Is not old

I heard on the wireless the other day that middle age used to be classed as 41 but it has now been changed to 53!

Jennie was over the moon

Seriously tho, I had my kids very young and I’m now 41 with freedom, life experience, enough energy to do fun things and funds to do them with.

Did those of you who have reached level 40 dread it and think it was all downhill thereafter? Or are you like me and loving the ride?

I dreaded 40, but was less unhappy with 50 this year. Maybe that's because I've discovered my freedom in the last 3 years & I'm living my best life, with less hang-ups than I had 10 years ago.

Don't get me wrong, aging isn't fun but I've embraced who I am, the good, the bad & the ugly bits!!

Being serious, I'd say anything from 40 to about 50 is middle aged nowadays.

You are literally middle. Aged. Ignore it being pushed up to appeal to the general ageing population.

I don't know how I'm going to feel when I'm middle aged. I don't think it will all be downhill because I've read from a lot of the old dears on here that their libido increases and they have a great sex life in their forties.

I'm hoping this thread keeps me hopeful for my impending older years.

My teenage years were non existent as were the entirety of my 40s.

I've never celebrated any landmark birthday or seen any significant changes when slipping from one decade to the next until I turned 50.

That was more about circumstances than reaching another milestone and while I can't say I'm loving it, the last eight years have been a rollercoaster.

We are both 40 and truthfully it’s crazy because we don’t feel it in many respects. Unsure whether we look it or not, but that’s not for us to say.

It’s bad to admit this, but another couple contacted us the other day. They were around our age (from memory 42/43) and it took a moment to remember that we are similar and in fact they’re not “too old!”

I didn't dread it, per se, but then I wasn't exactly enamoured by the prospect either. It was the same for my 30th, and I'm guessing it'll be the same for my 50th too, but I'm hoping I'm wrong and it'll be a great milestone for a change

I hit 40, had learnt no life skills and had to learn from the ground up, had to learn about myself,how to have relationships with people as well as the hard task of learning to have one with myself.

Go through some deep fundamental changes around myself.

Do a shitload of work on myself that left me feeling even more worthless about myself.

Go through loads of feelings of guilt, shame, regret, and remorse.

However, as negative as all that sounds, it's the most postive, rewarding, and enriching. Thing that I have been through.

As I'm now content within myself, the world around me, im confident in relationships and my life is of value, and I no longer trade my values, standards and morals any more. Embrace the change amd trust thr process i was told, and that's what I did

"I enjoyed being 40. We had our children later in life so they were both very young. I'm enjoying being in my sixties too.

The alternative is not enjoying it and I can't see much point in that

That also makes sense, one life and all that

So true

"As anyone over a certain age will tell you, the absolute worst thing about getting older

Is online forms and having to scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and scroll, and scroll to find your birth year.

Go through some deep fundamental changes around myself.

Do a shitload of work on myself that left me feeling even more worthless about myself.

Go through loads of feelings of guilt, shame, regret, and remorse.
