Twenty four years married and three years of rope, which is a ratio people find funny when we say it out loud. We came to it late and largely by accident, through a book one of us was reading for entirely different reasons, and it has been the most surprising thing to happen to us since the children were small.
We are fifty seven and fifty nine, outside the ring, and we have never been to anything. Not once. We do not know a single other person who does this, and everything we know we have worked out between ourselves in our own house.
That is the reason for the post. Not because anything is wrong. It works, we are entirely comfortable, and neither of us is anxious about any of it. We would simply like to know somebody we could occasionally ask a question of, without it becoming a whole undertaking with an evening attached.
What we are hoping for is another couple, preferably somewhere near our own age, who would come and have dinner and talk about ordinary things and, at some point in the evening, answer two or three questions. We have a great many questions and nobody at all to put them to.
We are aware that we may be considerably behind. It does not bother us in the slightest. We have been married twenty four years and we are thoroughly used to working things out slowly.
