Anonymous wrote:Although perhaps not wealthy by DCUM standards, I know four male doctors whose wives helped put them through med school but then were dumped for younger women (nurses in two cases, receptionists in the other two cases) when their husbands were in their 40s/50s. In all four cases the doctors used their on-call schedules to cover their cheating, in at least two of the cases they cheated for years with various women before divorcing.
All are very talented doctors so it seemed to me that they let the praise go to their heads. I also think their schedules and the many available younger women made it easier, too. That said, all four blew up their relationships with their kids, primarily because the kids were ticked to learn that their dads missed important school events not because of medical emergencies but because they were cheating.

But you have no idea what his wife was like to be married to. Perhaps for Jeff, wife B is a major upgrade. No one knows what goes on inside a marriage other than the two people in it.
This. Have you SEEN his new woman? What a body! Lauren Sanchez was a MAJOR upgrade over Wife #1. Sanchez doesn't bother him about ethics or treating people or whatever. She's the life of the party, creates an amazing social life for him, and rocks his world.
The new woman has a weird, plastic surgery face and seems to have an annoying, hyper-sexual personality.

A heart wants what a heart wants, specially a heart with a deteriorating middle age brain.

My mom taught me this. Always have your own income and savings. It served me well.
My mom and dad preached this to us. My sister, brother and I all have our own retirement and income. My husband went to making what I did to near 7 figures and I kept my income.
+1M. From an early age, my parents always taught me (and my brother) to always be able to take care of ourselves, no matter what. I am so glad I grew up with that mentality and it stuck with me. But TBH, I have highly educated friends with advanced degrees from top schools, and only one of them is a SAHM (and she is looking to reenter the workforce now, after a few years off). Everyone else works, and most of them full time in high stress jobs like biglaw partners or medicine. Maybe I'd feel differently if I had mostly SAHM friends, idk.
