So, as a hard willed man, with a fairly abrasive personality, I also credit myself with having a softer, more romantic side that rarely anyone gets to see, but the woman it's directed to.
I also have an affinity towards RomComs. I love to laugh, I love to see love, and I love the cheesy scenes in them.
One of my favorites of late is "Did You Hear About The Morgans?".
Not only does it ring true of Midlife Relationships, but the wedding vows scene was truly touching.
Here I give you, Paul's (Hugh Grant) vows from the film, that I liked enough to include in my blog:
--
I promise never to take you for granted,
or utter a word unkind,
Never allow my affections to be recanted or stop marveling at your behind.
To also marvel at your warmth, your wit, your refusal to condone animal slaughter.
Your wisdom, your laugh, your inability to boil water.
To be your best friend for the rest of my life,
and to thank the god you're not sure about,
for fooling you into being my wife.

He included the flaws she had, that makes her unique, along with her Agnostic beliefs that he obviously didn't care about. He...to be completely corny...loved her, for her.
The world could use more of that.
Look forward to a fresh batch of Fuhgettaboutit in the weeks to come.
Carpé díem!!!
