It seems age does matter.......

I discovered today, age does matter. To me anyway.
After another event with someone much younger, It became appearant, that I am in such a different place as someone who is 32. 43 is not the new 32. 43 is 43. With my age, comes a certain wisdom, different experiences, and a desire to chat about more than the "single life". Why woman do this, why men do that, what it means when someone looks at you for more than three seconds etc. I really don't give a crap.
And when asked why my marriage ended, I almost started crying. These people were discussing failed marriages and failed relationships the way you would discuss a coffee pot you bought, that didn't live up to your standards, so you won't buy that kind again.
I did not answer the question. It seemed a little too personal with almost complete strangers. Plus, how could I describe my situation? Maybe only someone who is 43, has raised kids, been married, been to hell and back would understand. So, for me, age does matter. Experience, some wisdom and maturity matter.
I left feeling a little out of sorts. These are not my people. I guess that's what being single is about. Finding your people again. I will keep looking.
