[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]One of my good friends is getting divorced. It's basically amicable, they're just very different people and want different things. A lot of it stemmed from money issues (she's a spender, he's a saver, she wanted to be a SAHM, he wasn't making enough to support the lifestyle she wanted, etc. etc. The point is, no cheating or anything like that).

Anyway, we just found out that he's already got a fairly serious girlfriend who he just introduced to his family. The new gf is really pretty, younger, has a graduate degree, and a better job than he does. I heard through the grapevine (friend of a friend) that she doesn't want kids. My friend is also dating but nothing serious. She did meet one guy she really liked but he wasn't looking for a commitment. She's upset and I didn't know what to say. It reminded me of that SATC episode though where Miranda and Steve broke up, he's homeless and living on her couch, and already has girls lining up for him.

I knew this was a stereotype but not a real thing. Can anyone tell her/us that it gets better? Did you meet "the one" with two kids in your thirties?[/quote]

She probably stupidly slept with him instead of dating a few people and finding someone serious. Just because the guy found someone younger etc. doesn't mean she's compatible. If anything I see most divorced couples struggle. Why the divorce rate the 2nd time is even higher. That younger cuter thing is often a nightmare. Your friend who is upset sounds immature and needy.

In your 30's you can meet all kinds of nice guys. The problem is finding a nice guy who is stable and balanced. Too many flakes so weeding through them is the challenge. If they have exes still hanging around that's a deal breaker. Your friend is better off moving on and away from her exes circle etc.[/quote]
