LOLOL!!!
That’s the IED that hit my marriage - menopause.

Is going bald considered aging like fine wine?

I don’t think there’s any doubt. In those circles, men seek beauty, women seek money, so it’s essentially a business transaction, it’s just not called that, outloud anyway.
“and to handle the bills, and and and-”
Well, part of the reason I’m getting divorced is because I turned over all the bills, and 90% of my paycheck, to the soon-to-be-ex.
This was 6 or 7 years into our marriage. She’s got business degrees, I never went to college.
Here is it, 7 or 8 years later, and one credit card (of mine) has charged off for non-payment a few years ago - she never told me about it. The mortgage on the house (titled and mortgaged in my name only) was 6 months overdue, and was in the process of being foreclosed on, which would have sucked since my cousin is the sheriff’s deputy that would have been out to the house to lock it up and remove my family and stuff. This on top of the fact that she literally does not lift a finger to do any cleaning. I did the laundry, vacuuming, etc. My dad moved in with us 5-6 years ago, and he does the cooking. He and I split the dishes, when possible. I was the kids taxi service for church, school, choir, scouts, friends sleep-over, birthday parties, etc.
So, NO, I will NEVER turn over bills to someone else again.
That’s a feature, not a penalty.
I don’t think his wives showing their age was the problem. Ivana reportedly filed for divorce after she discovered he was having an affair with Marla Maples. He was wrong to commit adultery. No idea if Ivana was adulterous. She’s been married 4 times. Unlucky in love. And he did not divorce Marla to marry another. She was reportedly having an affair with one of Trump’s guards. (When you marry someone else’s husband, you just may cheat on him, too.)
No argument that Trump was a playboy. He seems to have settled down, though. I don’t believe all the crap about affairs while married to Melania, but even if they were true, that was then, and this is now.
I actually don't care about that.
HE'S NOT HILLARY.
He's also not some paragon of virtue. He's a President, not a "role model".
Same happened to me. Caught my ex cheating and she bailed for her highschool sweetheart. Is what it is. Thankfully we have shared 50/50 custody and we get along. I took the brunt of it but I made good decisions and took care of myself.

I’m 39 and have been single two years. I have little to no interest in dating, especially the women my age. Most are either in the process of dumping their husbands for a bigger better deal, they are single craving children and have slept around for over a decade, or they are single moms with too much baggage and little to offer.
Never settle! Never. Work on yourself and be the best version of yourself you can build. Settling is only setting yourself up for failure later. Be realistic, but worry about YOU (and your kids) first.
Celibacy is preferable to a lifetime of female nagging and yelling.
I have a consistent record of failure with women — despite the fact that I’m neither deformed, demented, or destitute. But at least I’ve never been hauled into family court and had half my assets taken away.
Three Chinese cheers for American women: Phoeey! Phooey! Phooey!
Same basic place you are. Working on myself and my kids. My kids are 17 and 15. Trying to get the two 17’s into good vocational certificate programs. Once they are there I will be able to relax a little.
My wife can be deadly and beautiful at the same time. My wife really hit me hard when she caught me (when I was about 55) admiring a woman walking down the street. She said, she could be your granddaughter (18+18+18=54). Direct hit. That was a very low blow to my ego.
Wait til he has ED.
Lube is going to be the least of his problems.
Lube doesn’t matter if nothing works in the first place.
He can take a Viagra pill. But there is no pill that stops female meanness.
When they say stuff like “that could be your daughter”, or “that could be your granddaughter”, you can shut them down by saying, “yeahhhhhh... but she’s not”.

In a rare burst of wisdom during my teen years, I decided that any attached men were off limits to me.
I figured that any man who would cheat on his wife with me, would cheat on me with another woman.
I have no respect for that kind of lack of integrity.
My sister dated a man for a while who had been divorced, and of course, it was his wife’s fault.
But as the relationship went on, she said something didn’t feel right and they finally broke up, with him giving her some really lame excuse.
Makes his wife have a lot more credibility. He could paint her as the bad guy, but considering the way he was, she was probably a saint to put up with him as long as she did.But of course, he was the victim in it all.
It wasn’t about meanness.
It was about dry skin.
