I am62 and have been married for 36 years. I have come to the realization that my wife and I have maybe reached the end of our time together. All intimacy is gone in our relationships and she has a couple of groups of friends that she spends all her leasure and vacation time with going on trips both shirt and long, doing this to the exclusion of any time with me.
And in all honesty I don’t care. I value the time to myself and while it annoys me that she chooses to spend time and money being away from me i say buena fortuna to her.
So now it occurs to me that we should just end this so that we can both pursue some sense of happiness in the last part of our lives and not just run from each other, but the thought of starting over at this point in life is frightening and sometimes I feel like just living with the situation rather than maybe spending the rest of my life literally alone.
Has anyone ut there split late in life? What was your experience?

Right there with you brother. In my 50s.. I keep thinking.. is there any shot at finding someone I will enjoy being with again. Will never marry again. My fear honestly is as I get older.. what will happen if I have ailments. I have kids.. but really do NOT want to be a burden to them either. But part of me is all in to the idea of living in some place like Alaska with a bunch of dogs, off the grid a bit.. though not thinking I want to try to manage a farm/etc as I get older either.
It's kinda scary.. but also a little bit exciting. No one to answer to. Do what I want, when I want. Often wonder why I decided to lock it all in instead of roam free. If I could go back with my knowledge of the way the world is today.. and how shitty of a husband/father I apparently am.. I think I would not have kids and never get married. Work a lot, enjoy life.
