[QUOTE="ScentofCedar, post: 25731, member: 3353"] It's the strangest thing, Esther. difficult child left us for the last time in February of 2006. So, though there were some rough patches, it has been just over a year since we dealt with anything major. Right now, believe it or not, I am wondering what life would be like if I were single, again. I never know whether I am working through unworked issues with my husband or whether we stayed together to deal with crisis after crisis ~ like two old horses harnessed to the same cart. And now, there is nothing but this empty cart we are dragging around because that is what we have always done. And that is one of the differences, I think. I never thought about the marriage other than to nurture either husband or myself through (another) rough time. And lately? I want to play, and be cherished, and be seen as something other than the horse in the harness next to yours. I wonder whether this is a normal stage for a marriage to go through. But I suspect it is more fallout from everything we have dealt with throughout the years. Barbara NOMAD, YOU FOX YOU! I finally have cleavage now that I am getting older? And I can't tell you how disconcerting it is to have a man look me in the boobs when he is talking to me. I am always tempted to look down there myself to see what the heck he's looking at! I swear, one of these days I AM going to look down my own shirt and say something smarty pants like "My boobs don't speak English." Or something. [img]:rofl:[/img] [/QUOTE]
