At 50 years plus is it too late for a relationship?
I am 52 female, divorced in my early thirties after getting married for less than a year. For many years I held on to the thinking that if a second relationship comes it will just come, and never put in any effort to try look for one.
I had 2 relationships, both divorcees..1 for 9 months and the other long distance for 4 years. It ended because he had mental health issues and his family thinks it not fair for me to continue.
So now I m 52, single and contemplating.
Friends told me I should just live my life as it is, as relationships these days is tough n worse at this age, the ppl that I meet might just be there for monetary benefits or not looking to really for something long term.
These are from ppl who meant well I guess. But like to know what everyone or anyone else thinks.

- Don’t live with regrets else you will be wondering the “what ifs” for a long time.
- When you asked the question, it tells me you are lonely and yearning for companionship.
If that’s the case, age should not be an issue. Just to note is, don’t expect fairy tales stories. It’s a bonus if it really happens. See what comes along and if you are able to accommodate.
Just make sure you keep your money safe. Heartache won’t take your life as long as you value yourself. But if money gone and getting old, you probably hope you are better off dead. Don’t put yourself in that position. - I would say it is never too late..I have come across news articles of people who found new love after their spouses passed on when they are after 50s or 60s.
Most important is to be happy. Perhaps you can socialise more as well to meet new friends . - Do what makes you happy! Your friends have valid concerns but how can they be so sure it will be the case?
I have heard of couples getting married in their 50s-60s and they’re so sweet.
Anyway you cannot force a relationship if both of you are incompatible/do not have chemistry.
So if anyone right comes along the way and has no red flags and u feel happier with the person then why not?
Don’t have to purposely find, but do put yourself out there so u can be found.
All the best!
