confusedinkansas Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 I have a friend (yes, really a friend - this isn't about me) I'm curious to get feedback from you all on "relationships when we get older". He is 52, dating a woman in her late 40's. SHE is separated....not divorced. He is divorced - 2yrs. He complains to me all the time that "She can't make her mind up if she's going to totally leave her husband" "She is torn between wanting to be happy & having the sense of family" "She keeps waffling about going back to her husband".............Now, I ask you....Is this normal for older folks that are "DATING"...to have this kind of drama in your life. My friend claims to me that he is not happy in this relationship. No matter how many times I ask him "WHY date her" his answer is always the same........He feels guilty because they started an affair while she was still with her husband & she left her husband for him - so he would feel awful if he left her? They don't live together - but they do live in the same apt complex & she can see his front door from her balcony. HELP....If this is what dating is about...drama & s**t...I don't want it - Is there hope for those of us after 40 in the dating world? Please tell me there are still NICE guys/women out there with MORALS & can be ECSTATICALLY happy with no drama, no mistrust, no anything...Just happiness?
flc Posted September 11, 2008 Posted September 11, 2008 Dating involves human beings, there is always drama involved, sometimes it is good drama and sometimes it is bad and I have found that age does not make a huge difference other than you can recognize it and laugh about it.
