Gray divorces doubled between 1990 and 2010, until they comprised about one in four of all divorces nationally...
And though divorce has been dropping in most age groups across America, it has not among people 50 years and older.
Michael Stutman, a top New York City divorce lawyer, thinks a “popular culture” shift around modern marriage expectations, coupled with staring down the barrel of mortality, could be playing a part.
“The thing about people who are over 50 is that they’re getting cognizant that the fuel gauge is starting to go down to empty,” Stutman told The Post.
“And there’s one thing money can’t buy, which is time.”

Divorced spouses can receive Social Security benefits on an ex-husband’s or ex-wife’s work record if the marriage lasted at least 10 years and you remain unmarried. You can collect up to 50% of your ex-spouse’s full retirement amount, and your claim will not reduce the payouts to your ex or their current family. Source SS website
Thanks for your story. I wish you nothing but happiness.
She wore pants after her husband died?! 😳😱 Mom never got THAT brave. (Dad was a Baptist preacher, only skirts.) But she did turn into a hussy and wear ... EARRINGS!
She was forbidden to drive, but when she was 80, my aunt secretly taught her to drive, and took her to get her license. She was 84 when Dad died, and the day after the funeral my sister and I bought her a car. She was so proud of that car. The farthest she drove was about 10 miles to work.
That's the way I felt. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for setting me straight. The way my attorney explained it was I retired and took SS benefits, my spouse would get half.

We graduated in 1965, hadn’t seen each other since then. Then her name popped up on my Facebook page and we started texting.
I’m in SoCal, she’s “Connie in Kent”. I sent her a link to an ABBA video where I posted a comment “To Connie, in Kent, Wa., so that’s what I call her.
“ STD capital of the country in the Villages.”
This rumor is so ridiculous. One person many years ago, based on one visit, wrote an article claiming that and this fake news story has lasted forever. The lifestyle in The Villages is incredibly active and healthy. People are very busy playing pickle ball, tennis, water volleyball, water aerobics, swimming, shuffleboard, bocce ball, beanbag baseball, softball, etc.
There are more than 3500 resident run organizations including many supporting veterans. The Villages has the highest percentage of veterans of any community over 100,000 in the USA.
The entire community of about 175,000 people closes up about 9 PM.
You were brave to start again with someone from your past. God bless you both.
Thank you.
We have no idea what’s in store for us, we text everyday and hope to see each other soon.
Well then where is the STD capital of the country? This is important. Never mind. I’ve got to stop saying stuff on the internet.
I tell the doc “Doc - Take good care of her. She’s gotta last me a while yet.”
Occasionally wifey dear reminds me I’m stuck with her. Haven’t seen fit to argue the point.
