I only regret lacking a good social network with my extended family. If my wife and I want to travel to a kid unfriendly location (a la Vegas), my local mother in-law is resentful if we ask her, my parents need to be flown in to watch the kids, and my father in-law is only seen on holidays.
As for faded looks, mine have faded much faster than my wife’s, and I’m secretly thrilled when I catch a wrinkle or gray hair on her. Success is when we both look like wrinkled old prunes and are still happy together.
