bren1: Yeh....my cooking is tasting better these day's too

The only heat in my bedroom at the moment is from the electric blanket...

Not sure electric blanket is all that safe, but a kiss and a cuddle would have done you wonders instead. Do you agree?

tinaferrara: used to not really anymore,in this world it seems too difficult

It seems difficult because marriage has broken down a lot leading to more divorce, and common-law relationships are on the increase.

mike1937: FWIW - If men are permitted to enter this thread, I am probably in a minority in today's UK climate as I hold to and respect traditional values and views on this and many other matters.

If you didn't think you were permitted why enter. I think you enjoy debating
things.

Angel_Diva: i agree with you Mike...trouble is its so easy to disgard what partner we dont want for a new one...days gone by that we put up and shut up and got on with it....

There are still people who "put up"', "put out"" and shut up, and that's not long ago when they did that.

mychelle: Do you still hold traditional views of dating , engagement , then marriage?
Nope, never have believed in the fairytale fallacy of dating, engagement then living happily ever after for all eternity.

It does happen. My parents have been happily over 50 years. My sister is happily married for 30 years, I have several brothers that are recently married within 5-10 years and they seem happy. I think it is important to choose your partner wisely and keep the communication open.

That must be where I've gone wrong all my life then. Made unwise decisions in my choice of partners and spent most of my time ignoring them laugh

It's great that long happy relationships seem to run in your family... the chances of you celebrating 50 years of togetherness are looking good to me thumbs up after you've met your dreamboat on here I mean wine

I hope so.

It can be heartbreaking to lose them. My sister is a nurse and she knew of an couple in their late 80's who were in the nursing home together and had been married many many years. They would walk down the halls hand in hand. She said she started crying when she overhead the woman say "why did you leave me." He husband had died recently. It must be very very hard when you have loved someone for a lifetime, and then loose them. But as the saying goes, it is better to have loved and lost then to have never loved at all.

That story reminds me of a couple down my street who were married for over 60 years. The lady passed away in feb from a stroke and her hubby who was 87 must have been heartbroken because when his son came to visit one day in May. He found that he'd hung himself. What a shock that must have been for the son. Oh, I remember full story now, they'd made some kind of a pact that if one died the other had to commit suicide so they could still be together.

That's too bad. Too bad he wasn't thinking about his kids and how that would affect them. Usually, though the spouce passes away shortly after of natual causes. I don't know if it is because they are both old, or if the spouse that is left behind just loose the will to live. I would hope I would have the courage to go on, but still remember and cherish all the good times we had.
