If you’re a woman age 40 or older, there’s a good chance you’re sleeping alone in a queen-size bed. If this is how you spend your Saturday nights, you’re not alone. You’ve definitely got company!

According to Census Bureau as reported by the New York Times, of the 57 million American women 45 and up, nearly half — 25 million — are unmarried, outnumbering entire populations of countries such as North Korea, Taiwan, and Australia. There are several reasons for this: American women marry later, their divorce rate is high, and, those who are married are likely to outlive their mates. As a result, American women are now likely to spend more years single than with a partner. In addition, it seems there are more women today age 40 and over who have never been married, or are divorced or widowed, ever before in the history of the United States.

“While it’s true that many partner-less women are poor, many are not. These women are financially independent and savvy, and have greater expectations for their relationships than their mothers or grandmothers did. If we do find someone to share our lives with, we want compassion, true partnership and feelings of appreciation and respect,” says baby-boomer relationship guru, Nancy Michaels. “We want more from our relationships and we’re demanding it — or we’re opting to go without!”

If you’re surfing the internet with a glass of wine in hand on Saturday night — there’s a resource you’ll want to know about. On Saturday, December 8th, Nancy Michaels will be hosting an online radio broadcast on her website, MatchGoneWrong.com, which will give single women age 40 and older an opportunity to express their frustrations and their joys about being single on a Saturday night.

From 8pm - midnight EST, Nancy will be on call to discuss all the various ways that emotionally mature women are dealing with going solo post 40, and why we’ve chosen — or been forced to live with — that decision. Among our topics for discussion are how to:

Identify a support system as early in the separation process as possible

Become financially knowledgeable and responsible again

Make new friends and when your past social network is no longer available

Operate as a single parent and stay sane while doing it

View your single status as an asset

Identify warning signs of a pending match gone wrong

Please go to www.matchgonewrong.com any time before the broadcast to register for the show and log in and voice your opinion as to why you’re sleeping single in a bed fit for a Queen.

According to Michaels, “After feeling very alone and lonely on many nights following the break-up of my marriage, I felt there was a need to connect with other women who were experiencing similar issues.” She continues, “That’s why I decided to start a radio broadcast via the web to help other 40+ women connect with each other and offer advice, support and information about going it alone successfully.”
