I realize some think this is amusing, but trust me, you never get to old to enjoy having someone that cares for you and thinks that you are special. Especially when you are recovering from being married to a man you thought was your soul mate, only to find out he had a love affair with another woman for most of our thirty-five year marriage.

So why are you hesitating?

Is this even real? Or a resurrection of a current or past poster?

If you can't trust your gut at 75 how do you think a message board on them there internets is going to help?

OP, a 7.5 year age difference is NOTHING unless you're a teenager. Good grief, if you like the man, have some fun ...

Not a big difference between 75 and 67 to me, as far as life experience goes.

75 and using message boards properly? Kudos to you lol

At some point he's going to find out your age, so I don't think you should try to keep it a secret any longer. I don't think you need to bring it up right now either, but the next time he brings up ages, years, etc., just be open with him. I'm 68, so I can relate. If I was looking for a partner, I'd prefer someone a little younger (my wife is 58), but if I became attracted to a woman who just happened to be older, I don't think 7 years would bother me. I'd be more interested in your health, fitness, personality, appearance and a dozen other things more than the actual year in which you were born.

As to your question, just be honest with him. If you're not ready for anything other than friendship, then make it clear to him.


Don't mind us, we can get a little... vocal.

But I'm glad you are here.

I know a couple who married when she was 60 and he was 50. She's 76 now, he's 66 and they're still very happy together.

Is that a bad thing? Didn't know there was an age limit here. I'm 71 so should I just disappear??
