She seems... nice.

Writing for The Times, Molly Gunn — who also blogs for Selfish Mother — raises concerns that if she met her husband today that she wouldn’t be attracted to him, despite being together for over 20 years.

“I look at this grown-up 45-year-old man, with this furrowed brow, a habit of talking with food in his mouth, an unfortunate green-gold gilet, and a cap (grimace) that hides his now coarse salt-and-pepper hair, and I think: who are you?” she said.

The blogger says that the couple would sometimes talk about ‘what-could-have-been’.

“Sometimes we talk about divorce,” she says.

“Sometimes we talk about what else is ’out there.’

Sometimes we just get on and have a great time. Sometimes, I wish we could be how we were before life weathered us.”

I hope the husband gets out of this mess. This woman is an insufferable embarrassment. She's received a lot of pushback on her piece, and then followed up with an additional article complaining she was now being body shamed for no longer looking like she did when she was young.

Wow people age! What a shocker! 

 

"I wish we could be how we were before life weathered us."

 

Pointless way of thinking and better to think of "weathering together" as a good thing, rather than bad.

At least Leo knew this and acted accordingly.
