This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I don't know if this helps, but I didn't meet my wife until I was in my forties. You have time.
But I'm guessing she wasn't your first relationship?
Correct, but the other ones sucked
What d about fifties? Asking for a friend ..
Obviously you are completely alone in your fifties being single, everyone else is in happy relationships.
If the sarcasm wasn't clear, it's literally never too late.
I had a friend during nurse training who divorced at 50, thought she was never going to be in another relationship, then met someone with whom she was happier than she ever imagined.
It's definitely possible.
People can get married to the right person in their 20s or 30s, change into different people, split up and find that someone else is now the right person.
You also get access to a much larger widow/widower market once you pass 50...
As @[email protected] said: it's never too late to start being lovely.
As long as you're alive and capable of communicating, it's possible.
...here we go with the impossible standards.
What can I say? I'm high maintenance 🤷😁
It's never, never too late. I've seen men aged 60-75 get GFs and wives. One of them even had children with his new wife. Talk of the town is that one of these men never had a partner before.
