    I'm sorry to hear about your divorce. I can imagine that must be very painful to be going through at this stage of your life.

    I would suggest you just keep the status quo for now. I know the first reaction is to jump into a relationship, to make you feel better, to feel wanted, to distract you. But I think it's really important right now to just get to know yourself. Reflect on the marriage-- what worked and what didn't. It's a time to heal and grow emotionally. I'd suggest stepping out of your comfort zone-- take a class, find a new hobby, etc. Just learn to enjoy your own company first. That way, down the line a bit, you will be a whole person for a new mate, if that's what you want. You won't be reacting on the rebound or reacting to emotions left over from your marriage.

    As far as her being half your age, it's cliche, but I guess whatever floats your boat.

    Sorry to hear your wife is leaving you, but why would you specifically look for a younger woman? I am a woman & I agree with the comments of MB. What happens if she gets bored & wants a younger man? You will have to start all over again. She may very well be looking for money & stability. Don't look with an age in mind, as a matter of fact, don't look at all. Twenty five years is a long time. Let the break up sink in & enjoy living on your own & reconnecting with yourself. You may be surprised to find that your trigger thoughts of wanting a younger girlfriend are not what you want at all, but when you do find someone new, you can be sure, it is what you actually want & not a rebound action brought on by your current breakup. Good luck... you will make the right decision.

    If that's what you want, go for it. You might want to keep in mind those ageless words you've probably heard throughout life: The grass is not always greener on the other side of the fence. A young chick will only be interested in you for money and stability. She will eventually start looking for a younger man. Then what?
