I've been dating a much younger man
Submitted on Sunday, July 27, 2008
By Carrie, 40, from Pennsylvania:
I've been dating a much younger man for over a year. We've come to a point where true commitment ie-marriage has become considered. I would like to be married-to someone who absolutely loves me, yet he's saying that his parents may be dissapointed in him if we were to marry. I broke it off with him only to have him calling and coming back saying "I'm confused". I am willing to let this relationship go, it'd be less painful. Am I right?
VictorM's advice:
It happens, but the odds that "a much younger man" will want to marry you are very slim. If it was the other way around, no problem. You can curse the double standard all you want, but things are as they are.
If you cater to his "confusion" you'll just be wasting your time. And the more time this takes, the older you get.
