She maintains I could be in a pub spending hours away and spending heaps on booze etc so I guess she knows where I am and what I'm doing. When it comes to star parties etc she is happy for me to go and enjoy myself while she stays home with the dog. (New Kid)(Big sook).
She is not at all interested in astronomy but is keen for me to get the most out of what I do.
Does she truely love me or is it a matter of while outside I leave her alone? Don't know but it seems to work for us both.

It's age, Doug. Once people reach a certain age, they become comfortable with things, with the way their life is. They know their partners love them, even if they don't share that many interests. You wouldn't have gotten married if you didn't love them and by the time you get to the stage I mentioned, you know yourself everything is OK. It's only those people who are still in that "needy" stage of things that end up going through the rough stuff, wanting all the time and not being prepared to give a little in return. You can't stay under 40 (mentally or physically) all your lives. It's as the say, it's the quality not quantity that matters, and in any case you can't live in one another's pockets 24/7. That would drive you insane!!!.
