Okay ladies here it is!!!
We ARE going through a midlife crisis! I didn't read anything about single women our age..think we are left out of the studies, and they need to do another study for only single gals our age!
It is all on how we are gonna handle it! Reading books and having support groups with others like us, to help us get through it! It was written that we shouldn't make any drastic changes...like taking baby steps, because we might not like the results of drastic changes. They could be disastrous! Changes should be slow and gradual...so we feel like we're in control of ourselves and our futures.
I think I'm going to look for one in my area or start my own group for us single gals
50 and up! Until then ladies...let's keep talking about this, and come up with some good ways to handle this! What do you think???

hey Tru @ 49 I feel some of things in which you speak. I had to meditate on this one!
our society teaches altruism.and the powers that be are always fighting :depresion ,drugs,poverty,pollution while fleecing the productive members.
(about the above) Damn i already have a contradiction in my life and I am @ home!
Human virtue is good but to many play on this!
Sounds like you became angry with sacrifice 16 years ago,and are one of the productive members of society!
good for you,now give up on love @ first sight,needing the handsome escort,and find someone that supports your entillectual needs without comprimise, and build your love.
I am a lonely sob @ times,kinda scoutin!
goodluck, ren jmo!
pk,53,tru gotta chuckle from above thanks!as I find myself on this crazy forum doin a double take.

awwwwwww man.. I didn't want a midlife crisis lol Are you sure that is what it is? I thought that was when a man reaches an age and wishes he was younger.. and that isn't what I'm going through

Are they saying that a Midlife Crisis, is the same as
Change of Life?
I went through my change of life in my 30's.
I've been happily alone for over 17 years.
I really thought that's how I wanted to finish out my life.
Recently I was on the Internet and saw a link to this Dating Site...lol
for some unknown reason I clicked on it.
My sister has asked me why all of a sudden I was doing this.
I really didn't have an answer. I just told her out of curiousity.
The truth is... I think I've changed my mine, about spending my remaining years
alone. I think the majority of us would love to have a marriage like our
grandparents. Although I know there are some people that don't mind being alone,
the majority of us would love to grow old with someone we love.
I think it just hits us harder the older we get.
I do wonder though, if folks our age have way to much baggage to start all over.
No matter what I decide to do, coming to this Site has helped me in so many ways.
I have tons of friends through Incredimail (animation), but this is about something totally different. I can't count how many times I've laughed, and or cryed reading stuff in these forums. I'm so glad I clicked on that link. LOL
I also want to thank Dustin for having this Site, to bring us all together!!
Hugs,
Kitty

Hold the boat ren! Noooooooo.. I am not angry in the least about the last 16 years!!! Absolutely not! I did not sacrifice anything that I did not want to willingly. That was the life I chose at the time. I had my 2 sons to raise alone, run a farm alone, had a business I had to run.. but never did I resent any of it. It's just that now.. I no longer want that choice. I can see all that I yearn for ahead of me.. but.. I just can't seem to reach it.

I think it's the realization that we are getting older and don't want to spend the rest of our lives alone. Earlier, the kids were in and out. So ya weren't really alone. But now they have lives of their own and it puts a void in us.

here paula.. have a beer with me lol
I don't know that it's a crisis kind of thing. I think it's just my heart and soul waking up in a whole new way.. and is pleading with the rest of me to follow
It is definitely a void... and I definitely want to fill it. THIS is now my choice

Just knowing that I am not the only one is a good thing. Maybe it's just plain craving for the kind of life that I know is out there is all this is. My soul runs very deep, my heart beats loudly when it has something to say to me. I think they have been urging me for quite some time and I just ignored it. I guess they do not want to be ignored any longer
