I think a better way for Arlo would have been rather than tear himself up tell Janis she’s always been beautiful. Followed with the “I’m the luckiest man in the world” comment.

If you value your body image that much, and that’s OK by me, then the trick is to involve yourself in some intense exercise regimen almost daily starting when you’re young. And carry on throughout your entire life.
If you don’t value your body image that much, then that’s OK too. Just make sure you don’t change your mind later.
My wife and I didn’t get married until we were 42. She feels like this on occasion, we are in our 60s now and not “spring chickens”. She loves it when I look her over and make eyes at her. I am a very happy man.
a) Mid-life crisis for Janis. b) Arlo, this happens to me all the time which is why I’m still single. (need laughing face here) But I hope nothing bad happens between the two. The stuff you see in the world today makes you wonder if anybody can stay married “forever” and if people are faithful anymore.
I’m surprised this recommendation hasn’t been made before, but here goes anyway. Arlo, don’t just sit there telling her she’s beautiful; show it to her, right now, ardently, ravishingly, confidently, lovingly, right there on the couch.

Is this the seed for the “Adonis and Janis” strip?
It seems I had a similar conversation with my first spouse. Who became my ex a couple of years later.

I’m 70 and my Lady is 67 and I swear she looks better now in the buff than when I met her. She tells me I’m blind…after making love…every time.

My Wife is always on the lookout for an upgrade in a husband. After 49 years you’d think She’d have found one by now.

Janis is so hot you could boil water on her butt. Mature women got curves and moves young ones don’t.

I know one who thinks so. She’s probably wrong. The one she has in mind doesn’t plan on leaving his wife.
