To think love after 40 is possible?

[ApplesAndPearsStairs]

I'm 41 and may be getting divorced. Did you find love in your 40s? Please tell me your story so I can have some hope that it's possible!!! And when I say love I really mean love. Not finally finding someone who'll 'do' and/or settling! Thanks.

I found love in my 50s on Tinder of all places, in fact he was my first online dating date. Been together 3 years and never been happier.

I found love at 40. Sadly ended for various reasons but still remain hopefully if not yet ready to get back in the pool again

Met my DP online last summer. We are both early 50's and are more compatible than I could ever imagine- certainly more than we ever were with our respective ex spouses.
I was always a bit cynical about meeting someone who could justify the word soulmate. Not any more!

Don't give up and definitely don't settle.

I'm really not your target audience, but I will say this - you haven't even separated yet! Perfectly possible to find love at any age, but at least give yourself time to chill out a bit first. Rebound romance is never a good thing.
(Oh and am 45, 9 years single and would chew my leg off before I got serious with anyone again. )

It’s absolutely possible.

I split with my husband after 13 shit years of an abusive marriage when I was 43.

I started seeing DP not long after. We have been together five years now and are still very much in love.i know he adores me, and I’m the happiest I have ever been in my life. (And he’s 12 years younger than me.. )

Nnnnnineteen, I see what you're saying. But I haven't had any kind of relationship with my husband for a long time. I will definitely need some time alone but then I think I'll be ready to meet someone. To be honest, being on my own won't be any different from how things are now... I never see/speak/touch DH.

I found love last year at the age of 43. He made contact through the dating app we were both on. I'd actually been out with him before for a few months when I was 14, he hadn't recognised me 30 years later lol. Sadly the relationship didn't last but I'm glad it happened. Have had 2 more romances since then.

So yes you can find love after 40.

I'm just still figuring out how to keep 'em lol think it must be my 3 heads putting them off 🤣

I met my wonderful DP at 44 after bring separated from my ex-h 2 years previously

We met on Twitter, got chatting, had our first date after a couple of months of talking and we have been together ever since (7 years later this year).

My marriage was very unhappy and I never thought I would find such a wonderful, kind, gorgeous, funny, loyal and supportive man but I did. Don't give up.

Two failed marriages then met my now DH when I was mid forties. Now I realise that I had no idea what true love was before. We were together over the years before we decided to get married. I know our previous lives made us the people we are now but I do wish we had met before so that we could have more time together, realistically we will be lucky to have a silver wedding anniversary but every minute with him is a minute worth living (even when he is being annoying).

Over ten years. I hate auto correct!

We met when I was 44 and he was 41. We'll celebrate our 19th wedding anniversary in April.

It's so lovely to hear your positive stories. You have given me lift!

Yes! DP and I were 53 and 46 when we got together, eighteen years ago. The only really good relationship I've had (tho kissing all those frogs was fun too).
