Can a 40 year old woman with 3 young sons ever find love again?
It seems unlikely that there are many men who would want to get involved with a divorced woman that has 3 little boys? That’s a lot of strikes against her – 40 years old, divorced, and 3 children to boot! Is it worth getting back on the market or should she just throw in the towel and wait until the kids are older?

yup
There always somebody
make them look for you
im sure she can keep searching
it is possible. everything is possible. if a guy truly loves you for you, your age, past, and children should not stop him from loving you. he should be happy that he found you, and your 3 sons.

there’s always time to find love again.
Yes
Love is everywhere
of course she can find love again!
look for someone with 3 kids.
big happy family
Of course she can. I mean, I’m only 15 but i have faith that believe that you can find love no matter who you are.
Is this my mom?
Absolutely! But it’s been hard for me, and I’m a 25 year old with no kids, so don’t give up!
yeah why not.
anyone can fall in love:]
I am sure there are men who would like to date you. Dont try too hard, you may end up with the wrong guy, just be yourself and love will come find you.
Don’t give up, you will find love again. There are still some good men out there who would love to be a step father to 3 boys.
Yes! Whether it is worth it or not is your call, but if you want it, you will find it. It usually happens when you least expect it or when you think it will never happen. Besides, with 3 young sons, you have love already.
Its women like you that guys like me want to meet. Stay out on the market, no towels in sight.
I would agree, some men don’t want that, but don’t take yourself off the market, as there may be someone out there that is interested, and if you show no interest, you will be the one losing out, and maybe even your kids too.
You can definitely find love! I did. But then….I opted for just having male friends until my daughter gets out of high school. She’s 15 now. It would be good for your boys to see you being an adult and not THEM the center of the universe. But, it’s very hard on kids to put step parents in their lives.
of course everybody will always find love again no matter how old they are and if your divorced or have kids
if they really love you then they would except your boys as a part of the deal if they really want to be with you it’s a matter of time don’t worry i’m shure you still got your things going on
<3
Yes of course she can.
40 is far from old and if she finds love again when her kids are young then she should do what makes her happy and get remarried if thats what she wants.
I found the love of my life at age 35 with two young children, so why can’t you at 40?
Just believe in yourself. Find a nice divorced guy with a couple of kids of his own. I did and I had never dreamed I could be so content and happy.
Go for it! Good luck!!
Yes of course. BUT DO NOT SETTLE IF YOUR NOT HAPPY, try try try again it will happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
yes my tia is almost 50 and dating guys she has 5 kids some youngest is 16 oldest is 30 something she can fine someone
of course you can, there is always someone looking for "you". try online dating or singles clubs for divorced people with children. I tried match.com and met an amazing person. the hardest part is the first step, but There is a man out there somewhere saying the same thing you are saying, you just have to get out there and make your own luck!!!
Get Out There, don’t think of your lifestyle as a fault, think of your age and boys as an asset, besides 40 is so young, many women are jsut starting out at that age! scap the excuses and find that man!
Yep, throw in the towel.
No-one, unless he looks like Quasimoto, would want to take on someone else’s brood.
Whether you get back in the game or wait is entirely up to you. However, I was 42 with three kids when I started dating again. I waited a LONG time (six months of dating) before introducing the guy to my kids, in case it didn’t work out. I didn’t want my kids’ feelings to get all wrapped up in the guy and him breaking their hearts. Unfortunately it turned out that way anyway, so I guess no matter how careful you are it can happen. I’d be cautious with the kids’ feelings, though. They are your first responsibility until they are old enough to take care of themselves. That being said, there is nothing that says you have to shelve yourself until they are older. Do what feels right to you.
Hi:
At 40 years old there is plenty of men out there that are either separated, divorced or widowed. The problem is they have to like kids.
Some of these men would prefer younger women but the young women don’t want men in their 40′s if they do they are after their money. Good Luck.

