Contrary to what the ads decry, time does not go backwards unfortunately. There is no fountain of youth to be found at cosmetic counters, although there are many potions and lotions purported to reduce signs of aging. Likewise, dieting, exercise, and elimination of harmful habits will do much to extend the life cycle.
However, what concerns me most about your question is the idea that only the young can find love. We're talking love, not necessarily sex, although the two generally go together. But let's for the moment, just concentrate on love. When two people meet and there is chemistry, age doesn't really enter into the picture. I do volunteer work at a nursing home, and you wouldn't believe how many of the elderly people who are in reasonably good health, team up together. I know a lot of elders who have eschewed marriage for cohabitation, and they live happily ever after. One fellow remarked to me that he and his beloved, both septuagenerians, were "living in sin", and he laughed when he said it. So you're never too old to find romance, and I seriously doubt that you're that old anyway.
There's a saying that you're only as old as you feel. Know what? I'm still 19 in my heart, though I've long passed college age. I don't think I'd ever want to relive those younger, traumatic years. With age comes wisdom and experience. That's what mature women look for. And I know plenty of handsome hunks who no longer have to worry about being carded when they go into a bar. You know who I consider to be my matinee idol? Clint Eastwood -- attractive in an older, craggy sort of way. So quit worrying about age or looks. It's really what's inside the head that counts in affairs of the heart. Good luck!

I don't understand the problem. You have no kids with this guy and you think you made a mistake. So go live in that place you live in town and don't go home on the weekends. Stop making payments to the house you make more money than he does, tell him its time to separate because you changed your mind about the living arrangements. He offered to reverse the vasectomy but you said no and now you want a child, you have way too many conflicts. You are not on the same page as he and you sound like you are too set in your ways at age 40. I suggest you do not adopt now, unless you want an older child like 8 -10 year range. At 40 years old if you try to adopt an infant you will be in your 60s before they graduate from school. Personally I think you are not emotionally stable to raise a child, find some volunteer work to do on your days off and fill it with helping others, even schools and churches need help with children. Better to babysit, do childcare or something with kids to fill that need but to have one now would be selfish of you. You sound like the type once you had a child for a few years you would change your mind and you can't just walk away or divorce an adopted child.

Traditional Shaolin-style Tai-Chi and Kung Fu. Coupled with some Reiki, it is the veritable fountain of youth.
And just because 20 goes into 80 a heck of a lot more than 80 goes into 20 does not in the least mean you cannot love again . . . .

You cannot reverse the ageing process. All you can do is to slow it down a bit with a healthy lifestyle. Plenty of antioxidants will help.
Sounds like you should watch some science fiction movies. Anything is possible in science fiction.

With your charms,
you could alarm,
the arms and socks off an octopus.
Don't be suckered and worry over age,
how I wonder do you feel pucker,
its all a matter of sage.

Time, and what you do with is very important.
Stay in your heart. As much as possible, use humor and music. (ring any bells, Bard?)
Continue to be a champion and you will feel all those scattered parts start to gather, and your strength renewed.
I could literally cut and paste the answer that you gave on my question, you know it well; and just need the world to reflect it back to you. So here....
Love Still.

True love is not measured in age, it's a heart thing!

Age is just a number. You are only as old as you feel.
In other words, you must follow your heart, not your mirror
