So what does it look like when this rather
sizable chunk of the population gets back on its
post-divorce horse?

Its kinda weird. I know I was married for ten
years, but I think I sort of ignore that
sometimes aside from my kids, its like that
never happened. So I sorta feel like I should be
ten years younger than I am.

He has real responsibilities and concerns like
child support and making partnerbut part of him
doesnt understand how he could possibly be that
old!
Isnt he fresh out of college? Cant he go out
whenever and stay out as late as he wants? What
do you mean he needs to find a babysitter?

He was almost out of debt paying off his house
and his car and now well, divorce aint cheap.

He tries to keep up on the current music, but at
home, he still has all his vinyl. He loves the

different from men his age who are still married.
He cares about his job, he cares about his kids,
he thinks about retirement, he has a certain
nostalgia for his youth but the big difference
is his attachment to that nostalgia. For the
Re-Bachelor, the good ol days are still here
or at least they should be!
11
It is his sense of disconnectedness his sense
of being the wrong age or somehow outside of
time that sets the Re-Bachelor apart.

I know I dont act like Im 38 but I am 38.
And I dont want to be alone when Im 40.
