50-year-old recent divorcé packs up and leaves overly critical 40-year-old partner at 2 AM, she wakes up to a note: 'Quiet dumping is the way to go'

It's not easy to get back into the dating game when you've been away from it for 25+ years. To put it simply: Times have changed, and so have you. How you flirt, socialize, and live your life is likely astonishingly different from when you first began dating as a naive twenty-something. You might not even realize how much you've evolved until you find yourself opposite a relative stranger at a restaurant and sharing details about yourself, what you're looking for in a relationship, and more.

Despite all these changes, there are still some red flags that remain true regardless of whether or not you're brand new to the dating scene or re-entering that world after years away from it. One of these red flags is simple and easy to identify: Respect. If it becomes clear that one person thinks they are better, stronger, or smarter than the other, you may already have an irreparable lack of balance. Keep scrolling below for this tale of a 50-year-old divorcé whose first serious relationship after the end of his marriage proved to be a total misfire.
