Women are more miserable than men for almost their entire lives and are happier only after the age of 85, according to a large NHS survey.
It found that women get progressively happier in retirement before overtaking men in their ninth decade. Psychiatrists say that this may be because so many are widowed by then.
Growing numbers of Britons are reporting consistent unhappiness, the Health Survey for England found, with women more likely to report severe problems at almost every age.

Correction..,Mrs DoodleBob and I...don’t want any rumors getting started...
I’ll be able to put it to good use.
There was an older report, that married men live longer than single men.
The report was recently modified. Married men do not live longer.
It only seems longer.
Do you know why most men die before their wives, its because they want to.
You are who, exactly?
I never knew it was going to be a competition when the minister said "Until death do you part".
I’ve been mostly happy all my life! I like my husband too and I hope we’re together at 85.

No debts, own the house, own the car, peace and quiet in abundance.
All I need now is a part-time retirement job for a little extra scratch.
And no, I don’t get lonely. How can I get lonely with a house full of books to read or reread — plus Free Republic to keep me informed.
A female, who has often found your ‘Red Pill’,’MGTOW’ posts amusing - but also sad.
This thread saddens me. My husband died 5 years ago, and I am just now able to climb out of the mind-numbing grief. We would have been married for 51 years yesterday.
We were a good fit. Not perfect, as we were opposites in some ways, but we managed to complement each other, and accepted our differences. I am doing “ok” now without him, but will never be happy again.
I will manage because my children expect me to be independent and optimistic, so I keep my sense of “aloneness” from them. They are in happy marriages, with full lives. My loneliness for my life-mate, best friend, and partner must be endured alone.
So many are like me. We put on a pleasant face, try to help our children when needed, and try to stay put of the way most of the time. We make friends of other widows, and we share our memories of how happy we once were, when we had our husbands to love, to care for, and to share secret feelings with.
We feel lost without our life-partners, and can’t wait to find out if we will see them again in the hereafter. That is not promised to us, but it is promised that we will no longer feel the pain of loss.
Tony, I miss you, and I wish I were with you. Thank you for being my husband, for loving me, inspite of my faults. Thank you for everything you did to love and support me, and our children.
I pray that you are with God, and that He enfolds you into Heaven, and that you no longer suffer. I love you until the end of time, forever.
That’s lovely. You will be together again.

Socialism tends to breed that.
They need a Girls night out.
Shut up.
That is the first thing I thought, too.
Why do men die younger than women? - Because they want too..
A friend has a Down’s son who is very sweet but low functioning. The only time he even starts to get upset is when he has to go to the doctor. He never worries about anything. How is his life worse or less worthy than any other?
You beat me. Figured someone would.
If you were my husband, I would poison your tea!
If you were my wife, I would drink it!
I’m sorry for your loss, but truly happy for the joy you had in your marriage. I suspect you had more than most.
