I am in my forties as well. Also F, single, childless. I find so much freedom, and love that I have the flexibility to do whatever. I often feel sorry for my married friends, some of them, if not all, I think are downright miserable. I do whatever, I have dabbled in photography, painting, climbing, mountaineering etc etc etc. I am now aiming to get a 6 pack by end of this year. Maybe Ill get there, may be not. I will enjoy the journey nonetheless. Read, Exercise, play with my camera, plan trips, go for walks, shop groceries for some older neighbors are somethings I do during the day ( I hate to cook). Pick up a hobby or two, anything, enjoy this time at home! We won’t get it back!

Order / find a bottle of champagne, order a pizza or a nice meal if you can, or even better, check into a hotel for the night and spoil yourself.
Similar age but happily married with kids. But, to keep sane I have learned to fix things around the house, decided to get back in shape with biking and other training, and decided to read a lot about a given topic until it is exhausted then jump to a new topic. I make my kids learn with me so they develop self sufficiency, but I am having a blast seeing that I can do things that I couldn’t a few short years ago.

I enjoy a pretty boring life, but just wanted to say Happy Birthday!!! 🎂 look for something to splurge on for yourself! Life is short, and you deserve it!!
I started smoking cigarettes at age 46 two months after COVID started. Frankly I really enjoy the taste of nicotine and find myself having a bit more stimulation and increased concentration. It’s not the healthiest thing to do but a nice, enjoyable simple pleasure.

I’m really intrigued by this too. I started smoking late 30s. I don’t care for the taste, but more going through the motions. Definitely an activity smoker though. Playing golf or if friends are smoking when they drink. Can you tell us what made you start?
I just turn my brain off and watch a random show on tv.

Happy Birthday (if even a bit late)! I hope you find a way to enjoy and celebrate! 🍾🎂🎉🎁
Approaching 40, married, two kids and I've realized that sacrificing for the firm is the worst tactic ever. So I act as a boss, to get my balance, and so far it's working, with clients and nervous partners.
Male here. In similar boat.
Virtual psychotherapy. For me, it’s 1 hour a week in which I truly reflect about everything—it energizes me and helped me start new personal pursuits.
