Is this a mid or late life crises
All our lives, that is since some time during 1966 (we met at the end of 1965), when we started talking about a long term relationship – I stated my position – that is if we had a long term opportunity together as partners – then one part of the deal was that we should live in Denmark for several years, probably when our children were young so that we could all benefit for the language, culture and family experience. You see I was born in Denmark. And he said yes of course – not thinking of anything other than what one feels, but does not verbalise – that is passion, desire and anything to make this work.
Of course in those days we didn’t use terms like long term relationship, deal, starting position – nor did we really talk about the future.
But as it happens the long term relationship, the deal, the desire, the future all happened.
But we did not take our children to Denmark.
Now in our mid or late life time together we are taking ourselves to The Netherlands to follow the dream of long ago. It will not give us the Danish language, It will give us the opportunity however to see Denmark and to get to know my family there, and to get to know more of that culture along with the Dutch language and culture.
