i can't help but notice

the number of people i've known over the years recently launching their new partner on facebook / instagram etc.

 

one minute. married / kids / adoring photos (possibly with dogs etc).  the next thing you know, it's all doey eyed photos of the new partner.

 

What mutters said. An acquaintance (mid 50s, divorced last year, two adult children) has just got engaged to a 24 year old ffs. I strongly suspect she is already pregnant. I mean fvck that sh1t man. 

Eddie even better friend of mine plastered the engagement photos over Facebook then broke up before the wedding so he'll get regular reminders of that memory.

True love 🥰

Indeed clubbers. It is heart warming to see! I am absolutely sure the small matter of him being worth about USD20 million is entirely irrelevant. I mean sure she LIKES the brand new 911 he got her for Christmas but it's really his personality she has fallen for. 

OTP for clergs tbf. Money, erm, bed, erm, erm, find something else to do with your time, age is for wisdom and refinement. Another curse of social media. What sort of manchild needs likes ffs. Some people’s lives are so shallow. 

the concept of starting all over again is so exhausting to behold that that alone is a basis for fidelity

This is what my head is saying. My libido, which is raging against the dying of the light, is saying something very different, something as seductive as it is stupid...

Ah, dating in one’s 40s. Actually not as ghastly as you’d think. Many are cracked but few are broken, and there are so few fvcks left to give it’s quite liberating.

I cannot think of anything I’d like to do less than start again in my 40s. Imagine having to go on dates again. Imagine having to change nappies again.  Seriously fook that shit. 

You may call my life pedestrian. But I have found contentment.
