As most of you know, I’m planning my exit strategy from my toxic marriage.
At first I was scared to be single again at the age of 50. I have just a few close friends, and a larger social circle that I share with my current husband. I was afraid... but now I’m not. Things I want to do that I’m not doing now with my husband;: -hiking -skiing -roller blading -biking -camping -sailing -buy a keyboard and learn how to sing -maybe sing for a band -travel These are all things I don’t currently do alone or with my husband, but are all things I either used to do or wish to still do. My husband has many physical ailments that prevent him from doing anything physical. As a result, I stopped doing many things I love. If I don’t become single within the next year, please hold me to this post and list. I want to live my life fully again, and I miss my old self dearly. And I’ve been in so many unhealthy relationships, that I’d rather be alone at this point. I see myself having a great life being single and free. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

Great list! There are ton of benefits to being single. I’d also add making more new friendships and social life with other women (don’t need to be single for that but we are talking about single life here). I’ve met lovely groups of women through meet up groups (Walking, working out and hiking groups, book club or just socializing girl groups). That was a blessing as I formed friendships that lasted after some groups fell apart and we do stuff together often.

I do have a group of women already that I’d like to become closer with. I’ve already established a connection with two the women. These are all fabulous ladies, a few of whom are single. I’d love to hang out with them more. __________________ "Twenty-five years and my life is still trying to get up that great big hill of hope for a destination" ~4 Non Blondes |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
