Is my boyfriend too old for me
My family is pushing for a breakup
|
Summary: Obviously, it makes
sense for people to keep age in mind while dating but if
you love someone regardless of age, then there is no
reason to get hung up on the age. |

writes, "I am a young, healthy,
attractive woman in her thirties who is
dating
a man in his late fifties. I am
going through a divorce with my husband and this man
came into my life at a very vulnerable time. He says
that he loves me and
wants
to marry me. He says that I am the one he has been
searching for his entire life. He has been
married and divorced twice and has four grown
children. I have met his youngest daughter and she
adores me. However, my
parents are adamant about my
breaking up with him. Every time I talk to them
about this matter (they bring it up, not me), I end up
feeling so mentally exhausted that I have to either go
right to
bed or drink three or four cups of
coffee just to make it through the day. I love this
man and I care deeply for him. He is in
excellent
health and takes very good care of himself. Yet I am
getting mixed reviews. My family says there is no way
that this can work and I will only end up with a broken
heart and a nervous breakdown. Yet there are others who
don't see anything wrong with our relationship and tell
me that the most important thing is my happiness. Who's
right and who's wrong? I need some good sound advice.
Please help!"
Remember
that you know this man better than any one giving you
tips on him. I am all for respect for one's parents, but
in this case, they are simply biased by their dislike of
a
man who has been divorced twice and is almost
20 years
older than you.
Plus, you are no kid either; you also have the
experience of marriage and divorce.
In other words, do what feels right to you and
pursue this relationship and
get
married if you want. Is there a guarantee that a
relationship with a man
your age and never married/divorce
before will be perfect? No.
Is there a guarantee that a
relationship with this man will be perfect? Probably
yes, since you guys are in love and you feel that there
is a high
possibility of having a
good relationship.
Life is about taking risks and it is naive for people to
say that a
marriage to an older man has higher risks than
marrying a man your age. |
