It isn't to women either. My ex-husband is 16 years older than me and I was not a trophy or any of that. He wasn't only with me for sex. Good Grief.

She's comfortable. No bills, and she likes it that way. You'll have to say something along the lines of that you wanted to boost her up from where she was at before, but you aren't intending to be her sole support. I guess you'll have to define it. For instance maybe you don't mind if she doesn't pay bills, but clothes and other personal things are on her.

Gross, indeed.
The only consolation is that a lot of "young girls" are starfish so while they may look good, the sex isn't really that great due to inexperience.

Consolation for whom? Who needs consoling?

I have helped her with some things, some of which many may consider excessive. For example, her car was having some bad engine trouble so I bought her a new car, she didn't have much so I have bought her some clothes, jewelry, etc. I have also helped pay her tuition as she is trying to get a veterinary degree and since she had a crappy phone that was bad and constantly had problems, I bought her the new iPhone X. She always seemed appreciative of it all. But three weeks ago she got fired from her wal mart job, for not coming in and had used all her sick days.

She has said she has been looking but I haven't seen her go to any interviews or anything like that and she keeps telling me that she is still looking. Meanwhile she spends most of her time on her phone, talking with friends, watching youtube/Netflix etc.

She IS taking advantage of you!!Get rid of her..not because she's not working BUT because she REFUSES to look for a job AND she gets defensive when you bring it up.She doesn't seem like she even wants to work but to just lay around the house doing nothing much but mooching off of you because you are allowing it.
Get rid of her because this will get worse!!

True most would not but 44 year old males can be very sexy and very enticing.

He did mention she came from a very dysfunctional upbringing and this can set her apart from her peers and cause her to be attracted to an older male. Perhaps she subconsciously views him as a father figure that she never had and keeps that part separate from her romantic relationship with him...that is if it's even romantic and just not purely sexual in nature.

Since the OP won't give me the time of day with respect to answering my questions we can only speculate and to me that's a waste of time.

OP can you please answer my questions? I am not here to chew you up and spit you out for whatever answers you provide.
  1. Is she still attending classes?
  2. How does she treat you on a daily basis?
  3. Does she seem truly happy to see you when you come home?
  4. Does she want to engage with you as a romantic partner?
  5. Does she clean or help with the cooking or any house chores?
  6. Do you see patterns of behavior that indicate she's still affected by her dysfunctional upbringing?

All in all she's taking advantage of you and you're allowing it. Don't get butthurt, you're 44 and should know what's going on here. Maybe you need to work on your self control and ego along with your dignity. Seems that way to me.

Yeah, or perhaps she was not-so-subconsciously fishing for someone like the OP, on the internet.

I'd like to know if she was ever attending classes, or even enrolled in a vet program, anywhere.

He's not "allowing" it, as if she started it. He volunteered for it; he set the tone of the relationship, himself. Or so he tells us, anyway. Who knows; maybe she kicked the whole thing off by complaining strategically about her car, then her phone, being unreliable, or the car chronically needing repairs, or something. Maybe this is how she supports herself. She sure doesn't support herself by working at Wal-Mart. They don't even guarantee their cashiers full-time work. They cut back their hours with no notice, from time to time.

Yep, that figures. Your own biological daughters & son, who you SHOULD be spending your $$ on, had to work hard to get their cars & other things, but this lady stranger (whether you've known her for a short time or longer) who was "living in poverty, etc." as she says, literally gets a free ride from you. Duh, of course, your adult kids aren't liking this.

These old geysers do this kind of thing all the time. If it were up to me, all these young gals out there wouldn't be able to hunt down sugar daddies like you anymore & (gasp!) have to work hard like the rest of us.

As they say, "there's no fool like an old fool" & you're definitely one of them.

Agree 200%! He doesn't want to lose this "hot young thing". Once again as I already said in here, I wish men would all stop thinking that just because a woman's older, doesn't mean she's better.
