All the comments are right on! My early 20's children are calling my "guy" and "my friend" my boyfriend and it sounds so wierd! I introduce him as my friend and when referring to him in an all girl outing, he's my beau or sweetie. But here's a new off-the-wall one... my X just purchased his girlfriend (and yes, that's how he introduces her) a "promise ring". LOL now that one is absolutely hilarious and so teeny-bopper! At age 50, what does he promise? For pete's sake, either date, live together or get engaged!
Thanks Billie! Your opening humor had me cracking up! :)) Your whole story to us is so right-on! I made a conscience effort when I turned 40 (8 years ago) to get myself in shape. It's a constant battle, but I exercise every day. I'm not "twiggy", but a comfortable size with confidence in who I am! And, you're right the sex is great! Thanks again for this good read, I loved it! :)
I haven't been able to find such support groups here in Manhattan, maybe I've been looking in the wrong place. I've been divorced for 1.5 years and the past 6 months it's finally soaked in. I'm 47 and this year would have marked our 30th anniversary. It is scary and feels very wierd! It would be nice to form an informal divorce support group.
