British actor Simon Boughey had been engaged (sort of) three times, but never made it down the aisle. By 49, he had made peace with the idea that marriage just wasn't for him. 

A trip to New York and a matchmaking friend changed his plans... and his life. In this episode, Simon shares reflections on why he felt he was meant to be single,  and how the right woman changed his mind. We talk about transatlantic love, taking risks, building a relationship while in the throes of grief, leveling up, and recognizing gamechangers. 

If you've ever wondered whether it's too late for you, this one's for you.

Topics covered: finding love after 40, mid-life love, transatlantic relationships, grief and love, long distance relationships, commitment
