lawrocket 3 #4 March 29, 2006 I've known some that it freaked out. I've known others that appreciated being 40. Just let your man know that that you love him. If he's got grey hair, let him know that it won't last long, for it'll fall out, but you find a chrome dome sexy. Let him know that he'll soon learn that men are not immune to having saggy he-hooters, but that's okay because breasts are beautiful. Let him know that you understand that his hearing won't be as good, since all the hair that left his head migrated to his ears. Let him know that impotence won't be his fault, and there's now treatment available. THAT is how you show love. My wife is hotter than your wife.

loves2jump2 0 #5 March 29, 2006 When I turned 30 it freaked me out more so than it did my SO when he turned 30. My SO has 2 years to go before the big 40 and it doesn’t seem to phase him one bit. To him it’s just a number. As far as doing something for your SO has he suggested anything? My SO drops little hints as to what he would like or like to do for his b-day. Like for his 40th b-day he wants to go back to Greece for a few weeks. (Thankfully I have two years to plan that) This year he is going to Costa Rica with his friends for a month. (lucky bastard! But I love him!) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boinky 0 #6 March 29, 2006 My ex freaked out at turning 30. So I made a funny deal out of it. I hung streamers that said something awful about turning 30 and a sign with his name on every stop sign between our home and where he worked. Then at his job, we hung balloons, signs and more streamers. At 40, knowing he would freak out again, the girls at his job helped hang signs, balloons, etc. We found a "Grim Reaper" picture and hung it on his door. Also got him a cake with the joke about "Lordy, lordy, he just turned 40." He may have freaked out...but he kept quiet about it. When Mike turned 40, I hope that I kept him so occupied with cards, presents, etc., that he didn't have a CHANCE to freak out. Age is all a matter of the mind. If you don't mind, it doesn't matter....but it's damned hard to convince people of that. It's not in a number, it's in how you act and feel. I have many people tell me I don't look my age (I even had one guy recently who STILL swears I'm too young to be a grandmother). Most of that is because I refuse to let a "number" drag me down. I'd suggest you sort of hint around and see what his feelings are on it. If you do a big party and he's not feeling like it, he might be upset with you. He MAY just want to wallow in his misery alone.Nina Are we called "DAWGs" because we stick our noses up people's butts?

skymama 37 #7 March 29, 2006 It freaked my boyfriend out a little. What freaks him out more is that I'm 6 months older than he is but most people think I'm 5 or more years younger than he is. I don't have a problem with that though. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

2fat2fly 0 #9 March 29, 2006 I hit 40 in a few months and it doesn't bother me. 30 kicked me in the balls, though. It's different for different people. On my bad birthday I bought a harley and started dating a 21 year-old stripper. It helped me through the tough timesI am not the man. But the man knows my name...and he's worried Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Bobbi Turning 40 *severely* freaks a guy out to the point where you really won't want to be anywhere near him. It doesn't go away quickly. Being around him will be total years to come. Since I have already passed through that horrible time and am now quite well-adjusted and happy, I'd suggest dumping him and, uh, checkin' me out! (That line of BS probably won't work on you even a little bit, will it? Oh well, you can't blame a guy for trying!) Ok, the reality is that it's no big deal anyway but with you in his life, he has so much to be grateful for, that turning 40 will be quite insignificant.

Trust me, she has made it quite clear to me that her ass (and the rest of her, for that matter) is completely off limits. It's one of those painful realities of life that you just have to learn to live with. That's ok, Bobbi, I have one of the most grabbable asses of any skydiver in the universe and one day, you'll probably desperately want to grab it. When you do, I will merely laugh at you and say, 'Ooooooooooooooh sorry, my awesomely grabbable ass is reserved." Yeah, that'll show you!!!
