My husband and I met / started dating as teens (college freshmen) and married a decade later. He’d had a prior girlfriend I had a prior fling plus a few people I’d casually dated but very little experience. There are times I think it might have been fun to date more, but I’m glad he’s in my life. I think of it kind of like ice cream. If I had to only have my favorite flavor forever and then later learned about another flavor I might be curious, but that doesn’t mean I stop liking the flavor I chose.

not true, holywood just gets those stories from real life, real life is like that for many people, their relationship fails and the rest follows, not everyone finds love but settle for so-and-so marriage

I don't like drama. I don't want up and downs and stress and uncertainty.
I had an extremely happy childhood and very loving parents.
Monogamy to me doesn't equal boring. My husband and I have had some very wild times in our lives. We were always the 'party couple'. We left jobs and traveled/partied abroad pre-kids. We dabbled in things.
We have a great time with our kids. They are stable, happy, thriving teens and we have a lot of fun as a family.
wow, exactly my story too, just met him at 25, engaged after one year, married after another year and had kid 7 years into our relationship, we’re celebrating the silver wedding this year, still have great chemistry but we had some tough years when kid was young, without intimacy for months at times, had some huge fights couple of times because of it, but after couple of days apart was clear we cannot live without each other … now that kid went to college, we’re like teenagers again, holding each other throughout the night, just want us to be healthy and live for another 25 years

Hook ups and dating at age 51 sound miserable to me.
Why did you get divorced? Get caught cheating?
As a woman, that would be the last thing I would want. Rando hookups in late middle age, at 51??? Ewww.
I think it sounds great. Don't have to worry about unwanted pregnancy and you can be way pickier about the guys.
Excess baggage at that age. You get the cheated and the angry abusers and the addicts. The ones tossed out in their first marriage. Not much to be picky about. Abs the ones that have anything going for them are dating younger
