I’ve observed many couples in their 50s and found some interesting patterns.
In their 50s, some female predators still criticize their husbands, though it’s not the most common behavior I’ve observed. What’s more prevalent is the lack of support from many 50+ female predators during tough times. They continue to pressure their husbands to earn more money and to perform physical tasks around the house, garden, or business. This dynamic isn’t sustainable for a man.
Men in their 50s should consider divorce for several reasons:
- They’re still working, so after divorce, they can continue saving money for themselves.
- It’s better to divorce before facing serious health issues. It’s easier to navigate a divorce while in good shape. Plus, dealing with a chronic disease alongside a demanding spouse can be especially challenging.
- In the West, men often overestimate the value of their 50+ wives. They should prioritize their own well-being over maintaining an unsustainable relationship.
If a man doesn’t want to divorce, it will be much more painful to do so in his 60s. He’ll likely have to part with more money, and health issues may complicate matters. Additionally, if he’s retired, a divorce could necessitate returning to work to cover financial losses, especially under a regular wedding agreement.
In fact, it is never too late to get divorced.
