In general, women are much better at “monkey branching” than men are.

But with both sexes, the more desirable members treat relationships like a job search. One of the job search truisms is that you are operating from a position of more power if you are searching for a new job while already having a job. If things are starting to go south in a relationship, it is wise to look for a better alternative while the first relationship is still in effect, so as to minimize the time between relationships and keep the sexual flow steady.
And ^^this^^, folks, is exactly why the divorce rate sky rockets. Things at home bad? Why work on yourself so all future relationships are better when you can just have something lined up on deck?

I am a woman. My "plan B" when my marriage was very obviously over was to get through the divorce and minimize the long term financial damage as much as possible. But, I also know mine would be high conflict because of the parties (yes, plural) I had to deal with. I just reached my 3yr post separation anniversary (divorce is final), and the court *** is still ongoing. Not all women are out to screw men with the branch swinging, and the smart ones find a way to land on their own feet so they don't have to rely on the support of a new income source.

But don't you know that's only because you are not a "desirable " woman, otherwise you'd have had a man by now .

I obviously will have to find a way to tuck the proverbial sack in... Can't let 'em see that I can be an independent, self reliant woman now, can we? Don't want to scare 'em off by having bigger b***s than they might have. Some men find that intimidating....

Such an empathetic person you are.

Maybe you should change your name to callousness.

Well, you don't know me now do you? I understand the heartbreak from lost love more than you know. I am quite empathetic. Especially since what I am saying will help the most as it is true. The best action is to move on as his ex wife has.

And you don't think he knows that? If it was that easy he would've done it already folks.

It's no use crying over spilt milk, OP. Did you expect to remarry her?

Her getting remarried soon after the divorce is probably the best thing that can happen to help you move on.
