Am I crazy to want more?

I'll ignore your petty little rant and point out my OP question was aimed to find if I was alone in thinking that I am the only one who's reached this stage of life and still has the need for a challenge in their life!

As for your sports car comment, I merely pointed out that I didn't run a Porshe..the nearest I have to a sports car is a Z3 and I hardly ever drive that!

I could probably afford to buy and run one but I have no interest in owning one. A car is just a car to me and they all cost too much money to run so, the last thing I'd spend my money on is one that depreciates even faster!

So post ... 160 I think? ... and you have still not said what exactly or even roughly you intend to do to fix your issue. Does it matter if you're alone in this? Surely your life is the important thing here, not what others think, have done or feel?

Stop giving us flimsy rebuttals and tell us what you're doing to fix your issues. Either that or stop posting if you have nothing of substance to add to your OP.

This is pathetic.

After all it was she who made the first advances and asked me out. ****hole!

Just because she doesn't think it's weird doesn't mean it isn't weird.

I certainly wouldn't be interested in the advances of some 2 year old.

Seriously, what on EARTH could you have in common with someone more than 2 decades younger than you? You respective childhoods and teens would be vastly different. Heck, I'm guessing your kids are a similar age to her.... how can you now see that as weird?

Or is it because young women are essentially bragging rights +100?

pull your finger out and go travelling - or failing that, become an alcoholic.

If you have to ask that question, then you know so little of life!

He's absolutely correct until you prove otherwise.

Errr... I think I answered that last night...if you'd care to read back!

However...I was curious to see if others had reached this stage in life and still wanted more challenge from life!
Life doesn't end as one reaches 50!

Nobody has suggested it does. You're just in a flap because you've realised your existence is shallow.

What!? He's correct to jump to the conclusion that he shouldn't be in his relationship until this guy.. who obviously knows a heck of a lot more about his own relationship has to PROVE that they love each other? You have a cheek. It might be a little weird and out of the ordinary for most of us but that doesn't make it WRONG. Who the hell do you think you are to tell him his relationship won't work.

Stop picking on this guy because he has a young wife. Frankly it stinks of jealousy in here. It is also wildly off topic.

No it doesn't but no one is suggesting this strawman argument. Wanting to do new and exciting things is great, I mean REALLY great, but your posts come across like a teenager wondering how to tackle college or uni or some other Great Unknown Thing. You're a grown man, you can and should make these decisions with your wife, not with us.

I just ... I don't even know what else to say. I hope you work things out and I won't post anymore because I'm clearly not helping. Best of luck with whatever you decide to do.

Bigot doesn't mean what you think it does.

I'm not picking on anyone and I am certainly not jealous. Without wanting to 'do an OP' I am very happily married with a little one and I genuinely wish the OP well. I just find it incredulous that he doesn't seem to know what to do with his life and he's asking GD of all places for advice (and ignoring it).

yer_averagejoe · 15 Apr 2011 at 09:35

Well, regardless of what you think of him taking a shot at his wife is a cheap one. He came in asking if anyone else felt the same and it sounds like hes scoping for a little inspiration but looks like it has backfired with all the abuse.

Sorry for implying that you were jealous, i'm not about to question your marriage

[FnG]magnolia · 15 Apr 2011 at 09:42

Don't mistake advice and opinion for abuse. The pic? Yeah, probably not proud of that in retrospect but there is some very good advice in this thread and all of it - ALL of it - is being ignored.

And with that, I'm doing what I previously promised and definitely not replying anymore.

I think

yer_averagejoe · 15 Apr 2011 at 09:48

ha, i'm sure there are other threads that ARE worthy of abuse. For example, some guy just started a thread about how a poached egg blinded him. Go go go!

A little weird? There's a good chance that the OP is older than the parents of his wife!!!

No hint of jealously here, I am very happy with my partner, and have no interest in marrying a 2 year old.

Honestly, what purpose did mentioning a wife half his age serve? Was it pre-empt assumed responses of "Get a younger woman, lolz!"?

L-J,
So chillin’ in the front seat (In the front seat)
In the back seat (In the back seat)
I’m drivin’, cruisin’ (Yeah, yeah)
Fast lanes, switchin’ lanes
Wit’ a car up on my side (Woo!)
(C’mon) Passin’ by is a school bus in front of me
Makes tick tock, tick tock, wanna scream
Check my time, it’s Friday, it’s a weekend
We gonna have fun, c’mon, c’mon, y’all

You obviously need to sit down, spend some serious time alone, and get to 15th prestige on Call of Duty Black ops, you could then die a happy man.

Joking aside, I personally would take a year out to travel and see as many parts of the Earth as possible, the Aurora Borealis, Macchu Picchu, Cycle Bolivia's 'Death Road'. I'd also do this in backpacker style, as staying in fancy hotels whilst travelling and experiencing stuff is to me, stupid. I think it's natural to always want more, and doing the same thing you have been doing for XX years is not going to help things at all.

Anyway, that is my 2 pence.

Stop trying to provoke a response with your "2 year old" comments. You and everyone else in the thread know its such a stupid remark as to be deemed not even an argument.
