You know, I'll tell you something, and I'm not cynical, angry or anything else...I love my husband, and I love my family, but if he were to eventually leave me for another woman, I would have my own life and be myself and in some ways I think I'd really enjoy it.
I know that sounds horrible...and as I said, I do love my husband. But if he left me "for being old," or for any other reason, I would, for the first time in my life, kick up my heels and literally do what I wanted. I would enjoy every minute of deciding things based on what I wanted...not what someone else wanted.
Maybe nature makes men look toward young women who have the time and energy to pick up someone else's socks and to, like, you know, like, TOtally feel stuff like ya know romantic...in order to provide us 40-and-over woman with an eventual escape and relief-from-duty route.
I know being left hurts...but there are FAR worse things than being left. And though we may rail against nature and the "I want a young girl" bit, we can also look at it a different way...many, many women actually feel grateful later on that they wound up divorced and are leading their carefree lives, while their 45-year-old husbands are huffing and puffing trying to keep up with a 19-year-old who wants them to buy them, like, you know, stuff like, all the time and who cry "You don't love me! Waaaaaaaaaaaaah" when their middle-aged units just can't keep up with 19-year-old energy.
You may be onto something. My grandmother used to say that the reason women live longer than men is God gave them a few years to themselves for having to put up with men all the other years. She thought widowhood was her reward and she kicked up her heels.
Where do transsexual people fit into this? How much of this is nullified because it can be altered by taking hormones? I'm not sure--that's why I'm posing the questions.

LOL, so I can look at it as taking an early widowhood. Hey, can't hope for an early retirement anymore... at least early widowhood in a way...
I guess it's to be expected on a female dominated board, but jeez reading this thread you'd think it was only men that leave their spouse's. Sure it sucks that your man might up and leave your aging body for ms. red corvette, it also sucks when some woman up and leaves you for don juan de cell block 7. Where's the loyalty there for the man who stood by her side for so many years, put up with hormones and provided for his family?
Just because it's an "emotional need" doesn't make it any better than our physical needs. They are both selfish. Your estrogen driven behavior is no more saintly than our testosterone driven behavior.
And neither is an excuse. A woman can overcome her emotions just as men can overcome their physical desires.

Err, no, it's not because "this is a female-dominated board". It's because (if you actually read the OP), it was the OP's (a man, BTW) assertion that men leave women for younger women. The answers are in responses to that.
You would also note that I said that women cheat on men for emotional reasons... but I still don't see men posting on here about their no-good wives. For that matter, I don't see you mentioning the women one way or another. Ah... but the joys of being a "minority," ladies, huh? You can say what you want without concern or reprimand. Life is good.

I hear ya. I'll be lucky if I retire by the time I'm 70. Sheesh. What happened to the good old days when you could reatire at 55?
Hmmmm? Maybe I can find myself a rich old husband and start both the widowhood and retirement early, I'd have to be young and cute to do that, woudln't I?
I'll just have to work on that portfolio and figure out how to afford Phil

Hey, we still look like babies to people 20 or 30 years older! I'd rather win the Powerball, though. Which reminds me... haven't checked it for a month. Imagine if I worked a month more than I should've out of laziness...
