Yayy! I love that there are people writing about "older" people having sex lives (even though there's no actual sex in this fic)! One thing is, if you've lived long enough, you've probably observed in RL that a good many long term relationships that people get into in their late teens or twenties, have run their course by the time they're in their forties. People change. When you're twenty, you don't get that, really, even if you can understand it intellectually. I just had this realization the other day: The EWE issue? Not even nesessary to deal with, really, because the Harry generation of characters can have their marriages and kids, and then still, one day realize that the person the've been with for twenty odd years is all wrong for them. I see that happening a lot in RL, and in it happened that way my life too.
