[quote=Anonymous]Love all the advice to just stay in awful marriages with someone you do not like, after a certain age, because you're old. So the rest of your life is going to be a whole lot of nothing and you also will be expected to be the caregiver for whoever you are with. You may be a merry widow or widower at 75 or so, if you are not disabled from the caregiving or poor from having to use all your assets to pay for the other person's care. It just proves the ageism that's rampant, your life after 50 or so is not about your own personal happiness. That's reserved for younger people. We always comment on how everybody in Hollywood gets divorced as if it's a negative thing. Well my take is that's the way everybody would live if they had the money to make free choices. I live in a senior area and don't see many happy senior couples, maybe 25%. [/quote]
