I believe God challenges us with every crisis. Its more than just choosing good over evil, we have to learn and grow along the way.

I know you are trying to make sense of your WW but if this is true, and it might be, I guess my WH's OW isn't gonna be satisfied with my WH much now that I am in plan B

As a BW, my favorite part of the linked study is this little snippet:

'Oestradiol levels were negatively associated with a woman's satisfaction with her primary partner.
"Our findings show that highly fertile women are not easily satisfied by their long-term partners and are motivated to seek out more desirable partners," Durante explained. "However, that doesn't mean they're more likely to engage in casual sex. Instead, they adopt a strategy of serial monogamy."

My 'trust bucket' had a hole in it for a few years after the last divorce. I've gotten past that for the most part.

I'm old enough now that my dating pool is starting to include post menopausal women. Go Cougars! wink

52 female undergraduates not using contraception. Participants' ages ranged from 17 to 30 years old.

The study is too small to be significant. IMO.
Plus, the age range selects females who are still selecting mates, in many cases.

That's a good observation.

I was wondering if I should ask the moderators to move this thread somewhere else?
