[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men, and particularly men who are used to being in a long term relationship (esp. one where they weren't the one to initiate the split), tend to be kind of helpless post-breakup.[b] They don't like being alone, [/b]and will be quick to jump into something with someone new. Women who have gone through a divorce are more cognizant of the (perceived, or real) mistakes and shortcomings in their prior partner / relationship, and tend to be a little more discriminate when looking for their next partner.

I have seen this time and again with people who divorce in their 40s and 50s...the men tend to jump into their next relationship and generally end up remarried within a few years, while the women have ZERO intention of ever mrryinf again.[/quote]

+1.  Men really have a hard time being alone after having been married or in a long term relationship.  If my husband and I got divorced he'd probably be in a relationship right away.  Being married to my husband has been so challenging that I don't think I'll ever marry again.  I'm sure many women say this but I don't even think I would date.

I think about I bring to the relationship and it makes sense why men marry again quickly.  We plan their social lives, plan family events, have their children, decorate their homes, plan vacations, send thank you notes, schedule the cleaning ladies and home maintenance, buy the children clothing and sign them up for school and activities, buy birthday gifts, plan parties... I could go on!   It's not like I need to marry again to find someone to do this stuff because I already do it and I'm not interested in doing it again for another guy.  On top of working full time.
