Does anyone over 40 still beleve in true love ?

After being twice divorced , and single now for many years I am starting to think that there is no such thing as true love or at least not lasting love . Is it all just hormones or paramones ?

    I'm 36 and have been with my man for over 20 years. I don't think that True Love exists in and of itself. I think that ANY kind of love takes a lot of work, though the truer the love, the less work that might be involved...but there will still be a lot of work for the rest of your life! There are people out there who I would not be married to well and there are some that will work better with me in love.

    My husband and I are total and complete opposites. Either that could break us apart or it could help us learn from each other. Even though I might be upset about something that happened, I can still see that there is love in the situation. When I was 20, I thought that every action he did to hurt me meant that he didn't love me. Silly girl! *LOL*

    There is love after 40...You being divorced twice, i would look back at past relationship and make sure the new love doesn't have any of the issues the past ones did....

    I'm 44 and i have younger guys, some young enough to be my son asking me out...I just cant deal with that...Plus girl your in your prime, a guy in his 20's may be nice, for a while...LOL He is in his prime to LOL

    I'm divorced and I later remarried the most wonderful woman I have ever met.I am 37 and she is 46 and we are the happiest couple of kids I know.She has never been married but has been in some long relationships and she says she never knew how wonderful marriage could be.I guess what I am saying is it took us over 30-40 years to find that special someone.Good luck

    I believe there is true love. I am not saying this to argue with you. But love is a function of expectations(on both sides) and the management of the expectations.

    Yes, there is an element of "hormones" in it. But that's not all!!

    I am sorry your experiences have made you a bitter. I sincerely hope, going forward you will find happiness in friendship!! Good Luck.

    look up your soulmate if he is still single or available. try online dating but remain lil mysterious or try taking out a personal ad. join a single womens group at a local church. there is always a true love for everyone it all just depends on effort and chemistry. visit your friends bring along a homemade dessert maybe they have a bro or uncle or something remain pleasant and positive. enjoy your years go out travel and you will def meet someone who wants true love too. good luck.

    I think it exists, but after 40 it gets hardder to find because having been through failed relationships we develop a much better understanding of ourselves and others and we get a better understanding of what we want in a partner and as a result we become more selective....just my two cents...

    There's someone out there who will love you and that's true enough in my opinion. Don't call it just yet. I might add that there's plenty of younger males who'd date you. I'm dating an older woman and have been for over two years.

    I in basic terms had a humorous memory. whilst i became youthful I used to have faith that each and every person had a real soul mate and that i theory that when you fell in love with somebody that they might desire to be the single and that they only might desire to love you too. properly it didnt take too long to overview that it became'nt authentic in any respect. authentic love? i think 2 human beings can somewhat fall in love. Dont fall for the affection till now each and every little thing sight concern nonetheless. authentic love is obtainable in time.

    There is but doesn't last. It makes us sad but at the same time we shouldn't stop looking.
