Yes, and look at how we are labeled.

Can you see yourself saying that same sort of thing (as Jack Nicholson did at the end of Something's Got To Give standing on a bridge over the Seine in Paris) and having your life turn out, given what your experience has been so far?

I can't for mine. Ultimately, it seems like you can't for yours, either. But we made a commitment and that counts for something even if it isn't very satisfying.

I'm 56 years old so it's not like I'm some immature teenager with raging hormones.

No intimacy and/or sleeping alone. She loves it. Yours does, too.
