    Male forum friendly reasoning would be, Younger women = fertility, thus men 'naturally' attracted to younger women. ''it's biology, bro''

    The blue dyed hair reply would be ''Of course, patriarchy wonna begin the exploitation as early as possible!''

    I have heard of this research but only see in the west, where the living conditions of women is little better. In India, in many of extended friends circle of PILs and Ps, women die first. Naturally, women should live longer, but they don't in India.
    If the circle is a little educated (elitist kind in India) then the women live longer.

    Women in India die due to lack of medical care, lack of finances, lack of control over anything in their life and around it.

    Since, Indian men find women dispensable, they keep going to younger pool. Western men are more in cave man phase- they are actually attracted to younger women.

    Ghosting is "the practice of ending a personal relationship with someone by suddenly and without explanation withdrawing from all communication."

    In the case of OP in that thread, there were arguments, shouting and throwing things in anger. If one person in such a marriage opts for a divorce, would it be called ghosting? Isn't the reason for ending the relationship clear enough?

    Does every relationship's end deserve a formal final face-to-face? Is it always safe to engage in such face-to-face? If I were advising a woman (or man) going through a relationship where things were thrown around in anger, I would tell her/him "do what it takes to protect yourself, initiate a divorce, communicate with the soon-to-be-ex only through lawyers or if needed through friends, and avoid meeting in person if you don't feel safe or comfortable."

    One's own emotional sanity and physical safety comes before the other person's need for a formal closure.

    Yes, indeed. Years ago, I recall how husbands in tenuous marriages all over America took to hiding kitchen knives at night, so that they can sleep peacefully:

    Hence the blessing to married women: "Sada suhagan raho!"

    It's a bit morbid, especially when said to a bride at her wedding. And she's expected to smile politely and be grateful for the blessing.

    A chronic-painful condition, incapacity, or early buyout from life ---of a partner, are all terrible in a loving relationship.

    Checking out (of life) earlier than the partner is a conspiracy to load the partner with gobs of unfinished bizness. People who had been executors of wills may have experienced this pain. [in the case of Winnie and the Piglet, they'd have no problems, because they don't even own a full set of clothes for each of them :tongueclosed:] Older men marrying younger women may even be a cunning scheme to leave the woman behind so that she'd take care of the estate and the feuding children.

    The wedding blessing could be a challenge to beat-the-odds if she can.

    This probably made sense in the older days when women weren’t working and we’re financially dependent on husbands. Also the lives they lived as widows were pretty harsh. Meanwhile, the men were free to marry again .
