Aged 50+? Complete a survey for GN and Relate - £100 to be won NOW CLOSED

I started to fill in the survey but found I couldn't answer due to not knowing anyone who's been in this situation.

I started to fill it in, but found it confusing, and the options not always relevant. I am divorced, and in a new long term relationship. My children were adult when I divorced. His subsequent behaviour means he has no contact with them or his grandchildren. They were wary of my new man at first for that reason, but happy once they got to know him. As am I.
I would think divorce and bereavement are two completely different situations, and the survey asked the same questions for both.

to the questions that werent applicable there is a box that says 'other' I just put N/A in that box...

Because of my personal circumstances I had to leave some questions blank so I have no idea if mine was of any use.

Done it but what dreadful questions! Who wrote it - surely not a professional researcher! 'Later life'. ? What is that - 50+ is not old these days is it? And many of the questions required more options - oh well maybe I will win the £100

This was certainly not a well thought out survey, I can only assume it was devised by a marketing team with no professional input, but as Moonshadow says, I might win the £100 !.

I must be thick! I can't find how to access the survey just this thread

nanagill...at the bottom of the first posting it says 'the survey is here' the here is in blue click on that and it will take you to the survey...

Very confusing. Mind you I did do it late at night when too lazy to go upstairs to bed!

claireseptember I think we all found it confusing and not well thought out. I am not sure how they are going to gather the information they want from it. Heads need to return to the drawing board.

I have completed it but it wasn't a very well designed survey

What about,existing difficult relationships in later life when you have given your youth and time is wreaking it's heavy hand .I would have had to made up most of the answers .

I have filled in the survey, but my concern is that it is far too generalised. Bereavement and divorce have different affects and some men move on more quickly but so do some women.

i've completed the questionnaire but have had to answer "other" with explanations for some of them.

I started but found it confusing so I stopped after answering a few questions.

I was widowed at 50 and am now 64. I have experienced a new relationship for 3 years but it became very difficult with trying to fit my grown up children into the scenario, as they did not really like the new situation. It was difficult and in the end I was relieved to end the relationship. I now know this was the right thing for me but when one is first widowed everyone is always asking if you have found someone new and that puts pressure on one. I am so happy now to be in my own space with loving children and grandchildren and am not looking for anyone and although sometimes I can be lonely I just do not want to be tied down.

Read the first question and thought, not for me.
