Marcie,
68, writes, "I have spoken to my
children about my
much younger boyfriend (25) and
although they find it "weird" they assure me that
ultimately it is my life. Agreed you cannot please
everyone, nor would I ever try to, but, in my case I
must make some kind of peace with my family over my
choices, and happily, it seems that we have achieved
that for now."
Regarding your family, I think some of the concern is, of
course, about you and your well being (being older and
wiser than me I don't need to tell you that). It is an
ugly world out there. Also, there maybe some concern
about the
legal issues over inheritance in case you were
to marry another man. Plus, it will be a little strange
for some of your family to
interact with your 25 year
old boyfriend (I know my wife does not look forward to
meeting with her father's wife who is just a few years
older than her). In the end, though, as long as you make
sure that they will get a share of the property that
they might be counting on, you should make your own
choices based on your
happiness.
