The sister of my father is almost 40 years old and she has nobody special yet in hr life. she once had a 15 year relationship but unfortunately it ended because of a third party. Many family members regretted the long lasting relationship since it just went to waste. My aunt is a nurse and his long term boyfriend was a sea man. They were in love but they were very far from each other, her boyfriend then had another woman whom he is now married with today and they have two children. For me she hasn't recovered yet since she hasn't accepted anyone special in her life yet. We do not want her to grow old alone since it is lonely but we also don't want to force her. What do you think we should do?

I think she has to wait until she's ready to find the person who she wants to spend the rest of her life with. After being with someone for 15 years and loosing them, it's probably hard for her to start again. She's probably thinking, what's the point. I know if I was with someone for that long period of time and they left me and married someone else I would be devastated. It would definitely take a while for me to start seeing people again. I think she just needs some time. Some people need more than others. Also take into consideration that she may want to spend the rest of her time alone. There are plenty of people who never marry and they are happy. She may be one of those types of people.
