Whether it’s 50 or 70 or 34 at some point your wife will turn into a gross old lady. In the very post that you quoted, told you that this was my opinion. And jeez, what is it with beauty? Why do people clutch on to it so desperately? It’s sad to see people give so much importance to such a superficial thing. ---

To those, I can offer no proof, so believe what you will. “In case”? Dude, this post makes me think she DID, and you’re tired of sleeping on the couch while she packs your things. ---

Very odd. I’ve heard of some older women who insist on having sex with the lights off because they fear they’re unsexy. I don’t understand it, myself. For all her faults and her aging, I find Pepper Mill incredibly sexy. I will follow her into the bedroom to watch her undress at night. ---

Mid 60’s here mt girlfriend 63. We still have sex at least 3 or 4 times a week. 18 years ago she was still a head turner, now not so much but the physical attraction has grown if anything.
