Hey all.
Looking through the threads on here I’m obviously not at the right site for whats niggling at me at the moment. 
The title of this thread pretty much explains where I am at the moment in life and although sounds bad I’m actually ok just need to chat with other people who are feeling the same as me.
Hi there Kevin, Welcome from Pats…
I feel like this most days due to circumstances beyond my control - fortunately I have a good relationship with my partner. I’m sure you will too - you’ve just lost your way at present. Maybe she feels very down herself and you have to really talk this thru. Set aside some time, quiet evening - and say how you feel, then ask how she feels. Sometimes its difficult to discuss with your partner certain issues but in the end its the only way to resolve things. Talk it all thru Kevin, see what happens, she may want to get some things off her chest too and the result may be a 'cloud lifted - hope so… Good luck - Pats
Hello and welcome !
I’ve hit fifty with renewed purpose and a determination to make the most of the rest of my life. So to me yes it is very much worth carrying on - the best may just be coming yet.
I’ve just come through a black period in my life, just as I always do.even the VERY black times
IT may sound trite, but all things pass , that’s Confucius saying it not me, but I am in full agreement.
HOpe you find answers to your niggles.
By the way WELCOME

Hello Kevin and welcome to the forum. At 50 you are still a young un and many people find a new lease of life at 50, so I would certainlly say yes it is worth carrying on. As has been said talk to your lady and keep talking things through.
Hello Kevin welcome , I look forward to chatting with you.
Welcome, I have just turned 50 and I am just beginning to live and really enjoy myself so hang in there…

Yes life at 50 can be good …
Try and make you wife become involved with new pasttimes together …if you still hit a brick wall …then look for other friends just because your married dosnt mean your joined at the hip…
I have been happierly married for nearly 30 years but we both lead seperate lifes and meet some where in the middle …
Welcome Kevin. I think it’s great when you hit 50, little problems don’t bother you anymore, I am more inclined to laugh at them now and the things you can do nothing about you just let them take their course, we’re all going to end up in a box anyway, whats the point of wasting good living time worrying about it?, and more good news, it gets better when you’re in your 60’s and retired, so grab the bull by the horns and get on with it.

Hello Kevin welcome to the forum…
I know what you mean but as they say “Life is a journey” I know I will get there in the end some peoples journeys take longer than others hang on in there.
Some of the best things that have ever happened to me happened after I turned 50 - apart from my children, of course. New partner, new town, new and better job, new travels, more money. It can happen.
I think sometimes you have to make things happen, even if that’s just talking to a partner and other people, or making a hard decision, or a big change. None of it easy but definitely worth the chance. Nothing changes if you don’t do anything to help it happen whether it’s just a frame of mind or complete change.
I don’t want to sound like one of those people who only tell you to look on the bright side and buck yourself up because that’s often hard, if not impossible but sometimes you can make things happen by starting small, incremental changes.
Best of luck, anyway and don’t give up on yourself.
Welcome to the Forum and I hope you enjoy the posts we put on here.
Not being one to interfere with strangers lives normally, I just wondered if you have asked your wife what she wants to do with you. Unless its me getting the text of your life wrong? What does she want to do and has she persuaded you to do something she likes? Trying to find joint interests normally entails a bit of give and take. She is an equal partner in the relationship.
As mentioned a good chat together or even getting a appointment with something like marriage guidance might work. If you are going to spend the rest of your lives together this is the time you need things sorting out as life begins when you are born in my mind and just changes over the years. My next big 0 is 70 and looking forward to it but still enjoying living
up to that point. Dont let age drag you down just try and share your life not trying to dominate someone elses. Good luck.
Kevin matey I’m an ancient decrepit - (can give you 14 years), but things are better for now they they were in earlier life - so as others have already said, hang on in there, you’re far too young to ‘snuff it’.
I hated being 30
I think I was in disbelief that I had become soooo old … lol … after that it didn’t seem to matter.
My brain is probably teenage most of the time and that’s what counts
Rachel darlin’ - just wait till your own body starts to tell you you’re over 90 (as mine did 10 years ago - I’m actually only 64). Now I’m resigned to being an ancient decrepit.
I can remember hoping I would die before I became 25 - the thought of being ‘that old’ horrified me, I was only about 12 though at the time
