Smile, I know there are people who may not go out of their way to be mean in a marriage, but they certainly are stuck enough that they can't even think of being nice to one another. They're in such a routine of not getting along that they can't get past it. Miserable sad isn't it?

Betty,I applaud you for taking time for yourself. I've received stories from enough boomers to realize that many of us are reflecting on this time in our lives and realizing it's our turn. We've raised our kids and we're ready for the next stage.

You're smart to recognize it and move with it. Some women know it's their time but have a hard time switching gears because they are so use to doinf for others. Some haven't figured out what the next stage should consist of. What can I do with my life?

I say...you go girl!
