Losing the love of my life to a younger more adam brody looking guy
I'm afraid to fall apart or become fragile. And I also want my sex drive to stay where it's at and not fade away lol
Never getting back my soul mate... I miss him everyday very much... : /
Honestly, on of my biggest fears for growing up is that I will be infertile. I know what kind of issues that can cause in a marriage and I don't want to be the cause of those. It's selfish of me, but it is terrifying.
Not being able to remember the people I love.
My wife passing before me & my penis not working as it does now.
Not living life to it's fullest, my guy going for a younger sexier girl, not having anything in common after the kids leave the nest
I'm not afraid of it. I'm looking forward to the journey. My wife on the other hand is afraid of every aspect of getting older. She should answer this one. Lol
I'm afraid of having to live my life without my soulmate.
But I'm here lol

There's always a chance we could lose the fight. First it was hemophilia, then UC, smoking could kill you, or God could just take you. I'm always scared of losing you.

Growing apart. That is something that I don't want ever.
seeing you die
everyone has to die one day! Once you are able to realize this face you might be able to see the beauty of life.

everyone know that everyone have to die one day and i very well realize it too, and fear stems from here. Its for the over practical like you to not understand and condemn the emotions behind it that pierce the pain more and them numbs it. You take detached attachment to a different level that you kill the beauty of the relationships around you. You may find life beautiful for you but you realize that the beauty of emotional relationships are gone.

I am not sure the "emotional relationship" that I value the most is gone is because of my "attached detachment". You know there are far more complex reasons than that.

I'm looking forward to getting older because things will get better and, hopefully, I'll grow as a person. Bring on the grey hairs! I'll have earned them.
Missing out on things I wish I did and being a good father
Not being able to do the fun things in life with my wife. The thought of dying is hard too, we have so many things to enjoy together first.
