Heh….I’m 55 this year and was always very protective/proactive in my marriage as well.
Infact, I’d go so far as to say that I was THE mama bear and, infact, told my ex on more than one occasion that I was more woman than he could handle and more man than he’d ever be. lol
We divorced some years ago because bohemian, creative, super bright women do not do well with controlling, OCD, corporate schmoozers. haha
Today he is a schmoozing, golfing, corporate loafer and I am managing a ranch in the Sierra Nevada foothills.
What have I done today?
Got all girly for a shopping trip, cleaned stalls, hauled hay, went on a round up with the neighbors when 9 of the neighboring steers broke into the pasture over here, carried and broke down bales of pine shavings for the horses stalls, and just made a killer shrimp stir fry and am now having wine in my skimpy nitey.
Yep, I’d say I’m a woman to be reckoned with. lol
