[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree with a previous poster about an optimal window. I come from a long line of marriages that lasted, but all parties were miserable. So I had a slightly warped vision of what a marriage should be, and I married someone who fit that mold when I was 26. Shocker - it sucked. I was on my own with two kids at 37. To say the pool looks different now at 40 is a gross understatement. I believe I’ll find someone again, but I don’t expect it to be easy nor am I willing to make remarriage my vocation when I’ve grown to love my freedom so much. Age can force a shift in how you view marriage, and I simply don’t want the same things anymore. However, if you’re serious about marriage you need to go at it hard. Look into matchmaking services. Ask your friends to set you up. And be open to men who have children, ex-wives, or an disconcertingly long record of bachelorhood. There are good men out there. [/quote]

I'm the PP who is 48 and widowed.  I agree with everything that you wrote.  Though I had a wonderful marriage, I am not looking to get remarried at my age.  I have been widowed for three years and I am finally at a point where I feel happy most days and enjoy spending time with my daughters, family and friends.  I hope to find a new partner again though and hopefully have a long-term relationship with someone who enjoys some of the same things that I do.  And yes, I don't expect this to be easy at all and my expectations in a new partner are definitely lower than they would have been when I was first married.[/quote]
