[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Hi OP, I am a 45 year old big law partner, also divorced supporting a SAHM with 2 middle school age kids.  Exact same situation, make very good money, obviously not as much to go around as before but dropping a few thousand on a fancy weekend away for a woman I am interest in is meaningless money.

These responses are complete nonsense and likely written by bitter first wives who want to see you lonely and punished.  Ignore them.

You will have absolutely zero problems finding dates.  Actually, it will be exhausting doing on line dating because you will have so many women match with you.  Many of them will be much younger.  I agree with one PP, you need to be fair to them that you are not looking for a second wife and kids because many women in their 30s are.  Even if they tell you they aren't sure.

Yes, wear a condom.  Of course.

Tinder is fine for hookups.  Bumble is good too. Again, you will be surprised at how many younger, attractive women you will match with.  If you are like some of my divorced friends, you may go through a promiscuous phase because it's so abundant, like far easier than when you were younger.  But you will ultimately see that easy sex with random women creates more headache than it's worth.  I can give you some funny and not so funny stories.

Single mom's are my preferred partners.  They understand that when I have the kids, I am not available and I respect that they have the same situation.

Good luck, it's a crazy world out there but lots of great women looking for real connections.[/quote]

On what planet do 2 middle aged school kids need a SAHM? And you are a lawyer? Really?!?[/quote]

PP you are replying to.  Is it that rare for middle school kids to have a SAHM?  Many of my law partners wives don't work outside the home or work part time. My ex didn't need to work and since divorce it's helpful to have her full time with kids. She will go back to work at some point but with kids e-learning she has time to take it on.  We are still United on kids, money isn't an issue for us.

Really, truly I am a lawyer and biglaw equity partner.  Didn't think they were they rate round these parts.  [/quote]

They are divorced. Being SAHM is a luxury that would not generally be bestowed upon any EX wife.[/quote]

They are not divorced yet.  It seems reasonable to SAHM at least until school resumes.  Otherwise you have to hire someone, it's not a good deal considering the additional exposure.[/quote]

why would she still be supported as a SAHM if she’s not doing all the non-parenting SAHM job duties on his behalf (like his laundry, cooking and cleaning, regular sex). Sounds like she’s a part time SAHM who should be at least partly supporting herself. [/quote]
