[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Honestly, who cares? [/b]

If you have adequately prepared for the possibility that this could happen to you, both materially and socially, then you will be fine.

Would you really want to be with someone who didn't cherish the family you built together? I know I wouldn't - and I also know that I can have a happy life in a relationship or single. [/quote]

The women (and men) who care are those who are materially, economically impacted by their spouse's adultery and abandonment.  I know many female attorneys and even one female physician of my generation of women (late 40s and older) who gave up nascent and strong careers to make their spouse's ambitions and stellar professional achievements possible by taking care of every minute detail having to do with the children, home management, and all of the logistics and relocation issues (including new schools, activities, friends) associated with multiple geographic career moves.  I recall the man in one of these couples asking his wife, "where is the children's pediatrician located?", when his children were already teens.  Honestly, how are you so engaged in your career that you do not even know where your child's pediatrician is located?  And yet in some of these marriages the stay-at-home wife (or husband) has solely handled all of the domestic duties.

In those type of marriages, the stay-at-home woman (or man) left behind in their mid-40s and beyond, with a professional gap of 15 years or more, is simply not well situated to find employment and develop a career that will sustain them comfortably until their death.  They have effectively missed all of the years of a successful career's development, rise, and economic fruition, and they will never, ever get those prime earning years and professional opportunities back.  That is who cares. [/quote]

Well, this is not a good move for ANY woman. This is not new news that successful men cheat (they have young women at work throwing themselves at them). Why you would give up your career and life for some man to chase his dreams and eventually just become unappreciated and undervalued over time, I simply cannot understand nor have a ton of sympathy for someone setting themselves up.

So many of my Male colleagues run around on their wives. O alway wonder does the wife turn a blind eye to maintain her lifestyle? Is she truly clueless? Or is he just that good at covering his tracks? These men get such huge egos with all the opportunity their power and koneybopen up.

At least of you maintain a career you maintain an identity and a separate life outside of your DH and kids.[/quote]
