While I was sitting on your virtual porch with my virtual shotgun I was wondering about whether "keeping on, keeping on" after age 52 1/2 is a good strategy. I am 60 now. I started when you did.
I have STOOD, and I am still married but not too happily.
One of the undercurrents that is not considered too often on this site, are finances. To be discarded when you are shuffling along in what you have imagined was a nice life, is disconcerting enough. To have to regroup and reinvent while you are foaming at the mouth with jealousy is difficult.
Fox, I do want to trade lives. I would blast your academic and sorta sweet husband. You would confront my wayward genius and frighten him. He would be so startled to see you in your nice leather pants.
I have no real suggestions. Well, I do. Keep the house.
