subject: Breaking Up Can Be Harder If You Are Older [print this page] Are you a mature single? Have you experienced a break up during your dating career? As a single in a mature dating relationship, when you have a break up, does it hurt more for you than for a younger single or are all break ups hard?
Breaking up is difficult no matter what age group you fall into however, for the mature dater, sometimes the aftermath can be harder to deal with. For starters, as a mature dater, you are more set in your ways than a younger dater is. You've most likely been single for a long time and have had a chance to be alone and content in your singleness or, you are recently divorced or widowed and are now in the dating game again. You have a lot of life experience on your side and also are set in your ways.
Mature singles do not rebound as quickly when it comes to life changes and moving in new directions. Younger singles have a tendency to be more resilient when it comes to their love lives and although they do find it hard to deal with a break up, they more easily tend to bounce back into the dating game. That is just part of life and the general cycle of growth that we go through. Neither the younger dater nor the mature dater is right or wrong in their dating approaches. These dating behaviors are just part of our makeup and the mature singles were young once and experienced those same tendencies to be resilient when it comes to love and new relationships.
Younger singles are the life of the party and generally speaking enjoy the fast track of life. As we get older, we are less and less excited about being the life of the party, and don't feel the need to stay and hang out at the party all night long. Mature singles enjoy a good nights sleep and need those eight hours to function as a normal human being the next day at work. Younger singles tend to be able to run on empty (along with a good dose of caffeine) and dont mind partying all night.
So what if you do end up in a break up and you're in a mature dating relationship, is it the end of the world? No it's not, even though it seems like it is. With all break ups, you'll need to go through a grieving process and if you don't allow yourself this time to grieve and you rush into a rebound relationship, you will only be hurting yourself and this new partner. Allow yourself to have the time to regroup before you get back into the dating world.
