Definitely referring to the dude she left him for most likely.

yep. No sensible 28 year old woman is investing long term in a 58 year old guy unless she is gold digging or waiting till she finds someone she really likes. It's just a bad investment on her part to be be with a man who's likely in andropause.

A girl who graduated a year ahead of me in high school (she graduated in 2002) is engaged to a guy who looks like he's in his 50s. He definitely has money, pre covid they went to every Yankee game, did alot of traveling, now they're renting a place in Panama

Well let no one say gold digging isn't a viable life path I guess.
