[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm trying to process this. The 22 y.o. is a graduate student on the other coast, in my STBX's field. That's his spiel, talking up women in his field online, offering his "help." She looks exactly like me in my twenties.

We have been separated for three years, with no intent of divorcing due to financial entanglements. Plus, it is convenient for him that I continue to take care of everything. We have a 15 year-old daughter who lives with me. He lives 3 hours away close to his job, in a remote area. We own jointly the two very nice houses in which we live.

Now he dropped the bomb that the young woman is going to visit him for a "crash course" in his field, and he wants her to meet our daughter.

I am almost 13 years younger than him. When I met him 20 years ago, he was about to turn 40 and looking at women in their early to mid-twenties. This hasn't changed. I don't know how to handle this.

why would you marry a man 13 years older than you??   are you insane?  naive?  or just stupid?
  
or were you searching for someone to take care of you?   financial entanglements is code for not wanting to have to support yourself.

and to top it off , now you are surprised when he traded you in a for a newer model?

men are hard wired after tens of thousands of years of evolution to be attracted to young women.  it is the young women that go out with older men that are insane.

OP here. I have two terminal degrees and earn very well (own my own firm), but not as well as he does.

13 years did not seem like a big age difference. 37, on the other hand... She could almost be his granddaughter. It's embarrassing, even though he looks a lot younger. He is in for a lot of disappointment. [/quote]

13 is huge.

But honestly 25 to 38 almost makes sense. He was FORTY. never married. Huge red flag. [/quote]
