Things I'm sad I'll never do again

[Sunny54321]

Ride a horse - too old and too many dodgy bits to risk a fall and nervous riders more likely to come off.

I'm sure there are loads of others but this is mine today.

Anyone else have one?

This could also be used for the hot sex too😁

Poop from my bum hole and pumping as I have a stoma now sorry but I miss it and find myself watching the dog pooping thinking how satisfying it must feel

I am in my early 70's and have two dodgy knees and an awful back. I didn't even get on a horse till my 40's and rode till i was almost 60. The back is due to my work in the NHS before hoists and handling equipment was freely available and my crappy knees got crappy when i walked into a bog hip deep when walking my dogs and twisted both knees getting myself out. Maybe the folk who have stopped riding have similar issues to myself?

I’m also sad I won’t get married again. I loved the dress, the aisle, the love. Everything. I’m still happily married but will never have that day again. Lovely memories.

Have another baby 🥺

I have nightmares that im stuck taking care of two rather than enjoying my life with my one, so I'm definitely sure I'm one and done

But to just hold my newborn in my arms 🥺

To eat what I want without worrying about

• high cholesterol
• heartburn
• putting on weight

Looking great and attractive and just smiling at the world. Having hope for a wonderful future (I'm thinking 20s, where I hoped for a happy marriage, home, kids, career).

I have accepted my 'lot' in life and I work hard and am grateful for what I have, I'm sad I dont have the hope and optimism of my early 20s though.

Have another baby-only had one through ivf
Breastfeed
Dance all night to old school house, off my head
Flirt
Kiss another man for the first time
Be slim & young

Bit of a depressing thread tbh!

Be very drunk, in a club, dancing at 2am and looking fabulous (well, at the start of the night anyway). I am just too tired for that now! I do still love going to gigs but it’s not the same.

(I do go horse riding with lots of older people, most of who have variously broken bodies including hip replacements)

And I do understand why people can’t ride - I have a sore back and ankle from riding this weekend just do an hour, and I do it every weekend! It does motivate me to go to the gym and stay strong as I get older.

I miss breastfeeding too. My boobs ache for it sometimes even though I stopped ages ago.

My youngest is 3 and I'm so, so aware that I'm in the very last of my 'baby days'. I'm going to miss it so much when it's gone.

Hear my husband's voice or see his smile.

But wasn't it fucking amazing at the time...

Great sex. Being a size 10 and having energy and lovely clothes.

I loved being pregnant, giving birth and breast feeding so much I’ve always felt a pang I’ll never do them again. It’s the only time in my life that I felt I was brilliant at something.

Hold my newborn.
Run a marathon.
Snog and have sex with a new man.

Ski
Have sex with a man who knew what he was doing
Ice skate

Experience intense sexual/ physical attraction and ‘fall in love’
Nurture my own baby.
Live free of chronic illness and fear off sudden deterioration.
The future stretching out do far it seems infinite.
Strangely like many others here, ride a horse, at least ride properly/ with confidence.

Hmm, do we need a thread of things we are just discovering at middle age?

I went skiing for the first time at 46 this year and I LOVED it, and am planning a trip to Ibiza with my girlfriends for this summer

Love the username. Also a big Gene Hunt appreciater. ❤️

Riding…I cannot afford it and I can’t risk coming off being a single mum to young DC.

I considered looking for a plod to share but I think I’d get bored. I’d also struggle for time.

Have another baby (or at least a first baby), get married for the first time…all the things I don’t regret but with I hadn’t done with XH!

Feeling sexy/lustful is another one…and being sexually attracted to anyone.

XH has killed that part of me

Live with a bunch of friends with no responsibilities beyond ourselves and dragging ourselves to the tube still drunk at 8am. As long as you made it to work life was grand.

A few years ago I would have said fall in love but since the menopause I find the process of falling in love a bit ridiculous (despite being very happily married!)

And I’ll never be the harassed Mum of a gang of small children again.
