Nuts or Just Crazy

Dear Friends:

Being 58 and feeling like by biological clock is ticking faster than ever, I am faced with a dilemma. For the last two years I have being living with a very nice 53 year old lady. We get along very well. She has had a very difficult life. She reminds me very much of a Mother Teresa type lady. At the moment I am living in a financial limbo, until a legal matter gets settled later this year.

I must admit I have serious desires to spend the rest of my life with a younger woman(35-45). Not sure if I am needing some meds or what. Your advice would be welcomed. Thanks

Hello dognut88....My advice is this....AGE IS A STUPID NUMBER....
If you are fortunate enough to find someone you enjoy, someone who brings you joy,smiles and comfort....Step up and take control- Make her your trusted friend,lover and companion. Life is so short...Age a silly number.....Heck...At 43- I am over the hill to my kids-But feel better then I ever did as a YOUNG babe. I feel as tho i am aging into my PRIME....I feel the power of my true self emerge as I age...And to tell ya the truth......We all know 25 yr olds that look way beyond the years they own....And some of the hottest,most inspiring women in todays media and world are in thier 50's and beyond....LOOK at the whole person....Find someone who engages your being...HER AGE....Sorry...that is silly....LOL....I can see it now......While introducing her....Hey guys......This is Susie, She is 38 !!! WOW....

Hey- Search your heart to find the real reasons you feel the desire to spend the balance of your life with a NUMBER.....

PS.....Mother Teresa may have some huge dreams and desires herself.....You could be too old.......TALK TO HER.....Listen- really listen and base your decision on her heart and soul......Is she/will she be there for you ?? LIFE IS SHORT......Enjoy......

Dog....at 58 I needed nothing...At 67 I take any thing you have....My Want To Ain't what it once was and I miss it, but Testrostrone Trans Dermal Gel sure help with the libedo ( now don't think it make my woman look and act 18 cause it don't.. ) and also with some aches and pains...I recomend it for anyone over 50....

Just keep up your PSA exams....Not much more to worry about under a well trained physician....

I understand your desires, and I'd say "a bird in hand that treats you well is worth a thousand birds in the bush".

Even though life is lonely without a companion the only reason to be with someone is if you are in love with each other and being togher is good for both of you...

We are getting older and tbere is a real concern to make sure that your relationships are not just based on immediate gratification. If that person loves you she will be there for the long haul when it matters the most. You should feel the same about her.

If you don't love this lady after two years, who has already had a difficult life...then let her go to have a happy one with someone who will give her that love that she has done without all these years. She is running out of time.

If you are attracted to younger women then make sure that you have what is most important in a relationship with one. Can you fullfill her needs and keep up with her when she still has energy that is waning in your older age? Will she get tired of nursing you and leave you for a younger man?

There are a lot of youthful women your age if you are basing your need for a younger woman on appearance. My mother is 71 and looks forty. No kidding. I don't look my age either. Genetics are that way. Some people age faster than others.

So don't base your desire for a younger woman on looks. If you feel younger and don't relate to people your age that would be a great reason for dating someone younger.

Be careful what you wish for. Make sure that you aren't just bored. Maybe the fact that this woman has stayed with you when she's suffered so much in the past and you are having problems financially says a lot about her character and when you will need her the most, she will still be there. Maybe she genuninely loves you.

Do you have so much love that you can afford to throw it away? It is possible to fall in love with someone who loves you if you give them a chance to get close to your heart.

If you do choose to stay with her there are things you can do to spice up the relationship. By now at 58 I bet you could think of a few things to make life more exciting for BOTH of you.

But whatever you decide...do it with all your heart, do it unselfishly, for both of you. Because in the end...life is what you make of it, and who you share it with. Your own happiness is yours to choose. Choose wisely.

Thats my two cents from the feminine perspective...Hope it helps. We all deserve to find what makes us the happiest and in the end, love is the only thing that makes any sense or has any real roots in our lives.
