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.

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.

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

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?

18 years. Not married for that long tho!

You?

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.

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

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