Baby Boomers Guide to Being Jilted for Younger Woman<\/p><\/div>\n


\nElderly Problems by Boomeryearbook.com <\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

As we get older, we definitely become more vulnerable, not only physically but also emotionally. While Baby boomers<\/strong> can reasonably expect to spend their retirement years in the company of the husband or wife they promised to love and honor years before, it does not always work out that way, and the trauma caused by being abandoned for a younger model is often too much to bear.<\/p>\n

The phrase \u2018making a fool of yourself\u2019 with a younger man or woman is bandied around quite frequently amongst baby boomers<\/strong>. It covers a multitude of sins and describes the kind of desperate behavior that an older man might indulge in with a woman young enough to be his daughter or even his granddaughter, or vice versa.<\/p>\n

For the person who has left the relationship, there is the novelty and passion of a new relationship. On many occasions, the relationship flounders and the person ends up back on the market within weeks, sorely disillusioned, financially ruined after spending a lifetime\u2019s savings on a silly and frivolous affair and anxious to get back to the nice, comfortable relationship that existed before his or her aberration; usually too late.<\/p>\n

For the one left behind when a younger partner arrives on the scene, the heartbreak is unbelievably painful and usually represents the worst emotional disaster the person has ever experienced, akin to bereavement and infinitely more humiliating. In fact, if asked the question, most sufferers of this kind of treatment would choose the death of their partner quite cheerfully.<\/p>\n

Some \u2018women scorned\u2019 resort to all kinds of bizarre and vengeful acts; such as \u201ckeying the car\u201d, delivering their collection of vintage wine to the doorsteps of the entire neighborhood; cutting the legs off all the pants that match their business suits (no point cutting the sleeves because the pants could still be used) \u2013 one lady even auctioned her husband\u2019s sports car for $1.50.<\/p>\n

The reaction to shabby behavior for men and women can be vengeful or otherwise but the emotional pain suffered is the same and everyone\u2019s reactions and ways of dealing with the pain vary. There is no doubt some satisfaction can be enjoyed in wreaking havoc in the life of someone who has hurt us but the core of the pain remains and still has to be addressed in order for a healing process to begin. Friends and family are a source of practical help in this kind of situation and leaning on those who love us can be a great comfort.<\/p>\n

\"&quot;Hell

&quot;Hell hath no furry as a woman scorned&quot;<\/p><\/div>\n

Taking the pain out of betrayal is a tall order and no matter how much a jilted baby boomer<\/strong> lover tries to cope with the pain of being turned aside in favor of someone younger, fitter and probably better looking, the reality will not go away. However, some baby boomers<\/strong> turn to professional therapy for help in these distressing moments; an infinitely more civilized approach than emptying the trash can into your ex\u2019s Porsche.<\/p>\n
