"The trouble is, eventually she starts to hear him repeat the stories over and over again. Coupled with him picking his nose and stuff she falls out of love with him. "

Your post is touching, Taffy.

Like you tell Fifi to do, you have to keep reinventing yourself to keep love awake.

I think that a difference in age brings difficulties of its own; a couple of the same age, after many years together, no longer need to talk because they are sharing the same type of experiences that getting older brings: They know what the other one is going through without talking. But when there is a generation in between, more creativity is required.

You have a lot of creativity, Taffy. I know you are using it well. And it keeps you young. I'm with you.
