[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My ex’s new partner (they are not married) is ten years younger, was barely scraping by financially, did not graduate college, got expelled from high school. She looks a lot like me, however.

[b]Is this typical of second partners?[/b] I did not get an advanced degree (ex discouraged me and held me back professionally which is one of the reasons we eventually divorced). I think he wants power over a woman and chose someone more dependent. [/quote]

Is what typical of second partners? My husband and I were each married before and his ex-wife and I do look quite a bit alike. He is dark-haired like my ex and they both have very kind faces but they're different heights and builds.

We both traded up in the professional area though - she was a paralegal and I'm a lawyer and my husband makes a lot more than my ex did (completely different industries).

Your ex sounds like a loser if he wants to be with a woman that he can have power over so I guess it's good you're rid of him. [/quote]

Anybody want to bet on whether or not this PP's DH traded down in the looks department? Because I bet he did -- hence this "I'm a lawyer and she's a paralegal!!!" stuff. [/quote]

OP literally asked if husband's traded down for less professional wives in their second marriages, hence, the response. I really couldn't care less if you think I'm more or less attractive than her. We look similar - long blonde hair and blue eyes - but I'm taller by about 2 inches. I'm more muscular, she's thinner (I do weights, she's a runner). At least that's how it was 15 years ago when I last saw her. She never had kids so I'm sure her stomach is way better than mine. Does that make you feel better?  :roll: [/quote]
