[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend is OP's age and divorced. He told me that aot of women a lot of women that he has met since his divorce have said that they are not opposed to being married again

One one hand divorced women claim to be free and enjoy their new found freedom. But at the same time, they appear to eager to remarry again.

Are women afraid to be single and alone in old age? They are all telling us in this forum that men are the ones who need them more. Which is it? [/quote]

It's not so much that they're "afraid" of being alone, it's that if the relationship really is as serious and committed as this man claims, then it makes sense to cut expenses by moving in together once they're empty nesters. What OP is proposing is sort of a long-term dating relationship where he refuses to live together but she's supposed to believe he's "committed" and treat him accordingly. What he's giving and what he wants to get just don't match up.

And women are less likely to be in denial about long-term aging and caregiving. You can say they're "afraid" but I think they're just more realistic and more informed. People get old and sick! OP seems to be completely in denial of that. Eventually one of them is going to come down with an illness or injury. So are they going to care for each other, or are they going to put that burden on their kids? If OP's plan is that his girlfriend should behave as a wife when he has an illness, but he should be free to leave her when she has an illness, that's not going to be very appealing to her.[/quote]
