Two failed marriages, mid 50s and STILL looking for their soulmate or “forever” partner. I swear it makes a mockery to both terms. My parents had forever partners. They were married for 62 years. How can these people even call it forever when “forever” has three phases and lasts a dozen or two years at a time. Yet I remember seeing that in OLD as well. “Looking for my soulmate” or “Prince Charming” or “looking for the fantasy”. It’s totally lost on them that THEY are the problem in achieving this life goal. They think it’s their partners who failed and if only they find the (next) right person they will be happy. Rather than figuring out they stink at relationships. Sadly these types of people are everywhere in mid life dating. But it won’t stop them from rushing into the next fairytale. It’s what they do.
