[quote=Anonymous]I think the 50's are a difficult age for a lot of people. At this point, you've pretty much got your youth behind you and your kids have either left the nest or will leave the nest soon.

Your not a whipper snapper anymore and the idea of starting over in a significant way (new job, place of your own, dating again) might sound exciting.  But I do not think the reality of all of that freedom is as great as it sounds.

Right now, you've got a long term marriage, you celebrate the holidays as a family, you know your husband's favorite foods and what makes him laugh.  You have the comfort and security of knowing what you are going to come home to every day - yes, maybe that's boring, maybe you feel like your stuck in a rut. Maybe you are.  But that is better than having your life turned upside down.

I would suggest doing something good for you - take a class, join weight watchers, start a book club, volunteer.  Maybe look into buying a little getaway cottage that you can use when you feel the need to recharge.[/quote]
