Maybe it has to do with freedom, being stuck with one woman, maybe that is harder to accept for men in their mid-late thirties?

Oh, Kristin (my divorced daughter's name, BTW), I think you're either looking for much too easy of an answer -- or are looking for something wrong in these two men because their wives are your friends. You may be only getting their side of the story. Understandable.
Nothing in life is that simple though, I'm afraid.
Although I would never ask her, my very strong suspision is that, although the divorce was reasonably amicable, it was our daughter who walked away. Nothing sinister, it (and he) just wasn't what she expected.
In any event, it isn't fair to assume fault in the situations with your friends unless you lived with them and are absolutley sure.
I also think it is almost always a mistake to have a third child in order to "round out" a family. There's a 50/50 chance there (I think we can agree that pretty accurate) of a big disappointment if that's the reason for "trying again." That can be a huge stress as well.
