My experience has shown me that by the time I'm 50, I will have to trade to a younger model. And not just for a fresh body, but simply because every 50 year old woman I see in a relationship makes the mans life . A constant barrage of selfish nagging (the beginning of senility usually), control and domination where the guy has to leave his balls outside if he's to come in.

I'd love some reassurance that this isn't global. My mum has turned into such a nightmare that I don't know how my dad puts up with it - I know it's hard for him. I wouldn't even blame him if he had an affair, in fact I think I might encourage it as long as she didn't find out.

I don't know what I'd do if I had a wife I loved who suffered this disease by the hands of time... would I feel like I had to stay in obligation to the woman I once married, or would I fly from the dinosaur that has been born...? I don't even like to think about it.

Ever the cynic aren't I?

*sighs*

Third line down: "Makes the mans life he11"

That censoring is so lame.

Oh for goodness sake are you suggesting in 4 years time I am going to be a Nag? Actually, 4 years and 10 months, what was I thinking.

I "hate" nagging women ahhhhh....

What's age got to do with it? Yeah, ok, Menapause, but is that nagging or rather, hormones going haywire and something that can then be put under control.

Do, you think that the "change of life" spells bordum? That, there is really not much of a life going on as the MAN, get's lazier and lazier haha, as he is a grumpy old man by then, and leaves more than the socks in the corner and toilet seats up and after 30 years of putting up with that alone, now watching him drink his beer, gut hanging out, TV chanel on what he wants to watch whilst she's picking up from him for the 50,000th time, she just screams ahhhh, he's getting old... he's getting lazier... nag, nag, damd men it's their fault, they were young and frisky once, haha.

Um, apart from us having to change internally due to no fault of our own and taking tablets to help us through that stage (god forbid when that arises), if she wasn't a nag before, me thinks she aint going to be one then.

Hormones aside, "ACROSS THE GLOBE" This Australian say NUP, marry and Australian.

Dont worry as we get older our hearing goes so it tends to offset the balance. Add selective hearing to that.... and well it turns into a slight buzzing noise like a misquito
turn the tv up a little and ......what noise?

Unfortunately I'm already a nag. ....off to post in the undatable thread.

I think women are more outspoken as they get older.
Also, hormones (menopause) can influence the emotional balance of a woman. Some take replacement hormones for estrogen loss etc. Some don't. Hope this helps.

Everyone is different. I think that, as people get older, and the relationship gets more seasoned, they get a little 'too' comfortable telling the other 'how it should be' sometimes. I think that happens with many couples but in degrees depending on the people. Sometimes it's the man telling the woman what to do. In other relationships, it's the woman telling the man. I try to tell my husband what to do but he tells me where to go 90% of the time, and I adjust. The other 10% of the time, he knows I am right and goes along quietly. We have a passionate relationship that is a sort of tug-o-war, but we enjoy the squabbling and like the make up time.
