The 50's is when we begin to re-evaluate who we are and what we want out of life - especially if we've given plenty of time to the family or other relationships. It's a time of pruning ideas, not necessarily people. I have found many women who shift their energy from self-criticism to self-love and put time into re-discovering who they are (and develop some new interests!) they become more joyful, satisfied, and attract many new opportunities. Many of these can enhance what they arleady have or give them strength to move on.</p> I am so glad to see a discussion on this letter.

Being unfilled. Especially during menopause and right after. This is when it sounds like she needs to redefine herself. And unless the husband is a real louse, divorce is the last thing you need to do. After 24 years of marriage you may have to find a love lost. And it is not easy. I have been married 24 years this year. And we have had our shares of up and down. But what I found is I still love him. And I really love me. And I had to find that love for me. I am still searching for my outlet.But I am looking. Dont jump out of the frying pan into the fire. Rethink your decisions and find out what is making you uncomfortable.

We women should never feel we have to stay at a certain place or time in our lives to suit other people we only have one life and i think we should live that life to the fulest. Good luck and God Bless you. I think she should move on if she is not fufilled or does not feel fulfilled anymore in her marriage.
