It was a real shock to me when he said it. I was having one of my bad days, one of those days when I refer to the ex- as The Faerie Prince – and my friend stopped me short.
“I used to date a lady,” he said, “who was divorced for the same reason you are. I figure, when those guys do marry, they pick out a Trophy Wife for themselves. You might want to think about that.”
Trophy Wife? MOI????? But I thought about it, and I dug out some old photos, and I thought of the few other women I know who were in this position, and … you know what?
He was right! My friend was right! We are Trophy Wives!
Wow!
Surviving The Rainbow 
Dang, you are right!

Where’s my post? I said I know a man with three children whose wife left him for a woman. Disloyalty happens against faithful men as well.

I don’t know, Carson; this is the first post I’ve seen from you, and the one other Anon. comment on the issue of lesbian ex-wives didn’t mention kids. I hope to do more on that issue, later, but I really think the dynamics are different, for both the lesbian and the male straight spouse, and that’s not the world I know. So, later it must be.

I’d hate to see the theme of this blog diluted with what ought to be a different blog.
