Hi there, I'm happily married and in my early 40s. So far the 40s are the best years of my life.
I've never felt more empowered, organised, confident and uninhibited. Fortunately, my husband still finds me attractive but then I work hard to keep in shape mentally and physically as does he. We have a wonderful bond.
But I have a dread of getting older. I don't like the thought of being 50 or 60. I hope that changes by the time I get there.
Has anyone else struggled with the thought of getting older? Please tell.

ha! very good question! I spent most of my 30's making babies with my wife and we are the proud mom and dad of 4 amazing boys! We did not sleep at all throughout our 30's and this continued in our 40's...I just turned 50 this year and I lost about 25lbs leading to the event and I feel the most alive ever! I love every minute of every day!!!! Something for you to look forward to! However...I do have friends that never had kids and they have turned 50 maybe about 50lbs heavier than when they were 30 and are looking towards retiring and death...not good!!!!!
