    When I was younger, I worked with a guy named Gene. I’d hear him on the phone with his wife, so happy, so loving and I asked him about her and he said, he’d been in a bad marriage, gotten divorced, and was in a good marriage with a great woman and every single day he realized what he had now and was grateful for it.

    Also at the same job a woman named Delena, she had come out of an abusive marriage and had a great boyfriend, she told me sex was better for women when they are older, and she was really happy too.

    I think about them both now I am in my first marriage but second long term relationship (last one my ex got unemployed, got radicalized on the Internet and eventually got physically abusive, it started good, 15 good years 5 bad ones). I am happy every day now like Gene and Delena were. I wish this for you and also want to tell you old people make better decisions with relationships, you have a better chance now.

    BTW, Delena was also right about sex. It’s better when older.
