It only gets better. I was divorced for years, then at the ripe age of 48, I met the man I should of met when I was 21. We dated for 2 years and have been married a little over 1 year. I now know what true love is, I never had it before when I thought I did. Don't give up hope, age has nothing to do with it, there is a right person for everyone and there is no age too old to find them. Good luck to you.

I was legally separated at 35 (he left our son and I when I was 34). It was hard to get back into dating - I had never anticipated going through this. It's been an adjustment but there are some good people out there on the market still. I think those that are out there (most of 'em not by choice) are wiser and appreciate things differently the second time around. It's the ones that are out there by choice (the liars and the cheats - a man that tells you he cheated on his ex will cheat on you, too, because he knows he can get away with it and move on to his next victim) that you really have to watch out for. Just take it slow and don't try to rush anything. Get comfortable with yourself before you try to get into a serious relationship with anyone - you'll be better for it later.
Good luck.

Being without my ex is great.
However, right now and for the last 6 yrs. I have been alone. I was married at 18 divorced at 34. I don't miss him but I don't like being alone.

I have been divorced for 17 years now. I have loved every minute of it. But the first major relationship after that was a "killer." That was one I am glad I am out of.
But now I am enjoying my "relationship" with my ex-husband. He is a good guy we just got married for the wrong reasons. If we lived closer we would be friendly (I hope!)
Good luck to you!

I wonder the same thing, soon to be divorced myself. Is it tough to get back on the open market? I do however look forward to this new found freedom!

It's probably the best age for a new beginning. Never been divorced but I imagine more brains less testosterone, and pockets not half empty but half full.

It's a hell of a lot better than divorce at age 50....

You'll learn that this time around you will find the love of your life because you are looking at it from the perspective of maturity and experience. Enjoy! It's great.
