Mike, I was in my late 40s, about to be 49 in my sitch. I had the same thoughts. I was going to give her one year past BD or I was going to go for myself. I always tell LBSs to decide how long they are willing to wait then set a drop dead date. You don't tell her the date, it is for you and you alone. Life is too short. There are plenty of fish in the sea for an older gentleman. Especially if you are in good shape and take care of yourself! So figure out the timing for you then stick to it.
