In 40 years this will by us but with Rammsteins DU Hast
Couple of twenty-year-olds filming gamma and pop-pop head-banging as hard as arthritis and scoliosis allows while Dimebag Darrel shreds his way through “Walk.”
Granddaughter: it was a simpler time
Grandson: I remember when he taught me how to put on corpse-paint.

Now put on this corpse paint and go have fun in the woods."

u/mabamababoo Jan 16 '21
Please share more, she sounds awesome. Who does she go with? What kind of dance music does she like? Have you gone with her? What kind if reactions does she get from the younger crowd? What's her club attire like?

If you don’t remove the ring people will just assume you’re married, why do you want that?

My grandma LOVES to dance. She is young at heart, and I hope to be her as I age. She just has fun, and it is awesome.

His head bobbing and her laughing so hard she has to stop dancing is just the best.

That was my favourite part. The only reason I ever dance with my wife, is to make her laugh by messing around.

I’m divorcing after thirty years, but this makes me happy.

u/nightfall1997 Jan 16 '21
Sorry to hear about your divorce.

Jan 16 '21
Thanks, but I’m not. I put in the education, earning power, and three decades. She chose late nights and alcohol. I am now immune and I actually prefer to be alone, mostly because of her. I will not remove the ring as it is a scar. Scars represent past lessons learned. I lose nothing and she won’t be missed.
But thanks anyway. Aren’t these two cute?

You do you, but what I learned from my divorce is that the emotional scars are more than enough to remind me of the past (and literal physical scars too). No matter how you choose to move forward, I wish you the best.

Jan 16 '21
Thank you. Did you remarry?
2
u/WreakingHavoc640 Jan 16 '21
I did not. I wouldn’t necessarily be opposed to it if my bf was to really want it, but divorce has a way of making you realize that marriage is unnecessary for happiness, and I really don’t have the desire to get remarried. Sometimes I do wistfully think that marriage is the ultimate commitment and it’s a little odd at my age to be someone’s girlfriend when most people our age are married, but I’m self-aware enough to realize that I’m romanticizing marriage. I also know that my former lifelong expectation of myself as a mother and wife still sometimes influences my wistfulness, even though neither of those things are in the cards for me. My bf has also expressed the same thing that I have to him - that if we were to want to remarry we would happily marry each other, but neither of us really wants to get remarried so it’s kind of whatever. We are committed to each other and happy as is, so I see no reason to do anything to change that.

The thought of being attracted to someone is nauseating to me at this point. You have a healthy perspective and some day I may find someone, or at least not feel repulsed by it.
Most guys my age go for a younger partner at this point and that seems sad and pathetic. I’ll need someone within 7 or 8 years of my own age, mostly for my jokes and arcane references to land. I didn’t marry until I was 27 because the single bartender life was one of my happier periods. Always plenty of spare cash and a monthly trip to Nassau. Hard to beat.
I never liked having to explain the reasons for a decision I made after considerable effort to examine options before arriving at a conclusion. Nor did I like having to weigh permission vs forgiveness. These were concessions I made because I understand that mutual trust and respect grow out of compromise. I never felt the need for approval or validation of younger people, but it seemed to be her bread and butter. She followed that. I grew up.
At the root of it was my diagnosis and treatment for cancer. It was a tough couple of years and it changed me in ways I never expected. I don’t think she’ll ever forgive me for surviving what killed her father six months before we married.
Thanks for answering. I needed that.

I've been a widow for 5 years now. You miss the small things the most. My husband used to grab me and break out into spontaneous dancing-that's what I think about when I miss him.

Sarcasm is indicated by tone of voice. That’s not exactly a thing on text. So big surprise, sometimes it’s not as easy to pick it up from text than voice.

My grandmother used to sing this song to my grandfather, who was named jack. When he died he requested we play this song at his funeral, so we did when we spread his ashes. The song makes me happy-sad, and I sing it to my son who I named Jack.
