I have no great stories to tell about last night, except some things I learned about my friend of 13 years. I thought I knew a great deal about her, turns out she's been hiding some things...
For instance, she smokes. She has smoked for years and no one has known about it. She used to do drugs, this was a shocking revelation. Normally it wouldn't be shocking but for the fact that she just doesn't seem the type. But these things were not the most surprising. I learned last night that she recently had sex with only the 3rd man in her life, she is 45 and good looking (oh yes, she is also straight).
She treated me to the details of the escapade from the time they met to the culmination. Now I am worried about her because it is only the 3rd man she has ever slept with. I am afraid she is going to expect more from this man than he is able to provide. Here is where I should tell you he is married and so is she. It all seems so greatly out of character for her.
I wonder if women have a midlife crisis? Maybe it's not just the men that go through wanting a sports car and a younger sex partner. Or maybe, we just never fully know anyone.
Whatever it is, it made for good cocktail conversation.

one thing I have learned is nothing is out of character for anyone. learned that lesson a few years ago. everyone has secrets they hide. And yes, women go thru mid-life crises. mine was sellinggiving away evertything I owned including a very successful business and moving 1600 miles away. You've been gong thru one yourself.
ReplyDeleteAs women get further away from 40 they feel less and less desireable and need validation. She better be careful. Being 45 and out on your ass is not a good thing tobe and I can guarantee the married guy isn't going to give up his life for her. You are right to be worried about her.
