Welcome to A Midlife Wife…

A Midlife Wife… a little blog I’m starting to talk myself through some of my thoughts. Why not give access to those thoughts to anyone on the internet.

The Story

I have been looking for, let’s say inspiration, across the internet for a situation I find myself in. I came across much more than I thought I ever would and it actually gave me some inspiration to share what I’m living.

In the beginning… Just kidding, but over 19 years ago my now husband and I started dating. After a decade of living like a married couple with out the marriage, kids and so on I kind of resigned myself to not living the life I truly wanted.

I’m what family and friends call ‘an old soul’, meaning I like old stuff, and older way of life. One that includes traditions like marriage and kids. However, my now husband didn’t really embrace parts of that because he had been married before that in his words ‘it was not great’. So we lived happily, like a married couple but without the marriage and after some time I found that I didn’t need marriage to be happy.

When it came to having children I was a yes and he was a no. Again, after over a decade I became comfortable with not having children, though the desire has always remained.

But then… 17 years into our relationship he proposed. I said yes but I also thought it was a joke, I man I have been with over a decade didn’t want to get married suddenly did. At 18 and a half years together at 39 years old we tied the knot and became husband and wife. (Hence the name Mid Life Wife)

Now, we’ve decided to try to have a baby. Talking about getting a late start to life.

So, let’s see where this goes.
