[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So you're hearing toward 40 and think you can get a better deal out there. Please be aware of what awaits you out there. For one thing, competing with single, childless 20something women. Men tend to date younger. You will begin to miss the reliability of a stable relationship, you will want again what you threw away. He will move on and find a younger woman, and she will become your children's stepmother. Could you handle another woman's view of how your children should be raised, what's allowable?

Are you willing to blow your children's nuclear family to smithereens because you're bored, and not willing work at being less boring?

Our culture is telling women to walk away as soon as they're bored and can't deal with stability. Your divorced women friends will tell you to go for it, because misery loves company.[/quote]

OP here. I totally agree with this. I just don't know how to make peace with giving up some of my key dreams for my life and marriage without feeling disappointed and resentful. It seems like there is a key life skill of "being happy with what you have and not yearning for more" and I haven't learned it. [/quote]

The life skill is called being a responsible adult/parent.

Unfortunately there are less and less of these type of people in the world.[/quote]
