Just dropping in and was thrilled to read the update. It sounds like as you continue the balancing piece, some things are solidifying...slowly, but that's the best way for it to happen. I also appreciate your description of the quiet confident male which is a nice alternative for me to read about as a guy (vs. the traditional Alpha Male concepts, some of which are difficult for me to fully grow into).
Great to hear the news of your update, keep checking in when you have a chance.
It's my birthday today...the big 50! Really nice card from W, with a warm, very touching personal message written in...."all my love", along with x's and o's and a little heart.
It has been a very good weekend for W and I, some nice, very encouraging R talks and more physical stuff.
At the risk of "too much info", Friday night we ML, and it was fabulous. Then, last night, we found ourselves in that famous number just before 70. Wow, we have not done 'that' for quite a while!
Anyway, she's at school this weekend, and my son and daughter are taking me out for lunch in a couple hours, so gotta run....have a great day everyone.
I'm glad you had a Happy Birthday! I hope you react better to being 50 than my h did!
I am fine with being 50. In fact, if you were to see me, you'd guess my age to be closer to 40. I do take care of myself, and project a positive, energetic vibe.
Besides...they say 50 is the new 30!
It must be true. I'm the lead singer/guitarist in a rock band, and we're doing Stone Temple Pilots/Nirvana/Alice In Chains songs alongside the classic U2/Beatles/Stones tunes. It's like I'm living in two different decades!
That's a Gemini for ya
Me: 54 Her: 50 and sexy as hell M: 32yrs T: 34yrs Bomb: Sept 26-07 "lost our emotional connection" Bomb 2: Dec 25-07 she's "not feeling desire" She asked if she could come home Apr 26-08! Everything's GREAT!
Things are still going well, and the times when I doubt her commitment are getting fewer and farther between.
She has decided to quit her mondo-stressful, under-appreciated job. To do this, we need to lose her 55k income, which is definitely gonna hurt in the short term. But to start her new career, she needs to sever the tie with the old place.
This makes me feel pretty good. She wouldn't be doing this if she didn't feel solid about her & I, and about me supporting the 2 of us through this time. Big leap of faith for both of us, but mostly for her, I think...
Anyway, as I said, things are good, we talk a lot, and we are doing things separately as well as together. We are going kayaking on a mountain lake on Sunday (she doesn't know this yet, I only told her we were doing "something" outdoors), and she loves it when i kidnap her for surprise outings.
So there's my update for now. I'd rate us a good 7 out of 10, with optimism for the number to go up.

Mink, I'm so happy for the two of you, and your family as well.
