Marriage/happiness/longevity.

I like a girl at the moment. She’s a nurse which shows a gentle and caring side but is also very together.

She’s in one of my local pubs weekly. From what I can work out, she shares equal custody of a teenage son (which doesn’t bother me) with his father. I’m assuming she’s single as she’s never mentioned a fella. They tend to quite quickly, I find.

It was my decision to break up with the last one. She’d become unbearable. Very able to achieve in life but just too lazy. The world is full of them. It might be too soon…
Get your nuts in there
 
Watching this thread carefully as I'm about to get hitched for the first time....at 61...lol..
I've needed to prioritise my emotional needs as I know it's led to feeling of emptiness now that material things are no longer a concern. Think it might be very beneficial for my mental health...
...but we'll see...I don't look at it as too much of a risk...more like an adventure and an opportunity to understand myself better
Good luck to you JTP.
I was with my wife for 25 years before she passed away with a brain tumour in 2017
A couple of years later I found another diamond and after 4 years together getting married next month.
Respect, enjoying each other’s interests and laughing a lot helps.
JTP I’m just turned 60 mate.

Good on yer mate... Never too late... and this will be my first and hopefully one and only time;)
 
That’s a very fair point mate, keeping that daft sense of humour you both share is as important and undervalued as ‘small talk’ imo, or rather that chemistry you share just going about your day to day things chatting about something, or nothing.

Yes, this is spot on, as @bluegirl74 also says. It's not just being able to laugh, but also to talk to one another - sharing serious things when you have to but also inconsequential stuff most of the time.

I've worked from home since before COVID, but for most of that time my wife continued working in her workplace. Last year, she had to give up her job for health reasons, so we're now at home together (albeit in different rooms for most of my working hours) for most of the time in what's not a tiny flat but isn't massive, either.

Being able to chat for spells during the working day and even have a few laughs is a real pleasure. Makes me working process much more pleasurable than either being in an office all day or being at home working on my own.

Have you thought of asking Thorin for some advice?
