(10,337 posts)I discussed your post with my wife. She said to tell you about us. She was 46 when I met her. I am 14 years her junior. I consider myself a trophy husband. This labor day, we celebrated our 24th anniversary. Life before her is but a vague memory.
The one thing I learned about life is that it always changes. It may get better, it may get worse but it always changes. There have been a number of occasions when I have seriously considered suicide. These were followed by times when life was fabulous. From this I learned that no matter where you are today, it will not be the same tomorrow so hang in there, the adventure has not played itself out yet.
I know you are hurting today but, trust me, life is just getting started. One of the best parts about getting older is that you reach a point where you no longer give a fuck about what others think about you and you can finally just be who you are. This is also a great time to fall in love because neither of you is pretending to be who you are not.
It gets better
