Worst thing about Aging?

[Hurricane Sterling]

Not trolling , but would ya not prefer the benefits of being in a relationship with someone that you love and who loves you ?

No. Love the freedom of being single. Have been in long term relationships and been married once. Still love being with women but only on my terms and usually in small doses. Could never live with one again. When i did it actually wasnt too bad but i just love my own space and freedom to do things too much. Being in a marraige or LTR takes away too much of that for me. Each to their own like.

I could see Hurricane doing great with the ladies, and life in general, given how well-adjusted and popular he is on the INTERNET.

The Internet! AKA 11 people from a UCC class in 1998 who circle jerk on a small local forum for the last 15-20 years. THE INTERNET!!! SERIOUS BUSINESS.

Really? I find I'm going completely the opposite way. I can't be bothered my arse arguing about stuff anymore. People are gonna believe what they believe, and arguing will very rarely change a mind.

So other than something trivially important like football banter, I don't waste energy on arguing much anymore.

I'm also much easier pleased. Give me a good book or a game of football on the TV and I'm as happy as a pig in shit.

Yes, you are right.

My mam is 82 and im very close to her, sadly she is showing early signs of dementia, preparing ourselves for it to deteriorate as time goes by,

It's been said a few times, but losing loved ones is the absolute worst. Lost both of my parents in recent years and, as has been said, nothing can prepare you for it. If you still have one or both of your parents, go spend some time with them.

Harsh to say this but I'm being totally honest.
With the death of my mother came a release from pain for her, I was happy to see her go.

Yep, quite happy myself to listen and learn

I have just finished a project with a guy handing over the empire to the son who sat in every meeting rolling his eyes at ‘the aul fella’ and apologising for him afterwards. What he doesn’t realise is that there is a lifetime of experience and knowledge there that he stupidly believes he has no need for because he has it all worked out by 35. A more deranged, ignorant gobshite you could never encounter, and his father an absolute gent.

People who disrespect older folks grind my gears.
Sometimes its not just a matter of giving someone your time but also your attention and respect also.

Not harsh at all Fedy m8. It's awful to watch a loved one suffer, and the helplessness that there is so little we can do to help.

Agreed 100%.

I lost my dad when I was 23. I would still give anything to have one more cup of coffee with him. He never got to meet my husband or my kids, which breaks my heart.

That said, my mother is still hale and hearty at 84 and I get to spend a lot of time with her so I am blessed in that regard.
