I am 80 years old. I have been unhappily married for 62 years. Is it too late to get a divorce? Is there really no point?

Remember, 80 is the new 60...and if you're healthy and active, you've still got some good miles left. So go for it. On the other hand, the two of you have survived together this long, and that during a time when divorce has become increasingly easier. So there are some advantages in staying together. If you're seriously considering, think about finances, living accommodations, and what kind of social life you want and would be able to have as a single person. Do some planning. You're old enough to have the experience, and wisdom, to give this move serious consideration. Good luck.

Why in the world have you stayed in an unhappy relationship for 62 years? It is never too late to be happy I dont care if you are 80 or 180. Everyone chooses a path to go in their lives, you cant change the past but you can choose what you want for the future. Go with what your heart tells you.

That is up for you to decide only. Only you know how you feel . But I applaud you for being strong and realizing its not working and your miserable. I read an article about the disney family a few months back this man was in his 70's and wasn't happy with his marriage either and even though he had to give his ex half his fortune ( as he didnt' have a prenup back in those days) he was more than happy to do so. he probably realized time is short in life and the time he has left he rather be enjoying it. now whether you want another woman or not its still good to know you would be happier on your own if your that unhappy. you will have to way the pro's and cons and see for yourself which would make you happier. think of worst situation and if you can still do it then its time to go on your way. life is short a shame you should be miserable for another 25 years. you have a lot of making up to do start enjoying your life. we only go around once here.

Well, whatever time you have left on this earth...don't you want to spend that time being happy?
I think that if this relationship is toxic to you and is preventing you from leading a sane and healthy life, then at least, a separation is in order.
What does your spouse feel at this point? Does he too want to divorce?
Maybe this is something a bit of talking or mediation can handle. IT may not be the end of a marriage but the redefinition of why you two married to being with.
Think it over before making a large decision such as this....

Soubborn old goat of a husband must have had qualities you loved about him. Something made you stay. However to be happy is something everyone deserves. Be happy and TRULY search your heart out before doing anything drastic.
