Wasn't sure where to put this story but thought it should be shared. I have a coworker female 28 was in a long term relationship with a guy that didn't want to marry but they lived together. They were attempting to have a child but she said their sex life was slowing down and she started to question if he was having an affair. So they planned a vacation and she said if no sex happened she was going back to birth control. Well they had sex but it wasn't the same and while she was contemplating what to do she got pregnant. She said the sex stopped to the point she made the doctor tell him it was ok to have sex. I told her my story and she said we get along fine but we are like room mates. After the baby sex never resumed and she found herself being attracted to a rep that came into the facility often. They worked together quite a bit She finally told him he needed to move out and she started dating the other guy Married him and just had another baby. Her and her ex are still friends. She told me that watching me separate at 51 was an eye opener. She said she didn't want to settle for years only to have to start over at an "old age " Im happy that I inspired her. And I'm happy she is doing so well. A little jealous that I didn't have the courage to leave in the beginning I would have been 37. 37! I could have had more kids dated while I was young and in better shape. I look at my boyfriend and all I can think of is that meme " I wish I would have met you sooner so I could love you longer" I never knew a relationship could be like this that a man could be like this. And I don't mean just the sex. My only regret is not putting myself first sooner.

angeleyes65, I am happy you found your mate that treats you well. WTG, even if it is later in life.

Good to see some young person getting out of their dud marriage.
In our ILIASM group here, I'd suggest that most escapees are 40 +
A poll I put up in July 2018 asking about peoples ages revealed that - 29% were under 40 71% were over 40.
Note - these figures were of members generally, not members who have left specifically.
