[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 40, I went through a long and difficult divorce.

My life isn't fabulously better, but it's perfectly fine. I'm interested in dating but given my marriage experience and my working in family law, the red flags can't slip by anymore.

But my kids are happy and doing well, my home is calm, and I feel much more confident - much less scared of anything. I feel... experienced? Like I've had many complex experiences and now I prefer a very specific type of person who lives similarly to me.

As a parent, friend, relative, contractor - I'm a better person since my divorce, my personality has shifted and changed in many ways I'm thankful for. Grief has been difficult but I'm mostly through that now and feel like my future is wide open, and not so incredibly limited and shoved in a box as it used to be.[/quote]

I could have written the same, though I divorced at 48. It's not that my life is better now, it's just different and it's fine- my life is calm, peaceful, with moments of joy and moments of grief, but I feel good. [/quote]
