Dear Abby: Two-timing husband is sent packing for the second time

DEAR ABBY: My husband, "Albert," divorced me three years ago. Afterward, I found out he was with a 28-year-old woman he had met in a bar. After she took him for what little money he had, he came crawling back to me. Like a fool, I stupidly took him back because I still had feelings for him.

Last week, I caught Albert on the Internet inviting a 23-year-old woman to play bingo over the weekend. Then I discovered another email indicating he had actually met her.

I kicked him out, of course. Albert never supported me; I always paid my own way.

We were together for 22 years, Abby, and now I wish I had every one of them back.

Why do old men search for young women to run around with, and why do young women think all old men have money?

DEAR USED: Older men like young women because it helps them forget, for a little while, how old they really are. Also, young women tend to be more naive and less judgmental, assuming that gray temples are a sign of wisdom. They also assume that after decades in the workforce an older man has a sizable nest egg.

You are not the only woman who has listened to her heart and made the same mistake twice — or more. Consider yourself ahead of the game because you are not economically dependent on your husband. Take the lessons you have learned, move on and have a happy life. You deserve it.

You'll be fine without this compulsive two-timer. Trust me!
