[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I divorced at 52, and am the better for it. I could not see spending the rest of my life trying to make a sorry marriage better, or staying married for "social" reasons.  I ended it so have always been seen as the "bad guy" by my kids and my previous social set, but it was the most liberating thing I could have done! There was a sizable discrepancy in income that made the decision easier too.[/quote]

Did you have a job or career that you enjoyed before the divorce? Were you financially stable? This is what I'm worried about. After 32 years I just found out that my DH cheated on me a 2nd time in 2 years and now I need to figure out to do. If I was courageous and had a better job I'd leave now. I'm 59 so new job prospects are slim. Both kids are grown. My therapist is insisting that I write down what I want out of life or what life would like (whether or not it included DH). I can imagine myself much happier and less stressed without him but then I think about the financial aspect and I get freaked.
