Nothing lasts forever. Even very happy couples die eventually, Minx. That thought isn't morbid in the right context.

Gag me with a fork.

(I stole that from hayward rip.)

I'm afraid I don't get it. What does that mean?

From interviews I have read and seen with couples that have been together 50 yrs plus one of the most common pieces of advice seems to be never say anything you can not take back.

It's good advice, but isn't that easier said that done?

I found tremendous power in apologizing sincerely. I used to be very rash in expressions, saying horrible things without thinking. But somehow when I later said I was sorry, people felt I meant it. I guess people (or men?) don't apologize enough.

I know. For life isn't an unreasonable hope though, is it?

Yes, but nothing that is worth it is easy. It takes practice. It's just taking the time to think before you speak.

It's great that you can apologize, and it's not just men, people in general can be bad at apologies. The problem with apologies is they only work so often. If someone apologises to me over and over for the same thing without showing any sign of working on altering the behaviour they need to apologise for, the apology loses all meaning.
