Life Begins at Sixty

Sad story. I wonder sometimes. What would the world be like, if jealousy, envy and feelings of ownership between married couples didn't exist? Unfortunately, fear, anger and hatred are part of being human. Even from outsiders, who happily shame and label sexual freedom and indiscretion, those involved or trapped feeling unfulfilled, must continue to hide their true feelings, and responses. The lady in this story, apparently tried to get help for her and her husband in therapy. So when, years later, she found sexual and emotional satisfaction, it's no wonder she wanted to break away and take some joy during the remaining years of her life. And yet, some still call her a slut. So easy to judge and label.

I wonder if the husband knew the full extent of her unhappiness, would he let her find sexual satisfaction elsewhere. If he did, would she have stayed with him.

As it is, now he understands. She stayed until the children were grown up and independent. And, it must be understood that she will miss the children and grandchildren with regret. That alone is worse than any names assholes like NC26th throw at her.

What a lovely story.

Interesting story!

A subject that is probably more prevalent than is realized and is so very well handled here. Becoming impotent or merely losing interest in intimacy is all too common in relationships and it becomes an opportunity for one or both to resolve in their own interest.

This story handles it perfectly and rating it with 5 stars doesn’t do it justice. I would love to see a category for this subject.

Thank you, virusman, for this excellent story.

He is 75 now and living in a family home that is too large for him and he most likely cannot maintain properly. In 5 years he will be 80 and can expect health problems to begin. Not to burden his children, and his school age grandchildren, with taking care of an invalid he has chosen a religious house where he will be cared for. As for the ex wife, she's gone so why bother about her?

These comments provide a clue as to why so many LW commentators harbor so much anger. Puts the '1* cuck shit' guys in a slightly different light, although in truth they are responsible for both how other people make them feel and for their own resultant actions. Free therapy at other's expense...

Defecating on graves and flushing cremains down the toilet (seen yesterday on LW) is disrespectful of the human person, no matter what they may have done in life, and disrespects us all.

I married at 21, my bride was 20, we were our firsts. Our first child was born shortly after we both graduated from Uni. Building a career, growing our family, a starter house, took time and mutual effort. At about the 10th year our lives started to level off. Sure we had kids activities, neighbourhood get togethers, and a gradual diminishment of sexual activity. She was tired, had an early morning, or tolerated my needs to make me happy, (not with words but lack of participation). Gradually I asked less and less while she never initiated any more than a hug and occasional cuddle. Watching my nephew and his new bride try to devise an escape from a family get together had me thinking about slipping away with my wife. A few moments of reflection and it came to me it had been more than 6 months since my wife and I had been intimate. I asked her out on a date. Sent flowers. Suggested a weekend away. Her reaction was to ask me why. When I kept trying she became annoyed telling me she just wasn't interested and thought something must be wrong with me if I still wanted to do things like that.

We've been divorced for several years, I have a very close friend, my ex has never dated (man or woman). So yes there are people with no interest in sex, who are not gay, and are perfectly happy.

My sister in law's first marriage was to a gay guy that "had to pretend" to be straight to keep his job as a school teacher. This story has all of the same circumstances and neither the wife or husband could talk about the true nature of their marriage. So sad that society treats people so harshly and also so sad that people are so desperate that they would use marriage as cover.

Skanky old bitch. Giving up a life and family for new , old, dick. Just leaving husband and family without a word. She and Derek are just good church people though. Damn them both to the hottest part of hell.

I knew nothing about some of this till my mother passed away. My father had passed 4 years before she did. In a conversation with my sister she told me my nephew went out to my parents country place and caught my mother leaving the room of a man that was living with them. My mother and I were close. She always talked about what other woman her age did and called them sluts. She turned out to be just as bad. Found out my other sister would come home to find some guy she said was from her work at the house. All the doors were locked so my sister could not get into the house until my mother unlocked the screen door.

Yes I was pissed when I found out how she had treated my father. ww2 vet front line. Got back made a living that we had nothing to want for. Worked his ass off to get her a house and a getaway house with forty acres and a lake. I have lost all respect for the bitch and what she did to my father. My sister said he came crying to her that he offered her 10000 for a divorce. She told him she was worth more. I would of laid 50 cents on the counter and told all she was worth was a 2 bit whore. I have lost all respect for her and if she was alive I would off told her what a slut she was. My children now know she was a slut and we would of barred her from seeing her grandchildren. I have just lost my respect for most woman. My father stayed married to her for 62 years. Still today I wish he had shown her the door instead of being forgiving.

One more thing the guy living with her I found his grave. I pissed and shit on it. Left a message on his tombstone. To the piece of shit that fucked my mother I give you my shit in return. Hope you rot in hell
