[quote=Anonymous]It's not going to be easy, but it's not impossible either. I know plenty of widowed or divorced women who are remarried after 40, and very happily. However, I think it does paradoxically get easier as you get further away from 40. Most people in their 40s still have kids at home and are still coparenting. The teen years can be rough on everyone, emotionally, and high school/college kids are expensive. The happy examples I'm thinking of remarried in their 50s after a long period of dating and living separately while launching the kids. My brother divorced at 41 and met a widowed woman with whom he was ecstatically happy. They were like a blissful, first-love, soulmate type of couple. Now they have a blended household of five kids total and everyone is miserable. The teens are angry, angry, angry, the littler ones see the tension and are acting out, and the strain is killing their marriage. [/quote]
