That's based largely on reasons of comfort and not on what other people think.  beam11 Joined: 3/12/2006 Msg: 11 (view)   Older men dating younger women --- does it work?? Posted: 5/13/2006 1:08:30 PM There's a large age difference between my husband and I (12 + years of marriage), and we enjoyed one anothers company more than anyone we'd ever met and had far more in commom, in addition. But then again, I tend to be one of those youngerish "olderish" type of women. drinking and dancing? no thanks, unless it's in the privacy of our own family room.... etc. i guess lots of people would find that boring at my age.  beam11 Joined: 3/12/2006 Msg: 9 (view)   How Do or Would You Feel About Your Children Having Sex? Posted: 4/5/2006 11:51:38 PM This reminds me of when my mother bought us a box of condoms when I was 15 and my brother was 17. She explained that if and when we were ready to have sex (though not an encouragement), the box of condoms would be in the bathroom cabinet, and that she will NEVER EVER count them.... Yeah right!!! I don't think either one of us ever went anywhere near that cabinet again!  beam11 Joined: 3/12/2006 Msg: 2 (view)   Widow/ers: Greatest fears about new relationships? Posted: 4/5/2006 11:27:33 PM Glfn, Thanks for starting this thread. I think I might have hijacked the other one quite unintentionally. While certainly, I have many fears about dating again, with regard to your later sentiments, I do think about that as well. It's not the care giving, in particular, because I too would do that for someone I loved in a heartbeat. However, age IS a factor to me now, whereas 10 years ago, I thought about age rather nonchalantly. I hope that my children (now fatherless) will not someday hold that against me. My husband was quite a bit older than I am, and I loved him unconditionally. Love has no boundaries, as they say. Yet I do not want to ever put a spouse into the grave again. And more important, I do not want to have to tell my children that their father (figure) is dead -- by far, that is the hardest thing that I've ever had to do in this lifetime -- I cannot imagine hearing such a thing at the age of seven and ten. Though true, any of us could die at any second. It happens. But the odds are that the older you are the more likely it will happen. If and when I do date again, I'm sorry to say that age would and will most certainly play a factor in my decisions (as much as I hate to admit this).  beam11 Joined: 3/12/2006 Msg: 24 (view)   Someone my age wanting to have children Posted: 3/18/2006 11:43:51 PM My husband had kids both when he was young (in his 20's during a previous marriage) and at an older age (at 48 with me), and from what he's told me, he enjoyed his children at an older age immensely. It's not that he loved them more than his older children, but rather he was more mature, had more of an appreciation for them, and didn't have to worry as much about being able to take care of them (better off in life). the only problem with this is that now our children, at 13 and 10, are fatherless and I am a widow. Of course, our case could be an exception, it's not unreasonable to think that people could live to be 80/90 in these days... but it's certainly something to consider. Because if you love them... well, from personal experience, I'll tell you that it hurts like sh *t.  beam11 Joined: 3/12/2006 Msg: 4 (view)   Man over 40…still attractive to younger women or not ?
