[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Reading all the comments with interest. Apart from mismatched aging, I don't have concerns. We have a strong, open, supportive emotional connection, we find each other interesting to talk to, we laugh together, we have common interests, our kids are similar ages, we both want long-term companionship, etc. I don't want these thoughts about aging to corrupt an otherwise beautiful relationship, but on the other hand, I don't want to stay in this now and increase our commitment if it's foreseeably doomed. If we broke up, I'm sure I could "do" younger, but there's a lot of risk there --- no guarantee I would find all the other pieces with someone else and no guarantee that younger woman would age well at all.[/quote]

OP, now you're starting to sound ridiculous and I question why your first marriage failed.

Why would you describe any relationship as "foreseeably doomed?" That is an odd comment and one you should think about. Do you not believe that you and your partner actually play a role in the success or demise of a relationship? The outcome is not already written in stone somewhere, for you to discover. You create your outcome; perhaps you don't yet understand that?[/quote]
