I have always been a believer in true love and relationships, which is why I waited until I found Mr. Perfect before I got married. When I finally got married at age 40, it was the most beautiful time in my life. Through all sorts of miracles, we had two amazing daughters and it looked like we would be together forever. Until, after less than 10 years of being married, my husband left me. This came out of nowhere and shattered all of my illusions about love and relationships. I am so distraught by the thought of starting over, especially since I work full-time and am exhausted all the time. It took me 40 years to find the one I thought was the love of my life; how will I possibly find a new love? Honestly, I've lost faith in romance and miracles and don't even want to start dating. Do you have any advice that will help restore my faith about the possibilities?

Losing faith in romance and miracles is not a bad place to start when dating after age 40, after divorce. Miracles and romance are great, but it's hard to find them at Wal-Mart, Niemans, or even online. In fact, I'd recommend not looking for them in other people. Romance and miracles are really conditions that happen from within one's self, and you are not ready for romance or miracles. Not at all. The relationship advice you need is regarding your relationship with yourself.
