I have had this on my mind for some time now. I have seen men that have been married for years to a woman of equal age, and all of a sudden, they trade their 40-year-old in for a 20. Maybe my math is a little off, but is this the only scenario where trading a 40 for a 20 is acceptable?
Whatever happened to having a like mind and like interests? Is it all about being taken care of, or not having to deal with a demanding woman? Are we not willing to work anymore, put in the effort that is necessary for a successful relationship?
Women say that he needs to have a house, car, and a good job ... so if he doesn’t, he’s not good enough? Whatever happened to a man that is thoughtful, caring, and willing to take care of you? He is willing to accept you with all of your flaws and imperfections. The same holds true for men ... how come, all of a sudden, the woman you married is not good enough? Now those hips you once loved are too big. The baby weight is unbearable. The woman who supported you through graduate school, bore your children ... is not enough?
Where has our common sense gone?

I think after being married for a number of years that if couples do not work hard at it, you can become bored with your spouse. Marriage is work. You must work on keeping your spouse happy, work on keeping yourself looking good for your spouse and you must spend quality time with one another. the same way you invest in your homes, wardrobes, cars etc. you must invest in your marriage. When one or all of those areas are not being maintained, it is very easy to look in another direction. For men, I think they tend to search for the young because there intention is to have there cake and eat it too but then the cake is so sweet they dont want to give it up so they leave there wife who helped them build all they have for a sweet piece of cake. Marriage requires attention. You cannot become so relaxed in it.
