Happiness is getting old and crotchety with someone who knew you when you were young and optimistic

And being able to laugh at each others' ridiculous changing bodies and brains . . . saggy balls, saggy boobs, gelatinous thighs, forgetting words, all of it. Happiness is growing old together, bitching about the process every day, and knowing that somehow in your 20s you found your person in a world full of strangers.

Not sure I agree with this - been married 24 years (second marriage) and know enough to know that no matter how old we get, a discussion about “saggy boobs and gelatinous thighs “ will NEVER be a good idea… lol

That’s too bad. I shaved my husband’s back yesterday and we were joking the whole time. As we get older we have learned to crack jokes about everything!! He didn’t have back hair when I met him!! 😂😂😂😂

Some of you are leaning way to hard into aging. We are far too young to be getting crochety already.

My wife says that "at some point we transitioned to being each other's ride to the doctor as a vital function of our partnership."

True love is when one of you has the other look at your butthole to help determine if it's a hemorrhoid or a perianal abscess <3

Happiness is dying before you get old and crotchety.....because being old and crotchety is not fun.

Then be old but NOT crotchety. That's better than both.

Waking every morning to ask each other 'what hurts today?' That's love.

When every answer to "How are you?" is "Tired"
