[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he's gone all the time, there's your chance to start figuring out a more satisfying social life without him. If you like your couples friends, invite them to go out when he's not around, or just invite the women. Or, make new friends. That will be good for you whether you decide to stay married or eventually leave.[/quote]

While he's gone socialize with others, meet new people, get an STD panel, find a good lawyer, work on your life. Use an equal amount of money as he is, getting therapy and having fun while he's gone.[/quote]

I don't think you all have any idea how difficult it is for a woman in her early 60s to make a new life. I'm not sure I have enough courage to even try. [/quote]

Suck it up and deal.  Have some self-respect.  You could live another 30+ years.  What kind of life do you want?[/quote]

eh, blowing up her marriage and her life over what amounts to childish behavior (mid life crisis) on her husband's part may not be the way to go.

This is a 60 something year old man, not a 30 something young buck.  He is probably hanging out fishing, drinking and guffawing with other 60 something guys.  He's acting like a single man when he abandons his wife like that and excludes her from all of these trips. That's the problem.  He is disrespecting his wife and not attending to his marriage like a good husband should.

Op could kick him to the curb over this and divorce him.  But I will about guarantee that the one who will wind up sincerely regretting that in a few years will be her husband.  The older single women that I've seen usually tend to do a whole lot better being single than the older guys do.  They don't think they need their wives until they do.

Marriage counseling, Op.[/quote]
