[quote=Anonymous]At 40, it's not that easy to date or make friends. If it didn't happen (for whatever reason) and you watch your sibling build a nuclear relationship, it makes you want to fill that void with whatever you do have--which can be relationship with parents, siblings, nieces, and nephews. I would not be so judgmental about her giving up dating. Dating in the app era is hard, and your pickings as a woman in their 40s is pretty slim. People are so closed off especially post-pandemic. It's hard to even make friends as a childfree adult in your 40s since people are so wrapped up in their own lives with their own families. Plus even if she meets someone, she is never going to have her own biological kids at 40 most likely and adoption is not so easy. She's probably deeply sad at some level. If she lives a plane ride away how often is this happening?[/quote]
