That’s exactly right. Based on an divorce site that I was part of for awhile, women like this get the most upset if their ex-husband that they dumped ends up marrying as well or even upwards from the woman in question.
Men’s relative choices get better with age, not worse.
Particularly from about 35 on.
Women still think of themselves as they were at 20 and will not be satisfied with less than Prince Charming, not realizing that Prince Charming will be going for younger women, but may settle for her for a one-night if he's got nobody better lined up.
Women whine "why didn't he call?", and the answer they don't want to hear is "he found someone better than you".
