As other posters have said, once you get into your 40s, you'll be FAR less likely to even ENTER relationships - romantic or platonic - that have the potential to be frustrating, unfulfilling, or hurtful. They simply aren't worth the hassle.
When you get older you won't want to deal with toxicity in a relationship. I never dealt with it for as long as I can remember. I never had a problem moving on from something that didn't work out for me. Life is short, and you must try to make the most of the time you have. I personally wouldn't waste much time with anyone I didn't enjoy being with. That's why it's hard for me to understand how people are so tolerable, when there are so many opportunities around.
A relationship need not get to the toxic phase to warrant giving up on it.
Also, as I get older, I have come to realize that there's always enough time left....
i actually had a hard time letting go of relationships when i was younger. as i have aged however, i found that all relationships are temporary in nature. people come and go in your life on a regular basis in a variety of ways, so one should be prepared to let people and relationships go.

^^^This. Your tolerance for b.s. goes down, along with realizing what and who the real priorities are in life.
