Surely the beloved person you lost would want you to be happy and not to spend your life grieving? Everyone is entitled to happiness and there are lots of lovely, sincere people in the world who are looking for equally the same person.

When you are divorced.. you have to live with that EX spouse prancing and parading around with other partners.. if there are children, you are tied to your ex for support.. and even if the kids are grown, there are still weddings.. Grandchildren, Christenings, birthday parties..etc where your ex will turn up like a bad penny.
Either way... it's the woman who will be judged... and the woman who will suffer the consequences of her actions much more than a man ever will.

Re: Baby Boomers.... and sex
Just in my personal experience I think men are treated worse after divorce - normally even if it wasn't their fault they get blamed. The woman is usually thought of with sympathy.But as I said that's just how I observe it with people I know.
Poor bloke who was beaten regularly finally left his wife and hardly anyone sympathised with him it was all poor Jean who he had left who got the sympathy.

Until the lonliness sets in. Until you miss that everyday interaction you had with a spouse.. The ability to share experiences and have conversation that only the two of you understand the importance of.. Until all the hoopla and fanfare you get from being the grieving widow disappears when all the well meaning folks get tired of hearing about your grief and move on..enjoying their lives with their own partners.. yet prefering to see you partnerless.. THEN.. and only then will you know.

Re: Baby Boomers.... and sex
Well I've been at the beach having a lovely time and have only come in for some shade, but I'm also leaving this thread as some of the remarks are becoming crass, particularly from those attempting to portray some holier than thou attitudes and herculean morality..........which appears to be restricted to married women only?Audrey - I think your post sums things up very succinctly.

Re: Baby Boomers.... and sex
Oh come on... surely you understand the meaning behind that statement... THE MEANING was.. that sex is as necessary to the human existance as all other biological functions...Yes of course we all knew what you meant Audrey, your statements are as I read them very honest, also right and good to hear. Most of us women love and thoroughly enjoy sex, being sexy and womanly for whoever we choose to be intimate with.
From one woman to another I make no apologies, nor do we need to justify ourselves to anyone, really we do not need approval from others and certainly not from one of our sisters.
Have you not noticed ladies....how quiet the men are....it speaks volumes!!!!!!
Back to the topic now...get out there ladies strut your stuff, have fun regardless of your age, but take care. Simples
