[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know half a dozen 2nd  marriages (long-term, 20+ years) that began as an affair.  For some, they just did not meet the right person the first time  around. [/quote]

Me too. Most wish they stayed with their 1st wife but it wasn’t an option and being alone sucks and dating sucks more so they took the consolation prize and made the best of it.

My MIL lives in an over 55 community and when the H gets sick the kids are usually like ... he’s all yours. When the wife needs help the kids don’t normally want to be around her so they will sometimes let her drop him off for a weekend for a break but the 2nd wife often bears the brunt of the nursing duties.

For the 2nd “wives”... many don’t marry because of social security and pension laws. They often “break up” as soon as he gets ill leaving kids stuck with a sick dad that never was there for them. Kids are like you made your bed.... he is often left abandoned to fend for himself.

Women otoh ... build relationships and have help from friends/churches/etc when they get sick.
