☆ My wife and I are that couple who go out to dinner and sit in silence. Yes, we are still happy together.

We're at a restaurant and notice one or two couples eating in complete silence. It always seemed like their relationship was so awkward, and I felt sympathy for the silent couples. It is one of those things where it is probably more awkward for others than it actually is for us. I no longer see silence as an indicator of a troubled relationship; it's a sign of a successful one. And before long, our toddlers will become teens and then adults, and there will be no more silence at dinner for a long time.

☆ My wife and I have separate bathrooms, but I'm trying to convince her to get separate bedrooms, too. She refuses.

When we had our house built, my wife and I decided to have separate bathrooms, and it worked great. I'm now trying to convince her that there are also benefits to having separate bedrooms. AdvertisementBut for the last six months, I have been working on my wife of seven years to consider separate bedrooms, too. Before you start thinking I am too far outside the box on this one, separate bedrooms for married couples is, indeed, a growing trend. He says they spend a lot of time at home because of their work schedule, so having separate rooms was just what they needed.

☆ My parents were extremely strict growing up, but now they are laid-back grandparents. I'm learning to accept the new versions of them.

Any sign of affection just didn't happen when we were young children, and it didn't change as we grew older. My parents told me to get my foot unstuck through angry shouts. When my foot came out of the shoe, I promptly fell backward out of the tree and hit the ground with a groan. And even though I'm an extremely caring parent, I can see how my parents may have felt overwhelmed. AdvertisementPerhaps my parents are evolvingRather than overthink how unfortunate things happened as a child, I should congratulate my parents on evolving for the good.

☆ I'm an older dad, so I'll be a senior citizen when my 2 toddlers graduate from high school. I'm scared of running out of time.

My wife and I met in our late 30s, and we had our two children when we were older. Now that I'm an older father, I worry I'm losing time with my kids. I've come to realize I will be a senior citizen by the time my kids graduate from high school and enter college, so I'm not wasting any minute. AdvertisementBut it does seem for every advantage, there are two or three disadvantages that come with having kids later in life. I have enjoyed it so much that I work entirely from home now and spend almost every waking minute with Ellie and Jack.

☆ I loved to date women 15 years younger than me. People judged me for it, but I had more in common with younger women.

When I was in my late 30s, I started to date women 15 years younger than me. Even though people judged me, I found younger women more carefree and open to adventure. For starters, the younger women kept in better shape. Plus, a few of my close friends and their significant others seemed to have problems with me dating younger women. I eventually married a woman younger than meMy wife is eight years younger; she is a well-established doctor whom I met online.

☆ I was drowning in student-loan debt, so I bought a house and flipped it. I used the profit to pay off my loans.

Since I couldn't pay down my debt, I bought a house, flipped it, and then sold it. I used the money I made to pay off all of my student loans, and now I feel free. Between rent, utilities, car insurance, and student loans, I was breaking even every month. I wondered how I could pay back my student loans within a few years instead of decades, and I started brainstorming ways I could save money. I immediately paid off all of my student loansWith the money from the sale, I brought my student-loan debt down to zero.
