[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Op here. To answer some questions: my kids are still at home. They are teenagers. And yes-I probably am a little jealous that they had and will have typical teenage/college lives. But even though I’m a little jealous for sure-it makes me happy that they will get that.

It’s interesting to me that many many responders seem to be so focused on what I said about sex. It was one thing I said yet it seems to be the most focused on. I never said that’s what I want to do now. I was simply saying that I am sad I never had the experiences that others have. Not really sure how that got interpreted the way that it clearly did-that it’s somehow what I want to go out and do now. [/quote]

Comparison is the thief of joy OP.  You mourn the life you now think you deserve without recognizing that there’s no way at all to know how it could have been if you didn’t take the path you’re currently on.  There are women your age who never found a partner, women who suffer from infidelity, women in relationships with abusers, women dealing with chronic illnesses.  Flip the script and be thankful for what you have.

From the outside it seems like you are having a midlife crisis and have either met someone you’re interested in or thinking of heading down that road.  You’re starting to justify your feelings by re-writing your history.  You mention awesome new friends in your first post.  I’d bet one of those awesome new friends is a single man who is paying attention to you and complimenting you.  I recognize your behavior because I was you about eight years ago.  [/quote]

Agree with PP. the grass is not greener but we can’t tell you this you’ll have to experience it all on your own the hard way.[/quote]
