What age is it when you realize that you are too old to leave a relationship?

Personally, I don't think you're ever too old! I've seen too many people who have stayed in loveless marriages or relationships because they've resigned themselves to the fact they think they are too old to do anything about it. Unfortunately, the longer you stay with someone, whether the relationship is good, bad, or indifferent.....after 20 or 30 or 50 years together, it's really all you know so you really don't have any concept of what life could be for you! My parents just celebrated their 59 anniversary last week and they haven't been happy for the last 45 yrs! How very sad and pathetic is that!!..........then on anniversary day, everyone is Yeaaah!...way to go!!

We only have one kick at this cat called life. Every day we waste is a day gone forever.....we never get it back with a chance to do it over and do it right. We only have today!

I would rather be happy and alone than miserable with someone!

Plus, if you've been unhappy for years, quite likely the other person in the relationship has been unhappy as well. I think those people need to acknowledge how they feel, agree to part amicably and find someone they love who will love them back.

My daughter in law's mom is 79 and she just remarried a man last December who was 83! She's truly happy for the first time in her life! I saw BRAVO!!

I would think as you get near the end of your life, you understand that you need people more than ever then. When my dad died, he was very much in love. His wife gave him the peace and happiness he craved his entire life and I am a better man for seeing that. I say, wait it out, and really get connected, because it will pay off big time.

good question personal opinion if Im in a dying bed and cant move otherwise I d want to be happy