If you have three sons, you have not lost love. Be patient, Do not throw in the towel, but do not go on the prowl. Whatever happens, please try to make the kids a part of it. Some of us guys out here love kids. Be strong and patient. Good luck and God bless.
kinda negative to think of your kids as a ‘strike against you’. anyways, dont worry about it. theres all kinds of guys, and some like kids. there is potential for some issues, but that would all need to be worked out in time.
I don’t have a problem with women with children as long as they are willing to work full time and provide for them. I let a woman with 2 children move in with me a few years ago. I paid all the bills and owned the home. I asked her to only buy food and clothing for her children. She did this for about a year and lost her job no fault of her own but refused to work anything but part time after that and was draining my bank account. I loved her and also got along great with the kids but I ended the relationship. She lied to me and figured after she had gotten settled in that I would pay for everything. Her part time job barely paid for her own habits.
Girl please your age has nothing to do with it and your children they are bonus to the relationship.
My X said that I would never meet anyone he was so very very wrong.
Stop thinking negative.
Just let the man know up front how many children you have and the ages, it is better to let them know from the beginning and if they say no it’s there lost not yours. The right man is out there so no don’t wait till the they get older. After a while if you wait you will then begin to resent them and we don’t want that to happen do we? NO NO we don’t
Definately. You would be surprised, there are a lot of great men out there who are getting crapped on by their current wives and they would love to move into your family situation with the three boys.
1) Kids come first. If that means wait, then yes, wait.
2) You still deserve to be happy. Meet new people, dont have them meet your kids until you are completely sure
3) Take things slow
hey you can do anything you want,my advice is marry a guy that’s got plenty of money,remember love don’t pay the rent! go to law libraries and pretend you are looking up some legal stuff,and ask a guy to help you and ask him what are some legal socitey’s ? if you want your prince charming you will have to do a little prep,hairdo clothes,know what you are going to say,and put on the old charm! or go look at some after hour clubs and get info on them! it’s better to marry a guy that’s got plenty of money,don’t date men that can’t help you financially,go for the exutive type,honey you can do it now do it!
Its never to late. Check yourself out and look at yourself as other people would see you, and make any changes that would make you attractive, appealing, or socially acceptable. Next, think about where you want to meet someone: PTA, Church, or social activities. You want to find someone, put forth the effort. I’ll bet there is someone out there looking for you. Good luck to you.
40 year old could not be a problem to find love, but the 3 young sons could be a problem.
Of course someone can fall in love in those circumstances. It’s about who you are, not how you look on paper. Just keep being the wonderful person you are, do the things you love to do, and don’t rush the process.
there are a lot of guys with children who are looking for women with children…don’t worry about it i think you need to let people know they are important to you and if you find someone talking about the same topic it could be a match…
3 kids ! Damn woman, yes that is too much. I for one would not want to take any responsibility for taking care of 3 boys that are not mine. But wish you best of luck in finding someone.
Yes you can be patient and have faith.
Yes I’ve seen that happen with 4 kids. Just look and be sexy!
I was 45 with 2 girls still at home I have 4. My husband at the time had 4 still at home he has full custody. So see theres always someone for you out there. Mine came when I least expected it to and we are ALL very happy 7 years later.
Hey, get up there, you have three little men, that is an asset. You all deserve someone wonderful!
If you long to meet some one, then let your heart drive you! Believe in what you have going for you. It’s hard when you’ve been knocked down by life, but the strikes you listed against yourself, also have some positives. 40 is a great age. Wisdom, stability, security, humour. You have developed some stuff within yourself in those 40 years that deserve som credit! And your children are not a strike against you. They are part of the package deal. Any good man worthy of you will see that and want you all!!!!
Don’t throw in the towel, don’t give up, cause you will always wonder what would happen if you had tried.
YES YOU CAN. You have to dust yourself off and polish yourself up a bit. It’s a bit daunting and some work, but it’s possible. There is someone out there that would love to meet a caring and kind woman. Stop beating yourself up. Go out there and make it happen. Good luck!!
