[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, what if you reframe this whole situation as seeing that he did you a favor?  Men have a shorter lifespan, so if you stayed together, you're statistically more likely to be his caretaker.  On the other hand, men often leave or cheat when their wives get sick, so he likely wouldn't have been there for you, anyway.  So, in this case, he can go spend his half of the marital assets on younger women for a few years and die alone and poor.  And you can take your half of the marital assets and live a responsible life and spend your time with your kids and your friends with no grouchy old man to clean up after, cook for, or run to doctor's appointments.  He may seem like he's "winning," but it won't last - men fall off a cliff around 60, and at that point, he'll just be a lonely, grouchy old man, alienated from his family and probably many of his friends.  Try to see it as a good thing, because it might be. [/quote]

What a wonderful fairy tale!  :lol: [/quote]

Men are lucky in that they hold on to peak attractiveness and masculinity until about age 50, after which it’s a steady, rapid decline, and this is backed by a wide body of research.  It is biological – women drop at 40 when they are past childbearing potential – men drop at 50 when they are no longer masculine and perceived by women as father material.  Testosterone declines 1% per year starting at 30.  By 60, men are invisible to younger women, and it takes a significant amount of money to overcome the signs of aging that hit around 60, like sarcopenia, hair loss, hearing loss, sun damaged skin including age/liver spots and deep wrinkles, bad breath, bad posture, slower metabolism, plus they have reduced energy, cognitive decline, weird hairs in ears, nose and bushy eyebrows.  Instead of masculine provider energy, they give off grumpy, declining old-man who needs a nurse energy. [/quote]
