If I didn't know better (but I'm not sure that I do), I'd say the world was having a midlife crisis. Whether it's about half-way through it's life span, I don't know; but I do think that it's behaving just like a middle-aged guy. »more»

The most popular topic on Oprah.com lately has been about the two most recent visits by Dr. M. Gary Neuman, author of “The Truth About Cheating”. Women by the millions tuned in both days to find out the answer to this most frustrating, devastating and destructive subject, only to find out that, in a nut shell, it was primarily their fault. »more»

To be fair, all those Internet dating sites do what they do well. But then again, so do nuclear warheads, and I don’t think I’d have much luck around them either.

I realize what heresy it is to say something like that in this particular time at this particular place. Dating websites are everywhere. Match.com. eHarmony. True. Chemistry. Lavalife. JDate. Matchmaker. Seriously, there are more sites devoted to dating than the number of women I’ve dated in my entire life. And each one of them promises that you’ll find your soulmate, if you’ll just sign up for a nominal monthly fee. Who says you can’t put a price on love?

Far be it from me to be cynical (okay, maybe it’s not that far) about these places. I know two people who met and married their spouse via an online matchmaker. Still, I while it may work for some people, Internet dating is also a torture Satan thought up after a few shots of Jack Daniels. »more»

Yikes! Divorce over 50 is surging. AARP has a new survey why after all of those years couples are calling it quits and it shows, among other things, that women are most often the ones walking out and more often than not men don’t see it coming. »more»

"Gray Divorce" (divorce over 50) is surging (details here).

We read about those couples who remain together until literally "death us do part," and we are bombarded about stories about couples splitting up within the first years of marriage. But we rarely read about later life divorces among middle aged couples of long-standing unions. Despite this type of divorce being a growing trend, it is a much less discussed topic. »more»
