A 40 something year old with a toddler and two other young kids will not be a hot commodity on the dating market. It will take some time but eventually she will more than likely realize what she left behind.
This is might provide some solace in the moment, but is it true? How many stories on here did the WAS/WS walk right into a LTR. My ExW has been living with OM2 for a year and a half now, living in a house my ExW bought across the street from his sister, one big happy family, and I have to smile and listen as my young daughter uses his pet name. DnJ's ExW 4-5 years. Ginger1's ExH 14. Just to name a few. My daughter was barely a toddler and Ginger's an infant at the time and it didn't stop OM2 or OW. Guess I'm using Tosh_T's thread to vent a bit, but it really does seem like the WAS/WS fall backward into what they want whereas the LBS is left in the lurch. Yeah, I know "life's not fair move on" and all but it certainly seems sometimes all the good luck goes to the WAS/WS.

I share your anger. All these sitches are awful.

It's hard sometimes having gone through what we did to see the point of marriage. There really is no guaranteed commitment.
