Well well. Such things also happen.

Strange way our relationship evolved. After the age fo 45, I started being more and more in love. And wife went in the opposite direction - and finally wanted to live together as friends.

I found that absolutely intolerable. I am the type who wants to hold hands and watch sunset at 80. And so without any fights or acrimony, I moved out. Disappointed and sad. But not in love anymore, I can't be in love with someone who won't reciprocate.

To be clear, she knows I am a good husband and gentle and nice and loving and whatever. She just does not want one anymore. We went for therapy for years.

So two things -

Ask me about how unexpected things can happen in life, anytime!

Bring your aunties looking for a husband to me!

What am I: Highly independent, detached from social stuff and rituals and extended family, open and honest - people who dont like me know it instantly. Introverted. Persuadable. Therapist says I am westernised in my value systems. Liberal in outlook, restrained in personal life. Not macho, or a hero of any sort. Want a wife who will be more an emotional and intellectual (and physical) companion than a housekeeper. No bitter people. I am not bitter despite all this, and I can't stand bitter people at all.

I have flaired it Rant, though this is more like a Confession I guess.
