My Fellow "Mature" Individuals..got to ask you some questions.

Next week, I will celebrate my 58th birthday. I feel like I missed out on a bunch of things.

One of them includes the "Mid-Life Crisis". I guess this is more a guy thing than not, but I never felt the compulsion to buy an expensive, flashy high-performance car, or go for a younger woman(welp, I'm engaged to a 43-year-old). Was I supposed to squander my cash on that?

The other thing was "Life Beginning At 40". Is it supposed to? I feel that life just kinda..carried on.

Anyone else NOT experience these things?

Same but a bit older .. only I'm divorcing and paying eye watering amounts for her to go away after she spent our whole marriage running from shouldering adult level responsibility alongside me.

Pre-nup my man .. air tight pre-nup

She's probably saying the same thing to her friends online right now..

@BobbyMoeven Bragging about getting away with it? I'm sure.

I am guessing she's pretty thrilled about it..

@BrandNewMan That's in the works!

@uncalled4 Smart man. No way I"ll marry again without it.

@BrandNewMan it was 23 years ago yesterday. Learned my lesson. And yet, I am authoring this from the same house.

@uncalled4 Good luck to you two!

I don't want to stay here .. not in this state or house. Both sons graduated college - one working right away one in grad school/TA position going to be a professor. The marriage was ~ over years ago, stayed to get the boys through school without a starter home each in student loans. Time to move on now.
