In many cases the divorce was caused by the man going back to acting AFC and letting himself go. Ever see those hot late 30 year old MILFs with 300 lb dudes? You think she wants to see that naked? You think she wants 2 minutes of sex until he is so out of breath he can't perform anymore?
Not saying this is always the case but it probably is the case in a large percentage
Most attractive older women in their late 30s/early 40s are not married to grostequely obese, 300 lb guys.
I can buy the idea that an attractive late 30s/early 40s woman is married to a guy who was once in shape but is now 15-30 lbs overweight. I agree that she won't be patient with that. She can easy find an attractive younger man at her gym to have an NSA affair or someone close to her age who is in shape for a sexual liaison.
7. Divorce proves there was at one time a successful relationship.
And also likely proves she lacks the communication, patience, commitment, and conflict resolution skills it takes to keep a relationship together.
So much easier to crumple up and throw out a relationship like a used McDonald's bag than actually try to "work" on it, right?
I agree completely. I think a lot of people (both sexes) go into marriages because they think it is the next logical step, or that's how it was done in their parents'/grandparents' generation, or they see their siblings or friends doing it and they think they should do it. They don't realize what an endeavor it is.
For women, they want that one day wedding ceremony and reception. They want the honeymoon. They just really aren't thrilled about the day 5-10 years in the future after the wedding day, when they have a house with an oppressive mortgage, and 1-2 kids, and a husband who has gotten more beta and brought less excitement to her life over time. They just don't think about that day until it arrives.
