Lately I have been depressed probably because I realize my mortality is becoming more obvious. I am relatively healthy, getting in shape both because I want to be in shape in general plus I am going on a cruise in December of 2019. I don't want to be in bad shape when I go and do not want to tire easily.
Right there with you! I turned 58 last month, so yeah 60 is knocking on the door and I'm not answering, LOL! Personally I think staying healthy is key in combating age though. I go to CrossFit 3 times a week and a conventional gym 3 times a week. I eat well and stay active. I have a very young girlfriend who gives me a lot of energy too. I actually feel healthier and stronger than I did in my 40's. I definitely have thoughts about how much longer I'm going to be around, and think about how a heart attack or stroke could quickly add 20 years to my age but hey, all we can do is take care of ourselves as best we can and keep plugging along!

Just in the past couple of days, I have thought about my "wife" more often.
I'm just curious, when you think about her what are you thinking? Do you miss her, and still want to reconcile after all this time? Do you have much contact with her? I see my XW at least once a week because we still share custody of S16 for now. For the longest time she seemed like an alien, so when I was around her it didn't make me miss our marriage because she didn't even really resemble who I was married to. But the last couple of years she has slowly become more like the W I knew and loved. Much more mellow and relaxed and that old quirky sense of humor has come back. I honestly have no interest in reconciling at this point, but it's interesting to see that after all these years she's becoming her old self again. Wondering if you see any of that in your W?

Ideally, I would have a friend to hang with, go on trips, etc. I am not worried about being in a relationship. I just want to have someone that is my friend.
Do you think she would be interested in that?

I dont know if there is anyone still on the forum from back 12 years ago that even knows me but it feels good to stop in after being away for well over a year.
