A Sorry State of Affairs, by Pat Edwards

Young love, and the prospect of a whole life together.

Does anyone, anywhere, actually know what that means? Wedding day, new home; then settling down to find out that it is all quite mundane. Get a dog, find a hobby, throw yourself into your work. Children all leave home; and worse, go to live miles away. The inevitable affair. Well, at least the sex is better and they understand me. Well, it was at first, and they did for a while. 

Ready meal, DVD, emails from the kids. Oh God: retirement. Kids announce engagements.

Does anyone, anywhere, actually know anything?
