P2YL | 55. MORE inspiration for Part 2 Of Your (Love?) Life

Katrina Robinson • 6 March 2026

Why you need to date differently second time round PLUS The books and films that help you do it

Crown-shaped illustration with text about dating, books, films, and self-care. It features flowers, books, and hearts.

With this post I’m continuing the series I started in P2YL | 52. How to find Part 2 (Love?) Life inspiration.


Use it as a handy guide to finding ideas on my website for aspects of your own Part 2.

Here I’m focusing on two specific elements and three ideas for each one:


  • Entertainment and infotainment to cheer you along the way ➡️  Films and books that bring balm


🎬 Films and books to bring you balm

Fed up of improbable rom-coms and saccharine-sweet stories that induce cavities rather than bringing a spring to your soul?


Here are three posts on films and books that made me realise:


  • I could take action to live fully and fascinatingly while single;


  • I could act intentionally if I wanted to find love and marriage again.



📅 Midlife dating

🫦‘Your romantic life isn’t over just because of what your husband did.’


💐 ‘You need to learn to flirt again.’


These are two things that were said to me by my wonderfully supportive and encouraging female GP as I took my first nervous steps back into the world of girl meets boy after 14 years as a smug married.




I’ll be sharing more topics next time and over the coming weeks including:


  • Marriage — infidelity — divorce


  • Remarriage


  • Post-divorce finances: how to be ‘Poor but posh’
