Thoughts on men leaping into second marriages and babies

I'm intrigued more than anything...

My ex husband of 25 years had an affair, got the lady pregnant and got married with the year. We have children together who are in their twenties. He now has toddlers and is 55 years old.

I've noticed that a few of our friends are in the same scenario. Husband has affair with younger woman, gets her pregnant and marries immediately. The ex wives, on the other hand, seem happy on their own, lose weight, take up the gym/yoga and enjoy not having to wake up to a grumpy man each morning.

Do you think men just need to be "needed"? I can't for one moment imagine that my ex thought he'd be changing nappies again at 55? !

Any man who does this would get cut out of my life, including my dad.
It's grotesque

The best scenario I witnessed was as a late teen I babysat for a family. Wife was stunning lovely and thoughtful. The dh cheated on her with numerous younger work colleagues and she found out and ended the marriage. She asked me to babysit. The dh was there seeing their kids. A gorgeous man turned up to collect her 😁. The dh actually had an adult tantrum as the wife and date drove off. Absolutely hilarious.

God that is enraging.. so he's allowed to cheat and she can't date men even though she's single.. they are so gross these men, want their cake but want the ex wife to stay pure
