When you don't have a service anymore, your kids are busy in the life of their own... Isn't this the time when you actually spend with your partner leisurely, with no actual responsibilities? I've seen my grandparents so in love and living their life to the fullest that it really feel bad if someone takes a divorce decision so much later in their lives.. All the very best to them though :)
You are right, that should be the ideal. Having a life companion, etc. The issue is that a lot of men in their 50’s or even 60’s have their mid life crisis and think they can relive their youth by messing with younger women. By that time the poor wife is probably dealing with her own menopausal issues so some will let it slide if they don’t want « it » anymore or just don’t have the patience anymore to deal with the shit they took on when the kids were around. Hence why a lot of couples break down quite late.
