[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Sorry, ladies but men have a lot easier of a time rebounding after divorce than you do. [/quote]

Not from what I've heard from women who are over 50.  My sis in law had lots of options and these guys came on strong with marriage proposals way too fast for her liking.  Her impression was that they are desperate to remarry at a certain age.[/quote]

This was what I noticed with my mom when she was widowed in her late 50s. There’s a lot of men looking for someone to take care of them in her old age. [/quote]

Pfffft I don't know a single older guy who is like that but this tired DCUM trope will never die.[/quote]

My mom married at 85 to an 85 year old guy. They were both very active. Now she's ill and he's taking care of her.

A good friend just passed away at 93. His wife was 5 years younger, and she died 3 years ago. The last 10 years of her life he was taking care of her.

Unlike the selfish entitled women on this forum, I don't mind marrying a slightly younger woman and taking care of her when she's old. Unless she's selfish and entitled. [/quote]

If you are not a selfish dud ex-husband and not entitled, you should be fine remarrying to a nice woman before your 60s. It's nice just not to be alone, and to live with someone who is your best friend and companion, in my view. I don't worry about this "second marriages don't last" thing. My marriage was first for me and second for my exH. He cheated and checked out, but not me. I still don't regret my first marriage as I was truly happy for 10 years and have my child.

Even my second marriage lasts 10-15 years, I would consider it as success as long as I was happy in it for an extend period of time, and not miserable. Financial things can be taken care of in second marriages to protect kids, premarital assets etc.[/quote]
