1. Be a mentor

It’s a Wednesday night, and my boyfriend and I are drinking wine and making out in the back booth of a dimly lit bar. It feels like nothing else in the world exists… until my phone vibrates.“It’s my husband. The kids are in bed,” I say, then put my phone in my purse and pull my boyfriend toward me. I spend half a second staring at the diamond on my engagement ring before hiding my hand from my sight line. It’s not a secret that I’m married, but it’s also not something I want to think about right now.

It made one woman's marriage stronger, but her route was anything but traditional.I’d never been a relationship girl, so I was shocked when, at age 20, I was swept off my feet by a smart, spiky-haired musician boy. We got engaged within weeks, and married when I was 22 and he was 21. On the surface, everything seemed perfect: We were young, we were in love, and we had amazing chemistry.

I HIT SEND: I EMAILED A STRANGER TO TELL HER I WAS SLEEPING WITH HER BOYFRIEND

Despite evidence to the contrary, I believed he was leaving her. When he didn't, I took matters into my own hands.“Dear Natalie,” I typed. My fingers froze over the keys. Was I really prepared to tell this woman I had never met that I’d been sleeping with her boyfriend? I continued: “I’m Rob’s teaching assistant, and I’ve been having an affair with him. He lied to me about you. It’s over, and I’m sorry.

What do you do when your divorced friends start having incredible sex with gorgeous younger men? Join in on the fun. As my friends and I approached 40, 10 or so years into marriage, the divorces began, first a trickle, then a torrent. Divorce hardly has a great reputation— gone are the high-flying days of the ’70s, when a generation of women fled stifling, loveless marriages to gloriously (supposedly) find themselves— but seeing breakups at close vantage was still sobering: There were legal battles, emotional battles, even physical battles.

Dating men of any age presents its own unique set of challenges: In high school you get fumbling boys, confused about where to put their body parts in relation to yours, despite their over-eagerness for the proximity. In their twenties men want to have as much sex with as many different women as possible.
