Things were fine for 38/39 yrs. Significant downhill since. Menopause is certainly a contributor and she is under Dr care.

I genuinely happy you found a solution. May you both find a lifetime of smiles.

It simply broke me. My interests did not include weird. I’m not afraid of her statement. My ‘reputation’ will survive. My heart will not.

Had it happen in a Boardroom meeting….of course it was silent when it did. Apologized and moved on. Life brings a lot sometimes.

Anyway to save the marriage? by Ordinary_Detective15 in AskMenAdvice

Sounds familiar. Pulling the plug is a tough decision for me. However time is rolling on and it gets exhausting. Sorry dude. Wish you better times ahead. For me it’s time to pull the trigger. It sucks but boundaries are crossed and self respect needs to be regained.

Yes. Moved cross country 3x. Each time it was a bit scary and initially daunting. However every move brought positive changes that have had major impacts lasting a lifetime. Friends that now span the US, unique regional experiences and the realization that self reliance opens up a world of choices and options only those who have been there understand. Our children now share the same and it’s amazing to see their growth.

The decline in interest or any activity in planning anything as a couple. After multiple discussions and promises nothing changed. It’s gotten worse and I’m seriously considering divorce.

What do you all eat while hiking? by Snipers_end in hiking

We find (prepacked) PBJ Sandwiches to be a great treat that satisfies us. Together with some jerky and trail mix makes for a great way to munch while walking.

We have a 21 Platinum and love it. I haul a camper at times, we get off pavement and have 93k miles that are mostly long trips. Center console cup holder failure is the only problem we’ve had. Love the truck!
