Do you believe the "walk-away-wife" or "mid-life" situation that leads to divorce is a phase that could be worked out if given the time, or is it a real feeling that most women are satisfied with for the rest of their life? I'm talking about women who divorce a man for no major reasons; he is a good father, good provider, there is no infidelity or abuse, etc., but she is just unhappy, or at least thinks she is unhappy, for whatever reason.
It happened to me, and i know it happens to other men. I know that people go through changes in their lives, and no doubt the woman is feeling unhappy at the time. But what about when she's 70 and retired or 90 and in the nursing home. Do they ever look back at a more mature age and realize he wasn't such a bad guy after all and wonder what their life would have been with him after their adventurous nature died down and other phases of life occur, especially if their post relationships were not so good?
Oh, and I know this happens to men too. I wonder if they wish they had stayed with their "good wife" after they get tired of buying Corvettes and dying their hair?
