I just want folks to know that not all my moments are action packed. I usually go out with friends on Friday nights but I have to go chaperone a high school dance tonight. Well I'll go make it fun. But yeah, low spot in the winter and recovering from a minor surgery but there are so many great books. . . and then I get to look forward to traveling to Chile to see my daughter this summer.
I find my life interesting. I'm never bored, I have lot of variety, I find my husband interesting.... I never thought about it before.

I find my life interesting. I'm never bored, I have lot of variety, I find my husband interesting.... I never thought about it before.
I think I just came to a realization. I've been looking to find a partner for years--have had many dates but nothing seems to stick. It has occurred to me that the problem I'm having is finding an interesting man. Now I know what some of you are thinking--God preserve us from interesting partners, but I'm talking about interesting conversation, not drama. LOL. I want what you have.
A few years ago I dated a very interesting man--we could talk for hours. He turned out to be absolutely bat-shuyt crazy.
I think the curse is "may you live in interesting times", not "may you have an interesting mate."
For me that's a HUGE thing in a partner, but what happens is, we can do anything together and it's fun.
On the flip side, between RA/FM and menopause, I was so foggy brained I literally thought I had a stroke before being diagnosed. I was worried I wasn't able to interest HIM.
When I was dating on OLD I was the irritating chick who wouldn't meet a guy until we had chatted (in some form) for a couple weeks. If the convo wasn't good, I preferred staying home.

Well I suppose it could be a curse having an interesting mate, depending on what you mean by interesting. If you're stewing at night b/c you're alone, either physically or emotionally, that's not interesting, though it can make for some good stories. OTOH, if you guys have great chemistry and a lot of love, as it sounds like you do, that is exciting. Makes everything worth it, even dealing with the health issues.
So I'm chatting with a man OL right now and he is quite interesting, but he lives in Cleveland and I live in the southern corner of Missouri, so no telling when we'll meet, but he is fun to talk to. Till then I'm whooping it up in town whenever I get a chance and going dancing every chance I get so who knows. I don't drink alcohol but life is still fun and I can remember everything the next morning.
I find my life boring and monotonous. I would love a little excitement in it; not the bad kind - but something that gives me a change of pace from the same old, same old. Like winning the lottery. :-)
Emotionally neglected childhoods, got my hind end to counseling, read books, did group, made friend with those trying to better themselves too, Out with the old, in with the new.
It was my life and total focus for a couple of years. It was like getting another degree. Stayed out of the dating scene till I got myself together.
Met a like minded very successful man who did the same thing. We got married. Now we have a BIG interesting life. At work and play.
It takes time and focus. Anyone can do it. But like being a business owner, most won't do it. Won't even list the excuses, too negative.
OMG, are you my wife posting under that name?
I feel exactly the same way. So much so I have to stop myself from giggling to myself every now and then.
Some people may assume that this means I/we have never faced adversity. Nothing could be more wrong.
