So yeah, just found out my Dad walked on my Mom after 38 years of marriage. Good times
Man. I don't get that shit. 38 years together, just cohabit if things are rough. Makes retirement finances hard and everyone gets bitter.

Sorry, man. Hope things go smoothly.

38 years together, he's about 60-65, guessing there's a 40 year old woman involved in this somehow.

You on good terms with your parents? If so, just hug them both and tell them to work shit out because neither of them are living with you or they both are.

Yeah, I'm with Cad, it's got to be another woman.

At least from anecdotal experience after you're married that long, men usually only leave for a hotter/younger piece, while women usually leave because they don't want to take care of their aging husband and/or she doesn't need to be financially dependent on him anymore.

Either way, you're an adult, so look at the bright side that it didn't happen when you were 10.

Look up the articles on silver splitters. It's actually getting very common. You have a wave of baby boomers still coming to terms with divorce, they've finished careers and kids and there's nothing functional left to keep them together so they separate finally to pursue their own interests.

Makes sense if you know or are in the families I know, just general situation and generational disposition/values. "Stay together for the kids" turned into late 40s and 50s with huge home equity bankroll for happiness and then recession necessitated staying together for financial stability. It's just getting to the point where they realize they have nothing in common, the home equity slush fund is gone but they've righted the ship enough income wise to sail apart.

Ding ding ding this man wins a prize. Apparently my Dad decided to run off with his 43 year old boss. She has a yacht, and 2 houses. So he upgraded at least

Nice. Tell your dad you forgive him if you get time-share on the yacht for use as a pussy magnet. Double bonus if your new stepmom to be has a hot daughter.

This is my version of "looking at the bright side"

BTW, I just realized. Where the fuck has Wormie been?? Did his wife put a bullet in his head?

Not sensing a lot of integrity from that fellow. I would not expect an update.

Wormie is living for the rest of us. Of course, before he was married to a hot blonde doctor who wanted to fuck all the time so he was living the dream before as well.

Hot blonde doctor that wanted to fuck all the time and let him do whatever he wanted, like quite his job and play video games and pursue whatever other hobbies he had.

That poor fuck, no wonder he stepped out with the young 20 something crazy chick.

Or if the 43 year old boss is hot enough, move in on his dad's new territory and take it for himself. That is what I would do if I was in his shoes, seeing as how he most likely cheated before leaving.

My dad started dating a younger woman and she looks like she got hit in the face by a dump truck. No idea what the man is thinking.

Maybe because he only has one ball it clouds his judgment.
