Also
Divorce has become less stigmatized
In my parents's and uncles' generation, all stayed married til death.
But but but, many of my uncles had mistresses.
One had several lovers at different times
Another had one mistress for 30 yrs!
Sad
Huge Latin macho mentality
Rare was the man without a kept woman
None of my aunts worked One of them did not know how to write a check after my uncle died.
My parents, as far as we knew, had a loving marriage
My dad was devastated when mom passed
Widowhood did not suit him.
