Once you’re in your 50s, you’ll find that some of the most stable, fulfilling relationships can actually start from friendships.
Of course, it’s important to consider your partner’s needs, but perpetual self-sacrifice can lead to resentment. If you’re over 50, you’ve lived a long life and you know what your likes and dislikes are.
