I really want to believe that there will be a reason to live after divorce at that age.

It is hard starting over at any age but very hard and awkward when you are older, but there single people out there waiting to meet someone..Just take it easy and test the water..It feels so strange at first..it is like being a teenager again, in an older body.

No, at 55 it isn't to late for you to find a nice lady and have a date.
Far as sex where you capable of having sex before you were divorced?. There are a lot of men that very sexual active at 70 or 80 with a little help of Viagra, I've heard some Men say at that age they didn't need anything to help them. 55 is really not that old and I'm sure you not ready to hear the fat lady sing. You need to go out find you someone and find out if you need any kind of stimulation. I've heard older men say that are some women that they are attracted to can make them have a better sex life then they have ever had. The woman turns them on by her moves and just her looks, so guess what. Happy day Are Here Again.
Have Yourself Merry Little Christmas

I think there are more older single women out there than you realize. Probably divorced too, but still out there. The fear of being alone crosses my mind when I think about divorcing my husband and I'm 34 and faintly hear the fat lady singing as well. What I can offer you is the advice I should probably take myself and that is don't jump to the letter z before starting with A. Learn to live your life on your own again and make yourself happy first. And, just take one day at a time. Don't try to see the end of the movie before the previews. Best Wishes.

Congratulations. You are about to become single again, and won't have that old ball and chain nagging at you anymore.
There is life after divorce at the age of 55. What you need to do is enjoy your new found freedom. Don't jump right into a new relationship. Hell enjoy your freedom.
Dating will be an option, but don't get hooked up right away, play the field, there are lots of men & women our age out there looking for a relationship with a man that is your age. One perk is there are alot of younger people in their 20's, 30's looking for an older more experienced partner to share life with. They are all over the internet on dating sites and right here at yahoo personals.
I'm 52 and have met many women on the internet, I even married my wife whom i met on the internet. She's a young, beautiful intelligent highly placed government official, and we've been together for years. I've never been happier in my life.
Opportunities now for single older divorced folks are many.
Enjoy and good luck with your soon to be new found freedom.

Yes , dating and sex will be an option . I was single for many years married my husband when he was 61and I was 48. I never thought age was a issue . It's more about finding someone you can be comfortable with and respect and be respected. There is very much reason to live. Even if you don't find anyone right away there is friends and family that care for you.Now is the time to try new things. Go new places . I really wish you all the luck in the world. Be happy just for you!

More than a reason to live, I think you will find that women have grown up.
As long as you stay in your age group and don't try to romance the young ones, I think you will have the experience of seeing us as creatures that have evolved into people you can take your problems to, women that want to be with men who have lives, who aren't perfect, who make an honest effort and who can see beyond sex for sex sake.
No fat lady for you unless that's the option you choose. Life is what you make it sweetheart. But there are more women out there in your age group than men, so take heart, get a haircut, buy a few new things to wear and shave. It's not over until you lay it down.
Happy hunting and welcome back!

I am answering this assuming your a man (your name). Take it from a middle aged women who would love to find a decent man your age. There is life after divorce, IF you remain a decent man and don't become one of those pigs who are only out to see how many women they can have sex with. No decent middle aged women wants a man like that. Good luck to you. It isn't easy but well worth it if you are true to yourself and your beliefs. Don't compromise for anyone!

Absolutely. Dating and sex are still kicking, even at the age of 55yrs old. Find a good bar, make some friends. You may even find good potential there! Don't worry though, because bars are not always full of creepy drunk guys who won't remember you in the morning. There are the regs, who just like going to have a couple drinks, meet up with friends, and relax.

Sweetie, it's all up to YOU as to what your life will be! If you want to sit back and cry the blues over love gone wrong and oh woe is me then you probably won't have much of a life. If you choose to see this as a new beginning and a new opportunity to make a great life for yourself then I'm sure that's what you'll do. Don't be desperate though and take up with the first Joe that looks your way out of fear of ending up alone. Go out with your friends. Have fun. Re-discover you and what you like to do. Travel. You don't need a man to do these things with and likewise you don't need a man to define you or complete you. Don't look at this as the glass half empty. Look at it as half full. You have many years left to enjoy, God willing. YOU make them what you want them to be!
God bless you!
