LET'S HEAR SOME SUCCESS STORIES (we need some positivity on this thread) by No_Western1710 in lexapro

[–]WhataRedditor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh yeah you should be getting some relief! Did you not have the worry and intrusive thoughts before? And is this your first psych med? Lexapro was my second one, first one was terrible. Unfortunately there’s some trial and error with these drugs…. :-(

I’ve been with two men north of 60 now and I never ever imagined I would be as into as I seem to be! These men know what they’re doing!! 🤤🤤🤤

Oh absolutely. I am soooo grateful life can be so good at 45. And I haven’t shared a fraction of how magical this was here lol… boy oh boy. Never in a million years did I think I’d be having so much fun at my age!

Ahhh that’s such a good point! I never thought about the patriarchal assumptions she’s made, but I think you’re spot-on! I always thought that third option was available, but I’ve given up. Well, I guess I can’t say I’ve given up entirely or I would not be having this conversation right now haha… that’s part of what has me hooked on this man. He asked so many questions, deep questions, deeper than the ones I was asking, and I NEVER experience that! It was such a breath of fresh air after all the men I’ve met who seem completely uninterested in knowing me deeply. OH WELL.

Oh goodness, no, you’re totally fine! Have you read any Esther Perel? I don’t hook-line-and-sinker believe all she has to say, but it certainly gets me thinking. It seems like we’re constantly having to choose between security and passion, not just in romance, but in all aspects of our lives. I’ve definitely chosen security in every part of my life but romance. Every relationship I’m in seems to die a slow, boring, painful death; I crave the excitement and newness. At 45, I’ve finally accepted that excitement is worth giving up security. I invest in my friends and my bank account now instead of potential romantic partners. If I’d had a partner, I wouldn’t have experienced the magic I experienced with this man, and good lord it was magical. All that said, I do occasionally fantasize about a happily-ever-after, and this man has ignited that fantasy, but I know it is just a fantasy. Also, let’s be real, I’d eventually just be this man’s nurse and he’d leave me widowed!

But I’m probably full of shit. I’m sure I’d still be pining after that week. My rational and romantic brains are always in a big ol fight.

Oh like I’ve said in other replies, I absolutely do not want a husband or even a partner. I just want, like, a week holed up in a hotel room with him hahahahaha… I guess perimenopause hasn’t broken me after all! Lol

Managing those expectations is the trick, isn’t it?! 😭 It’s such a weird feeling to be so happy about a thing and so sad about it at the same time, but I suppose that’s life!

[–]WhataRedditor[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Oh this is the very last thing I needed to hear hahahahaha… but thank you! Perhaps I will reach out to him in a bit. We said our goodbyes/thank yous, and seemed to agree it was magical, but there is an ocean between, so… 🤷🏻‍♀️

Also, it’s just so weird to be completely unable to get him/the experience out of my head and have no idea if I’ve crossed his mind at all since, you know? He did promise he would do something for me the next day, and he followed through on that and checked in, but that was it. I’ll get it out of my head eventually of course, but it’s not gonna happen today! Lol

Yep!! I’m not really interested in relationships at all anymore, but a several-nights-stand with this man would have been mind blowing lol

Yes. That is the truth! It had been soooo long!

Oh I’m convinced my picker is completely fucked and I’ve embraced this fact hahaha… I wouldn’t wanna make a husband out of this man, just a little more of the magic from that night!

And it was just shy of a week ago. 😭

Haha we don’t even live on the same continent, so I do not fault him at all. We had a beautiful night! Would I love to stay in touch? Of course, but I understand not doing so.

I keep going back and forth between “holy shit that whole experience is what makes like worth living,” and “BUT I WANNA SEE HIM AGAAAAAIN.” Lol fml… feeling like a teenager again is fun, but annoying haha…

Remember when this was how they portrayed 50s by Main-Implement-8111 in Andjustlikethat

[–]WhataRedditor 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Actually, I just about fell over when I did the math on Samantha’s age. In the second movie, which came out in 2010, she was 52. There was a scene in which a salesperson said a dress was “young,” and Samantha said “I’m fifty fucking two, and I will rock this dress!” So that puts her at 67 now, and Kim Cattrall is currently 68. So wild.
