Had some hard times in life and marriage...but it all worked out for the best. It would have been easy to walk away and give up, but we did not. It is never perfect and neither partner ever is. We celebrate our 39th anniversary next month. Life is probably best now in many ways...approaching retirement/golden years with the right partner, enjoying what we built together.

It must be difficult to split up after many years, both mentally and financially. I would not wish it on anyone. Getting older is bad enough by itself (especially physically).
