Wow. How did your friend get so lucky to be M for 24 years and never have some kind of R crisis??? I didn't think that was possible!?! Even my H's mom and stepdad, who have been mostly happily M for 23 years (and have been the most ridiculously happy couple I know since I met them 7 years ago) had a couple of bad years.
I know what you mean about just being burned out. Take it one day at a time. Just put one foot in front of the other and things WILL get better.
Every day is a new day.
And remember! Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery, but today is a gift, that's why they call it the present!
