[quote=Anonymous]Here's what will happen:

You'll have another up to five years of real fun together, you'll be so happy, though your professional options will be limited by his geographic needs.

Then in your 30s, and his 50s, you'll have kids, you'll stop working because it doesn't make sense to work (read all the threads about the pressure of households with two FT working parents). You may have a hobby job. You won't see him very much, you'll be tired from the childcare and he'll be working a lot. You may have a huge house and will end up sleeping near the kids to keep an eye on them. He doesn't see the kids as much and isn't nearly as close to them as you are.

This whole time you are also a stepmom, the other kids resent you for digging into their inheritance, resent your kids for taking his attention and money. The ex wife is also around and every time you interact with her you feel bad.

In your 40s, your kids are a little more independent and you still feel and look young. You still have a high sex drive, actually it came back now that the kids are older. However your husband is in his 60s and is slowing down and looks like an old man. You are worn out from being a stepmom and all that involves.

This is the big question -- what do you end up doing now? What if you meet another Dad your age and feel attracted to him? You start looking towards the future -- you might be alive for another 30-40 years. What do you want that time to look like?

This is the point when many women in these kinds of marriages get divorced.
