When is it Time to Leave a Marriage After 60? Look for These Signs! | Divorce After 60

Today, I want to talk about a difficult and emotional topic… one that some people would say shouldn’t even be raised in polite company. But, since so many women have asked me about this, I wanted to bring it up anyway.

So, in today’s video, I want to talk about the growing number of “silver divorces” that are going on around us. And, I would like to ask the simple (yet terribly complex) question of “when is it time to leave a marriage… especially after 60?”

Have you or someone you know going through a separation or divorce after 60? What did you or they learn from the experience?

When it comes to marriage, age should never be a barrier to finding happiness. Unfortunately, not all unions are meant to last, and this rings true for couples who are in their 60s or beyond. While some individuals might believe that divorce is mostly associated with younger generations, the truth is that divorce rates among older adults have been steadily rising over the past few decades.

Deciding to leave a marriage is a difficult and deeply personal decision. Whether it is due to growing apart, differing priorities, or other complex reasons, recognizing the signs that it might be time to call it quits is crucial. If you are over 60 and questioning the future of your relationship, here are some signs that might indicate it’s time to consider divorce.

1. Lack of Communication: Communication is the foundation of any successful relationship. When it becomes challenging or impossible to communicate effectively with your partner, it may lead to feelings of loneliness, resentment, and frustration. If your attempts at open and honest conversations consistently fall on deaf ears or are met with hostility, it could be a sign that your marriage is heading toward irreparable damage.

2. Emotional and Physical Neglect: Neglect can take many forms, and feeling emotionally or physically abandoned by your spouse can be devastating. If you find yourself constantly longing for affection, attention, and connection that is no longer present in your marriage, it might be an indication that the bond is irreversibly fractured.

3. Drifting Apart: People change and evolve over time, and sometimes this process pulls couples in different directions. If you and your partner no longer share common interests, goals, or values, and the efforts to bridge the gap have been unsuccessful, it may be an indication that divorce could be the best path forward.

4. Long-Standing Resentment: Holding on to resentment can create toxicity within a marriage. If you find that unresolved issues from the past continue to fester and poison your relationship, preventing growth or healing, it might be time to reconsider the longevity of the marriage.

5. Constant Conflict: Disagreements and conflicts are a natural part of any relationship. However, when conflicts escalate into constant arguing, belittling, or abuse, it’s crucial to prioritize your own well-being and safety. Seeking professional help or considering divorce might be necessary to protect yourself from further harm.

6. Lack of Intimacy: Physical intimacy plays a vital role in a healthy marriage. If you and your partner have lost interest in each other romantically or have experienced a significant decline in physical intimacy, it may be an indication that the emotional connection has dwindled, making it difficult to sustain a fulfilling partnership.

7. Loss of Trust: Trust is the cornerstone of a healthy marriage, and when it is broken, it can be challenging to rebuild. If your partner has engaged in or continues to engage in behaviors that erode your trust, such as lying, infidelity, or financial deceit, it may be time to reevaluate your future together.

Deciding to end a long-term marriage is never easy, and it’s essential to approach the decision with careful consideration and sensitivity. Seeking guidance from a therapist or counselor specialized in working with older adults can provide valuable insight and support during this challenging period.

Ultimately, it is crucial to prioritize your own happiness and well-being in any relationship. Age should not be a barrier to finding fulfillment and contentment, and sometimes, leaving a marriage after 60 is the necessary step to create a brighter and more satisfying future.
