AIBU?
So what is there left to do "for the first time" ever in life now?

You know those big life-changing events.
For me I can't think of anything else, which is probably a bit sad I suppose
done the marriage, and divorce
done the job and career
done the home
done the child (and again, and again and again)
done the travel, illness
what about you - what haven't you done yet?

it is not sad to think that you have achieved everything that you wanted to do (as well as some things that you didn't
)
There is one thing that i'd realy like to do, and because I want it, i'm too afriad to try...
but in terms of my life, I'm happy that I have things to measure it by, the marriage and children (the job not so much, but I haven't got a better plan for that yet)

Hobby? Or skills you want to learn? Go to the beach and learn to surf or something. Aspire to goat ownership, or fluency in Farsi.
And I refuse to believe anyone has 'done' travel!
It's nice to be settled and content, but there's always something else to spike your interest even if it's not immediately apparent

No chance of Tom and Barbara here. DP won't even let me keep chickens because of the foxes. He keeps taunting me with pictures of cute piglets too, but I bet they honk and the reality isn't quite so sweet. Couldn't even manage to keep up an allotment.
I doubt I'll ever have a daughter now - that would have been a brilliant first time ever.
Bit previous as my boys are still in juniors but I can't wait to be a grandmother as our boys don't really have an active grandparent, and I think they miss out a bit because of that.
Running a marathon - on the cards for next year if I get accepted.
Loads of travel I've not yet done and long to do, even though I travelled a lot in my 20s.
Earning a fortune.
Seeing sons grow up and leave home.
Having a tidy home would be an amazing first.
Are you bored Activate? Are you wanting a new adventure?
