastures, I don't think so. Life isn't as pretty, exciting, interesting, or simple past 40. That life those folks tried to chase doesn't exist anymore.

My guess is many would be just as happier (and with much more finically security) staying married. To be clear I'm not a proponent of settling. But chronically looking for something better is a distinct middle class illness. [/quote]

This is what I have seen.  Men who can go wild sexually and in the short term can be very happy with their new life.  Women usually have it tougher at the start but come around to being more content.  But it can get very lonely as you age, especially when both sexes often lose some part of their social circle.

This is why many people stay in ho-hum marriages or try to find some excitement by cheating without blowing up their marriages if they can get away with it.[/quote]
