You have penned your feelings very well. I can understand exactly how you feel!!

It must be difficult to have a partner who feels you cannot enjoy life and have fun.

Hopfully one day the music will be loud, and the dancing will bring a smile to your face like never before!!!! Although , when i turned 40 i was dancing in the living room and one of my daughters told me to stop before i broke a hip!! giggggles

Turning 40 doesn't mean you cannot enjoy the things you love to do my friend.
You've penned your feelings sincerely in this wonderful piece.
An enjoyable read.
