I can empathize having lived with an AW in menopause and 2 teenage daughters all at once.
God almighty, I might have to direct the new man in my life to a support group consisting of Mike and Cyrano...
because that's the exact situation he's heading into here... Hell, I'm a woman and I don't much like it.
And Cyrano? I'm sorry, but I laughed out loud at your reaction. Infantile? Yes. Hilarious? Yes. I'm glad you're both drawing what seems to be wise conclusions from the incident. And I'm sure it wasn't funny at all from the inside.
