[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]People age differently. Some people were always duds and continue to be duds. Some people have health problems.

I’m in my late forties. I don’t keep track of which part of the couple is doing better. In our circles, the men do better professionally.

Some people age poorly. I have one friend who seems to be getting better with age (plastic surgery, nutrition, self care) while her husband is withering away. When we first met them, the guy was probably more physically fit and attractive. He definitely seems like a low value man now not working, having health problems, not as sharp, etc. Once upon a time, he paid for all their bills while she was a SAHM of their two kids, was very muscular and super social. I wonder if my hot getting better with age friend will dump her husband. They were very much in love when they first got married. He seem like dead weight now.

OP is being quite shallow. I think there are many more men who have wives who may have mommy tracked or stayed home with kids than vice versa. It seems less about careers and more about family and compatibility. I have seen more competent women dump their husbands than husbands who keep their older wives.[/quote]

You sound shallow too if you think a man who supported his wife for years but now can’t and has health problem is “dead weight.”[/quote]

Agree.

Aging is aging.

Being chronically under employed is not “aging,” even if still happening in one’s 50s & 60s.

Reminds me of how my aspergers BIL was suddenly called Alzheimer’s (undiagnosed formally) by the family at a later age despite behaving the same way he’d acted for decades. Convenient excuse for not treating the actual underlying issue. [/quote]
