Gabe,

I was having a new thought this morning about the young friends your wife was hanging around with. I'm just not so sure it's a sign of anything other than a desire to have someone to hang out with. Things may be different in Florida, but if you primarily relied on your spouse for enjoyable activities, find yourself suddenly single, would like to go looking for some companionship of the opposite sex or at the very least let your hair down but don't want to go alone, and don't want to just stay at home, who do you do these things with? It seems that most married couples have a circle of married friends that also pretty much do things together. A single person is suddenly a third wheel to a married couple, at least in their mind. So you go out with other singles...and that would either include other divorcees' or younger people. In my case I went to the bar with a group of single people last week after volleyball..all of which were in their 20s. Why? Because I don't know any single guys my age and would prefer not to go alone. That was my thought of the day. Do you think I'm going through some sort of crisis?
