I am 72 and have been married for 39 years.

Sorry if you're feeling confused, Lfranc. You know your age and marital status. What else can you tell us about yourself?

I wonder what you meant? I'm a wife, mother, daughter, friend. Perhaps if you expand and expound to your post?

I know exactly who I am- why do you think you don't LFranc?

Do you have children Lfranc? Grandchildren?

You've been married for 39 years. That's an achievement not everyone attains. smile

Quite a few grans here define themselves by kinship relations. Maybe younger women, and men, more often define themselves by their paid work. Maybe people don't talk about how in their heart of hearts they define themselves.
