Not a unicorn, I found the same thing. Younger guy who pays for almost everything, emotionally intelligent, gorgeous, helpful. Tonight he came over for dinner then cleaned the kitchen while I put the kids to bed - which is far more than my xH ever did! I’ve dated a few younger men and many are like this. It’s fantastic, I got so tired of men my age, who mostly want traditional gender roles. |
So you have a f..k boy coming sometimes to your bed overnight. How surprising and refreshing it is ! Have you already done joint travel with kids? Who paid and how much ? Any plans from him to build a larger joint house with you ? Just make sure you don’t sell yours for that and he brings equal $ to table if you agree |
So defensive, lol! |
Sometimes he comes to my bed, sometimes I go to his bed (he has a very comfortable bed). Yes, we do joint travel, he pays for most of it. We’ve been looking at houses recently and if we decide to get married, we’ll probably buy one together (I rent a small place, so no need to worry about me selling). |
My friends describe him as hot. He is 6’2”. He earns $350k base. Has his own home. He is generous, emotionally intelligent, funny, kind, a good lover and a great partner and person. Am glad we met (organically not via apps). |
This. I just turned 48. I divorced ar 42. I have not been looking for a super serious relationship but if I was, it would be near impossible. I am attractive. I date much younger men when I date. I know it is temporary. I am not looking for a full-on boyfriend. The only man I dated my age turned out to be married and lying to me about being divorced. I am not interested in older men who want a mommy and a paycheck. There are no do-overs at this age. She needs to start understanding that and finding fulfillment apart from men. |
If this is my brother, watch out! Unless he has changed recently (I doubt it) he is not going to marry you. He will tell you what you want to hear, look at houses and rings, but he dates women for one to two years and when they really start pushing for him to settle down, he bails. |
So you paid for dinner and cooked it...lol. |
| She should plan to meet 200 men at that age, and thats after weeding through 1000 of online profile. Out of those 200, 2-3 may be relationship material and 1 may be “the one.” |
Sounds like he had bad parents. How did you turn out? |
| Two mid-40s women I know have met and married men 4-5 years younger than them. Men who are attractive, financially comfortable and kind. Both did not have children by choice so no issues with blending families. They are out there but not hanging out at bars or on apps. Met them while working. |
She is at that age where it's hard for women. She's too old for a man who wants marriage and kids, but too young for a man who wants a woman and not have kids. She needs to be looking about 10-20 years older or find a man only around 5-15 years older who is done having kids. |
Is this a long term relationship then, that he’s around your kids who are young enough to need to be put to bed? |
This is my ex. He discarded me and his family claiming I was a crazy drunk for another woman. Promised her vacation homes and vacations and a whole life. Merged my kids with hers - then discards that one as a “crazy drunk” and is on to a new one (16 years younger) who has a four year old. He’s now promising her the world while triangulating her against the last ex. It’s a rinse wash repeat cycle which I wouldn’t care about except he insists on trotting out his teens to each new person. They’ve lost all respect for their dad, which is sad. |
He helped cook Cooking and dishes are more than most husbands do! On nights I don’t have my kids he does most of the cooking, and cooks a few times a month for me and my kids as well.
SO much better than my xH, who would leave dishes piled up for over a week at a time. |
