To be a bit miffed at this phone conversation I overheard DP having?

[crispyporkbelly]

Wasn't eavesdropping btw, was in next room.

'That's what I miss, mate, the chase, getting dressed up...trying your chances, seeing what's out there...ah I envy you, I envy you'

His friend must have then said, well actually you're lucky because he said 'Yeah you're right, yeah true'

AIBU to be a bit and about this? Given that he has a great life, a beautiful ds, cooked for everyday, clean house etc? Wtf is he complaining about. Feel like clouting him around the head.

[Goblinchild]

Good that they felt comfortable with him as well.
OH use to tutor at Oxford as well, surrounded by beauty, wealth and brains on a regular basis. He didn't notice much either.

[DreamingofSummer]

Betsy Thanks for clearing that up, I was imagining all sorts

[Goblinchild]

Of course you were, Dreaming. That's probably why our partners wound up with Betsy and me instead of other more....sensitive women.

How long have you been with him, Betsy?

[MissBetseyTrotwood]

18 years. Not married for that long tho!

You?

[Goblinchild]

You just sounded like someone in a comfortable, respectful and trusting relationship that had lasted a good while.
Me?
Sharing a bed with him since...um...1983.
Even if I remove my socks, I haven't got enough digits.

[MissBetseyTrotwood]

Aww that's lovely. Love that Mr Goblin's a not noticer too!

[Allofaflumble]

Just a thought, but this could be someone reminiscing about being in the territorial army or going hunting!
