[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he's gone all the time, there's your chance to start figuring out a more satisfying social life without him. If you like your couples friends, invite them to go out when he's not around, or just invite the women. Or, make new friends. That will be good for you whether you decide to stay married or eventually leave.[/quote]

While he's gone socialize with others, meet new people, get an STD panel, find a good lawyer, work on your life. Use an equal amount of money as he is, getting therapy and having fun while he's gone.[/quote]

I don't think you all have any idea how difficult it is for a woman in her early 60s to make a new life. I'm not sure I have enough courage to even try. [/quote]

Why do you think your friends would choose him over you, especially if he is the one cheating on you and treating you horribly?  [/quote]

Im the pp and it's not easy to make a new life, but I'm doing it in my 50s and have known many women who have to...in their 50s and 60s. Many if my friends are going thru divorces right now and having to start everything over..

If OPs DH ditches her for someone he meets camping, she will have to start a new life anyhow. I've had to move to DC with my dh's job and am trying to make all new friends, new house, find a new job all in my 50s. It is harder to make friends here than other places I have lived, but I am trying.

Best to slowly acquire new hobbies and make some new (non couple) friends now, while she can do it at her own pace. Maybe volunteer somewhere new? Try a new church or religious group alone, tell them your dh travels all the time and you are a "camping" widow.

Also, start telling your couples friends you are lonely because your dh is gone for long stretches "camping" and would love to get together without him since you never know when he will be home. [/quote]
