I have to say that I never thought of it like that before. Its a fair point. The only area I might differ on is that in one case it is known beforehand that the marriage will not last whereas in the other case the marriage may well succeed.Originally Posted by grahamw48
We're all different.
If a lot of 20 and 30 something guys were keeping their wives happy they wouldn't be getting divorced after 4 or 5 years.
If the 70 year-old lasts 10 happy years then pegs it...leaving his wife some security, what's the difference ?
But I still agree with the point that you make.
