Senior Singles

In a recent conversation with my friend Peggy, also a single mom, we were marveling at how complex dating has become for us.
"How's your guy's relationship with his ex going?"
"How's your relationship with your ex's new wife?"

It seems to me that dating would be somewhat easier when the children are adults. Our relationships with our exes are ongoing because our children still live at home. So the smoothness of a date's relationship with his ex will be less relevant when the kids are more on their own. Or is this wishful thinking?

I wonder if we have anyone reading who is retired, or at least old enough to be at this stage to share your experiences.

Is dating much different when you are 55+? 75+? How is it easier? What is more difficult?
