What is a “normal” life experience you feel like you missed out on?

Quite a few actually. I know somewhere early on in my life the gauntlet was thrown on the ground and the fault is no ones but mine. Maybe some bad luck or something along with it, but mainly the fault is no one else’s but mine. I am solely to blame for me missing out on what I can say are life experiences that one should expect in their lifetime. From the point of view of a guy ofcourse.

I missed out on a lot of things. Getting married and enjoying the life of a married man, with a woman who is my partner in life. Yes I have been in love, been intimate with a woman a few times, with 3 women in total but they are all gone long back. I haven’t been with a woman in a very long, long time – in over 20 years – and I am 48 years old now. I had hoped that I would be married by the time I was 30 and lived in a different house or an apartment with my wife.

And that we’d get a dog or two and maybe a couple of cats. And live the life of a married couple. Maybe have a couple of kids. I’d love to have a daughter and raise the girl and watch her grow from a cute little angel kid to a woman. I’d love to be able to do that! I missed out on all that. Instead I have the life that I have, such as it is.
