[quote=Anonymous]I am a woman in my early 50s. I have been happily married for more than 20 years to someone 9 years older than me and I cannot imagine dating again, should I ever become widowed or single. It seems like a lot of effort, starting again from zero. I think I would be worried that I would become a useful 'tool' in the new family if the next guy has adult kids and grandkids. Whether you're male or female, once you become part of a new, established family in midlife you risk falling into the role of babysitter, taxi driver, organizer, household administrator, handyman, and possibly caregiver to very elderly inlaws who are basically strangers. My DH and I never had kids and I think I would find it hard to take on someone else's adult kids, let alone their grandkids.[/quote]
