[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=ZachF][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I had happy years married and miserable years married.  The miserable years were made worse because I could remember when ex was a decent, mostly sane person.  Averaging all those years, probably slightly happier married but you have to manufacture your own happiness.  I was very lonely and isolated the last 8 years of the marriage.

Now I'm not lonely, and looking forward to[b] a great relationship with a younger, tighter, more successful woman[/b].  [/quote]

You sound like a lovely person. [/quote]

Because I want what's best for me, for a change?  [/quote]

NP.  Because you're an annoying delusional loser [/quote]

What is so delusional about wanting to choose a better partner next time, after suffering one who wasn't?  This option is available to all single people.  It's a driving force in the decision to get divorced.  The choice between years of worsening misery in a bad relationship, or getting out of the relationship and being free to pursue someone better.[/quote]

NP here, but I think people are objecting to his goals: "younger, tighter, more successful".  It sounds shallow.  I think if he'd said "more fun, loving, and generous" no one would have objected.[/quote]

I believe the statistics are: men after divorce remarry on average 2 years after the divorce to a woman who is on average 8 years younger who weighs on average 11kg less than their ex-wife.
