This is in the original quote. The kids grew up. Aries was simply a decent man and did not leave his wife, blamed only for not fit each other, with a baby in his arms until the need for it disappeared. Everything is banal and simple.

As a woman who has been in a similar situation, I will say that it is better to leave a aunt while she is not quite old, then she still has a chance to meet a person with whom she can build a relationship, even with children.
and a woman over 45 is many times more difficult, in addition, the children grew up and the husband left - she doesn't need anyone at all
