After 17 years at the age of 50 I'm starting my martial arts journey again. Any advice for a former Black Belt who will start as a White Belt? Hint: Spouse is a practicing Black Belt and it feels a little weird.

My honest opinion, Alan, is that there is no such thing as a "former Black Belt." Take a look at what you put in your profile here - - "Tae Kwon Do, black belt." Color belts are always changing as you progress and learn; a Black Belt is a rank for life.
No too sure how you went, as not too sure hold old this thread is.
Its entirely up to you as to what YOU feel confortable with.
50 isn't an issue, you just do it to the best of your abilities
just relax and get on with it. sometimes its nice to wear a white belt as there's no pressure to perform etc
good luck my friend
