At the end of the day we all get old and our looks fade and all we have left hopefully is someone at our side who we love. You reap what you sow.
Intelligent man. A woman who has relied solely upon her looks for her self esteem, etc., will reap havoc on anyone around her when she ages at the point where she is no longer identified by her "good" looks.
Been there, did that. It may not be entirely her fault. May have a lot to do with her upbringing.
This is why I tell my son's and young people: Try and look beyond. Get a good woman. Sure, being attractive is hard to overlook. Pretty women are ubiquitous, but solid, committed women are nearly unheard of. They don't rely on their looks to get them success and they don't shit on the people around them because they think they are "better"
Man, if I had it to do all over again. It's tough to say that when your kids are grown. You love your children and (hopefully) you don't regret them... but their mothers? Whew!
That's a rough topic.
At some point a woman is going to go through "the change" - one can only hope that she can face reality and not self destruct, taking everyone that was dear to her down that long lonely highway.
Hopefully, these two can resolve their issues soon. Even if there is a divorce, it doesn't mean that there is no hope. Peter's thoughts on an upcoming movie career and new girlfriend are clouding his judgement.
He too will be an old man one day. Gotta wise up. Smell the coffee.
Thank the Good Lord that he will let most of us men maintain a good physique and possibly even bless us in our latter years with decent looks, but he won't do it if you are abusing the gift. Sooner or later you also will be lonely and without peace.
"Looks" can only get you so far. Aging is inevitable. I just aged as I typed this response. No going back or re-gaining the time lost.
