From a work point of view it has to be absolute communication, there is an end product at the end of it. From a dating site point of view I would say both, however there just doesn't seem to be that end result and ultimate satisfaction.
I have no problem with admitting I'm wrong, it may take a while, but I will apologise. I've even done it just to keep the peace when the other person won't back down.
Doesn't happen very often though cos I'm usually right!
Well I don't agree with you there either, my daughter is 27 and looks much younger than the guys of her age she dates. Same goes for many of her friends.
It has a lot to do with genes I suppose, and how you look after yourself. Beer bellies, hairloss etc etc are not just to be found on the over forties male you know.
Maybe it's because we don't see ourselves as others do and feel younger than our age betrays, but when I look at profiles of men my age or a little more I often think they look much older.
I drink two or three glasses of red wine every day.....hey I live in Spain!
Seriously though, I never suffer hangovers or headaches so haven't had the need to resort to any kind of pill or potion. Very rarely do I drink anything other than red wine and I think that is the key.....don't mix drinks.
Aries.....MARRIAGE! Spelling! Aaaaargh. Sorry, I pointed it out in my previous post and you've done it again twice.
I hope you have a secretary to write your letters.
Don't beat me up again guys, now you all know by now that it irritates me to distraction when NATIVE, well educated speakers of English spell incorrectly.
Back to the question, I'm not sure you answered my previous response. Don't you believe, or see in your line of work, more and more older couples divorcing once the kids have flown the nest? A long marriage can indeed go through very low periods which both can get through if they are lucky AND they have had enough high periods during the marriage to make it worth it.
If you mean single as opposed to married, then it's because I don't want to be married.
If however you mean single i.e. without a partner, then it's because I'm never in one place long enough, due to my work, to establish a long-term relationship.
As for your question, some people hold the view that easier and quicker legal access to divorce could be the reason why people perhaps don't try harder to make their relationship work. I don't know what aspect of the law you work in but you probably have more insight into this viewpoint than I do.
I believe this may partly be the answer, but I think we also have to take into account that more and more middle aged people, women in particular, are filing for divorce when their children have grown up. They often have suffered unhappy marriages for a long time but stayed married out of misguided loyalty to their husband or because of the children.
Have you ever been in a pub and seen a middle aged couple or older sitting together drinking but not speaking to each other all evening? I have, many times, and it is very sad.
Nowadays it is much easier, for many women, regardless of age, to live independently and not suffer the plight that our sisters in the past endured.
Well folks I'm taking a week off partly because I have a lot of work to do and because evil child Cristina....damn I named her! continues to bait me and I don't want to be banned which I surely will be if I let rip!
A very Happy New Year to you all and see you all soon.
