Your own Shirley Valentine ending...

[CarStress2024]

He walks straight past her. Then realises the beautiful, relaxed woman in the sunglasses is his (in my opinion absolutely fucking amazing) wife.

Then...

He is totally inspired by her. They fall in love all over again. He sells his business, they stay in Greece and spend their retirement skinny dipping and drinking sangria. He always loved her. He just stopped being a "boring bastard" and was forever apologetic for the dippy egg thing.

Go Shirley. You rock - no pun intended

Guess I'll just talk to the wall

She sees him as the pathetic wimp he is and sends him packing! Malandra and her son (the poet!) move back in with Joe and Shirley goes home once a year at christmas to take them presents and flies back out again on Boxing day after shopping for new bikinis in John Lewis Sale!!

Seeing as she's only 42 and far from retiring, id like to think she retrains and has an amazing career in something or other. Haven't figured that bit out.
She gets a second chance at love too.

He's not a pathetic wimp, he just forgot how to have fun for a bit.

Joe, being his usual bullish self tells Shirley to pack her bags and come home.
Shirley says no, she wants a divorce.
She divorces Joe, stays in Greece, opens her own hotel and has another 40+ years of fun.

Her boring, controlling husband goes home and the spoilt daughter moves back home with him. After two days living with dad she realises that her mother was right, and is a strong, amazing woman.

Shirley's son flies out to Greece for a holidays. Loves it so much he decides to live there too and settles down with a good looking Greek boy. Shirley quickly become fluent in Greek and realises she can do anything she puts her mind to. She teaches herself IT skills and sets up several businesses which are very successful. She buys herself a beautiful house with a pool and stunning views of the ocean. She has lots of exciting love affairs and eventually meets a man who appreciates how lucky he is to have found this wonderful, funny woman. Shirley enjoys her freedom too much to marry him and live with him full time though he is hoping that one day she will change her mind.
