[quote=Anonymous]I'm one of the earlier posters who said it can be really hard.  I posted, not to depress you, but to assure you that it's not just you - others are in the same boat.

That said, I do know divorced moms who have gone on to find happiness after divorce/kids.  They are generally the women who are comfortable with the idea of online dating.  The main problem with dating as a non-20-something is that when you go out, there aren't a lot of singles in your age range like there were when you were 25.  Which is why online is helpful - those 40-somethings might not be in the bar where you are, but maybe in a different one.  Or they might not be bar people, but they'd meet you somewhere if you found them online.

For those who are scared to separate or divorce out of fear of remaining alone: you might not find anything better.  You can't let that be the reason you stay, though.  Either you're happy enough in your marriage or you aren't.  You shouldn't stay in a bad marriage out of fear of being alone.  And you shouldn't leave a decent marriage determined to find someone "better" because you really might not.  You have to evaluate your marriage on its own merits, not against some hypothetical dating scene.[/quote]
