I think he needs to move to Florida, get a sports car, and bang every young strumpet who will give him the time of day.

And I know he is reading this right now.

Godspeed, my brotha.

Sometimes as a sensitive young man I wonder if reading a forum for bored plant workers and lonely oilfield workers is good for my perception of women

Could be worse. I know someone that had been married 20 years, cute wife, two teenage kids, she left him for a fat, old woman that wore a baseball cap and cargo shorts.

Same thing happened to a buddy of mine. Been married for over 15 years with two kids. Wife left him for a guy she met at work.

Wow.

If he is reading this- I'm sorry that happened.

Your friend's advice is solid, go enjoy yourself and find peace.

You never own her, and she'll break the lease whenever she feels like.

New man will turn her out and be done with it inside of a year.

When will these women learn that their value sharply decreases when they suddenly become attainable?

It’s unfair that if a woman wants to defy society she can do fun things like eat Burger King every day and drive a gravel truck meanwhile a man in the same position has to get a six pack and cut hair for a living

He should move to The Villages, Florida and change his profession to this:

People don't leave what they have unless they think that what they're going to is a better option.

That said, cheating is a choice that puts personal wants ahead of honesty, integrity, and respect for another person's trust.

35 years is a long arse time and kids are usually well gone well before that.

Is the friend devastated? Makes you wonder how happy they actually were if she wanted out like that

Around one-third of people who have affairs report that the affair partner was a coworker. People spend 40+ hours per week together, sharing challenges and accomplishments that create emotional bonds. Also, frequent interaction increases familiarity and attraction and then if they travel together, or take a lunch together, those are more moments. And if one spouse is staying "after work" for after-hours projects -- those are creating additional opportunities.

My guess is that they have three kids. Had those kids between year 5 and year 15 of the marriage. Last kid is recently getting out of the house. Now that all the kids are gone, she realized that they have very little to nothing in common. Last kid has been gone for about 2 to 3 years. This allowed for the time for her to find and cultivate another relationship.

The answer is obvious. She wasn't "happy." But it's also wrong for her to think that her marital partner should provide her with happiness. He can provide her with joy and fulfillment. But happiness? No ... no partner, spouse, etc. should ever carry that weight because happiness is left up to each individual to find happiness on their own.
