That’s what I was thinking. Also a sparkly holiday outfit is perfectly fine if others are in jeans and a sweater IF it’s the holidays so I wouldn’t say that was even an example of being overdressed. OPs husband clearly isn’t big on/doesn’t care about dress codes which is honestly fine, but if she does she needs to take it upon herself to find out.
I think the truth is in between. Ageism is real and it impacts people in a number of ways. In the workplace as well as in the media and entertainment middle aged and older women are often less respected or absent. However, they are much more visible in the media than they used to be, one of the pluses of the aging Boomer generation actually. In your actual life, though, you may not experience any of that. Many people have successful, happy relationships and are well regarded in their own circles. I suspect that if you are in a job with a great deal of emphasis on being in vogue, young, or beautiful, your age will be a disadvantage. If you are not, you may not be bothered by it at all.

He literally took advantage of his position as a mentor with influence over you and chose you as a mate when you were a minor?
Gee, I wonder why he has these views.
This. 100%.
Very true
If the shoe fits lace it up and wear it Cinderella.

She already told you why. Get a grip on your insecurities or you’ll risk it all with her.
I told him leaving me at the pub was off limits. He apologised and said he felt I was flirting in front of him.
