Being with a younger man.
How do you feel about it?
I am 44 and met a very nice and handsome 28 year old man. He is mechanic and works at a dealership fixing vehicles.
For a little background I divorced a man a little over a year ago that was never physically abusive but emotionally and mentally was. I have a 19 year old daughter that has left for college.
Now, I don't consider myself a "cougar" and until I met him never really thought about dating a younger man, but when I am with him it is always a blast!
I had been on several dates with men my age previously but many were either too stuck in their ways or not as active as I would have liked.
I know I'm not the youngest gal around, and I don't try to pretend I am, but I still love getting out there, traveling, doing fun unique things, and that is what I do with him. Just a while back we went camping and canoeing and it was SO much fun!
He has always been very kind and respectful, and not once have I ever felt like I was his "mom". He even helped me do some work on my house and does little things like takes out the trash and helps with the dishes etc.; more than my husband ever did.
We have been seeing each other for 6 months now.
What do you think? Could this work, or am I just looking at this with rose-tinted glasses? We really don't argue or fight much, sometimes our age difference does cause a few issues or misunderstandings but it's never been bad and he's always been patient and understanding. Hell, he even went with me when I went to get my mammogram haha.
He even brought up the talk about kids, saying he doesn't care and he's just happy to be with a good woman. I realize that certainly there is a worry about him leaving for a younger woman, but, it's not as if guys my age don't either.
He has never pressured me into doing anything I don't feel comfortable doing and that means sooo much.
