She was right and you just admitted it. Anyone who regrets their children IS a dud as a father and parenting partner. I doubt your ex is impressed by your sex life now, but I hope she’s keeping an eye on your bank account and taking what her kids are owed.
you left your kids to go sleep with girls 30yrs younger than you? That's winning?sick
DP but lol, that's absolutely winning from a male perspective. Making a lot of money, which you parlay into having sex with dozens of young women - that is the dream.
When you decide to get divorced the dream is to get away from the woman who treats you with contempt and indifference. Everything after that is absolute bliss!
Probably not for your children and future children.
Women initiate 75% of divorces. Evidently they don't care about the happiness of their children, or can easily convince themselves that the kids will be fine or even better off after divorce (though it's really all about what she wants). As the man in this situation, it doesn't matter what you want or what might be best for the kids, it's happening anyway.

Well, he shouldn’t have used his premarital assets to buy a joint asset with second spouse. He should have placed it in a trust for his kids. This is an example of a financial stupidity, not an argument against second marriages. If he didn’t sell the house and just kept under his name it wouldn’t be divided in divorce.
Well, technically he messed up in the third marriage. He never had any children of his own which is better for nevermore because he wasn't at all good with kids.

Exactly - I only date for marriage. I am early 40s female after a long marriage. I have more than most men have at 60 (NW 4.5mm). My premarital assets are protected in trusts with zero risk loosing what I already earned in divorce. I don’t have issues having joint accounts, living under one roof, filing joint tax returns and choosing the best health insurance that one of the spouses has. Also I work (20 years to retirement) and actively look not just for a husband but for a friend and a transparent partner with common financial and investment goals, to develop a joint vision for retirement. Two can have better, happier and more prosperous life in marriage than being single partners who live separately.
How is the dating going? Just curious because I'm in a similar position but not dating. Have you met any men that are even worth considering as a marriage partner (for me that would mean similar income, similar assets, attractive, fit, professional, doesn't have too much baggage from previous marriage(s), etc.)?

In large part, it is for companionship rather than financial security. All were in longer marriages and are seeking a second chance at a solid marriage. All professional women in the DMV.

Or you can just live together and not get married.
I have zero interest in marriage.
