Nah.

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.

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.

i noticed how easy it was to move on from one relationship to the next i am now 23 years old and i have noticed how difficult it is to let go
I don't recall ever having a hard time letting go of a dude as screwed up as the one you're dating.

I had a hard time getting out of a marriage once, but dating? Naw, girl.

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