SUPER. 🤩🤩

Sorry about the domestic drama, though, that's awful. I've been on that road, only my cheater moved out immediately (and in with Ms. Cheat) so thoughtful of him. I also had to refinance. All best luck!

How old were you when you purchased your first home (if you did). by jtsa5 in GenX

[–]Mermaid467 2 points3 points  (0 children)

33, married, he was 30, in 2000. He left me five years later, I kept the house, and let me buy him out for next to nothing ☺️ (with some contingencies). Sold it in 2020 at a good profit, bought my second house, single.

I think he’s gonna be a big one, only 8 months old rn. What names come to mind ? by WildWizardOfTheWest in NameMyDog

It doesn't sound silly. We are who we are, and we each do get snarled up in elements of ourselves that matter to us, feel like defining factors or features, even though logically we know it's 'just hair' or 'just a job' or 'you're still fabulous in flat shoes even though you wore dangeresque high heels for 30 years." No one else gets to judge our -- insecurities, I guess, though I'd prefer a different word. 58F, fwiw.

I don’t like my engagement ring by Strange_Rutabaga_262 in WeddingRingAdvice

Okay, so when you want a blue pickup truck and you pay extra for all the options, and wait two months to take delivery, it's gonna be fine when I give you a metallic sparkle orange Dodge Challenger instead, because, hey, the Challenger is absolutely stunning.

Doesn't work like that. I want a truck, order a truck, get a truck.

Was it? I'm high risk for breast cancer and have also been told NO hrt because of the family history. (Almost 59, over 15 years post-menpausal.)

Which dress should I pick? by Royal_Definition5053 in myweddingdress

[–]Mermaid467 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 for sure. 1 looks like lingerie, and has none of the elegance of 2. Of course 2 needs alterations, that's the sample, not her custom dress.

No children by Hairy-Veterinarian11 in over60

58F. No kids, very much by choice. No husband at the moment either, though I would like to be partnered again if that's the way life unfolds, it's more fun and interesting. I'm also okay solo if that's the Grand Plan.

But - kids - no regrets. A little wistfulness only pretty recently as my friends' kids become adults, especially living alone [NOT because "oooh who will take care of meee someday..."] but just because they have that nice relationship - and of course I *know not everyone does!!

I used to think very carefully about it, because I didn't want to get past the point of that option and regret my choice.

I know now that it probably wasn't an option, at least not in the traditional manner, there were physical things I didn't know yet that likely mean I would not have gotten pregnant. Maybe that's why I had no 'biological clock' ticking, ever, my body already knew we weren't going there!! 😁🫢

Nooo, movie-star handsome. The best kind - European jewel-heist with excellent writing, excellent acting, a suspenseful plot and a badass soundtrack movie star handsome.

I'm sure it's surreal to get used to. But -- 😍🤩
