As the number of gray divorces increases, more people are choosing not to re-partner. Here's why, explains belladepaulo
The authors looked at lots of different factors to try to understand what was driving the rates of remarrying, cohabiting, or staying single among these 50+-year-old men and women. Many of the findings were underwhelming. For example, economic resources, typically of significance to younger people, were not much of a factor in the re-partnering rates of these older Americans. The links between health and re-partnering were not all that impressive either.
In this article, the authors did something very important and very rare. They acknowledged another factor that may have mattered: whether the participantsto become partnered again. They recognized that some people just don’t want to get remarried or cohabit. If you are not interested, it doesn’t matter how many available partners there are, or how much money you have, or whether you have other people in your life, or how healthy you are.
In the Heath and Retirement Study , the people who got divorced were not asked if they wanted to find another partner. From that study, then, we cannot know whether more women than men stayed single after divorcing because they wanted to stay single, or how that factor compared to other factors. For example, women live longer than men, so there are more older women than older men; that means that there are more potential partners for heterosexual men than heterosexual women.
