I was phoned by a friend today who has found a new lovely relationship aged 50 with two grown up children. He is 55 -two grown up children and a very amicable ex wife who is remarried. They live together but socialise with all for children -hot tub etc. All 4 kids are happy that mum and dad have found each other and all get along well. She met him in a bookshop 2 years ago where she kept going in and browsing the travel section every saturday in Waterstones and he did the same. After 3 bump in and chats whilst looking at books in said section he invited her for a cuppa in Costa next door and the rest is history. They brought a project house together (6 bedrooms) a year ago jointly and have done it up. She was married to an awful nasty piece of work about 20 years ago and he gave her years of hell raising the kids (her kids have no contact with dad now through choice). She's just phoned me to say they are getting married. I'm really pleased for her. She said 'Not quite Last Tango In Halifax but I never thought it would happen for me -ever.' She concentrated solely on the kids until they went to university -never herself. So I'm so so happy for her. Anyone else got or know post divorce happiness or mid life / old age happiness (I have to be careful as my friend may be 50 but she is young young young at heart and so is he! so def not old so I use the term vaguely)?
