I'm really 56 and married now to my 4th wife for the past 3 yrs (not 8th LOL).
Cliff notes - 1st 2 wives wanted kids a yr or 2 AFTER we got married. I didn't change, they did.
No compromise on that , so we divorced.
Last one was bored of me and/or being married and wanted to have an "open marriage".
I knew what that was about so I divorced her. That one lasted 8 yrs.
being 56 I can understand that you don't want to be alone. That being said, you haven't experienced heart and soul love. I dunno. My dad died over 10 years ago, lung cancer. My parents were together for 30 years, and my mom hasn't had any man after him and she doesn't even want one. No she's not a hoe, she's been by herself and she's happy the way it is. She told me the thought of another man is unnatural, and I agreed.
In fact, I find it odd that middle age plus people are searching for love, or "just someone" to die with, I find it kind of sick in a way. But I get it, people get lonely.
Is it impossible to be single for you?
