I think we can all relate to that. My aunt and I often talk of the "old life/new life" scenario, I've cut my hair, joined a zumba class and started traveling and studying again. Like you say, it doesn't mean I love hubs any less, and as bigbear correctly says, we enjoy the freedom from caring, but have paid a heavy price for it. but I am convinced our loved ones would want us to live life to the full.Maybe they're a bit shocked cos I've moved on, seemingly too quickly for some of them, but life's too short and it doesn't mean I love hubby any the less. Just because I'm about to start on a new life now.
Love Phoebe xxxxxxxx
