Young women dating mature men
How to deal with such relationships?

By Jade Feng

We have been discussing the practice of young women dating mature men.  In the first part we heard the story of a young woman who is dating a mature man and then advised her with a series of questions that she needs to ask.

These questions should be answered with a 'no': 

• Has he asked you to wash his clothes, cook, or perform any other domestic chores for him a little too early in the relationship?

• Does he negatively compare your cooking or other skills to his mother's?

• If he is over 25 years in age?  Does he still live with his mother?

• Does he discredit you or belittle you in the presence of others?

• Has he ever asked to borrow money from you?

• Does he look down on your religion?

• If he has children, is he overly eager that you nurture them too early in the relationship?

• Has he ever hit you or physically abused you in any way?

• Has he ever suggested an "open" or non-monogamous relationship?

• Does he have, or appear to have a drinking problem or other unresolved addictions?

• Has he ever asked you or implicitly prompted you to do anything which you considered to be illegal, immoral or unethical?

Generally, my advice is to never get married until you are at least 25 years old, but if you are certain you have found your soul-mate, then I wish you the best of luck and happiness.  Kenny Rogers married Wanda when she was 26 and he was 54.  They have a happy relationship.
