Is 40 too old to start over in life?

Answered 4 years ago

I am married but I feel my marriage is hurting us more than making things good. We both feel lonely a lot and we fight soooo much I find myself crying and sad like 3 times a week over the smallest of things, dumb things. But when we fight it affects me so much I can’t bring myself to feel like I can handle life and I check out. I am not even there for my daughter because I am so blinded by the fight, I hate what it does to me and I know I can’t blame her it’s my fault for allowing myself for her to have so much power over me. I just don’t know how to not care! Only way I know is to not be with her. I love her but I hate a lot of things at the same time. My gut tells me to leave I’m hurting my daughter but I can’t bring myself to do it. She doesn’t even show affection to my daughter. I don’t know how to make it better and I’ve tried everything.

I felt like you at 46! I decided to really communicate with my husband and tell him what I want in our relationship and he was scared I was going to leave so he started changing. He then communicated what he needs. I think it’s about being really honest with your situation and saying if we are not aligned or willing to align then it’s time to call it quits.

Fear is holding you back and age is just a number. Give it a try, it might hurt now but in the future you will realise it was the best thing you could have ever done.
