[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here thanks to everyone who responded.
Yes the age thing bothers me  a bit, a 50 year old man that's never married and has quite the rep with the ladies concerns me.

I don't know him only what little she has told me of him, so I admit I could be judging him unfairly.

I would be far less concerned if I knew my sister was in a stable place.

Though pps are right that I should tread lightly with my opinions of the relationship. I had a couple people not approve of DH and though I still speak with them I think a little less of them because of  their words.
I don't want to control her life. Though I do wish things could be easier.
Unless you have lived with someone like my sister/
Saying she wants to think about it is pretty much a yes from her.
Lately her thing has been everything would be perfect if I just  married and had a child.
When she is manic she tends to romanticize  everything, everything would be perfect if she were living here, working there on and on it goes, and it always  ends with her crying  for days   and angry and depressed for months at a time.

If it makes you feel better, I am a PP that married a man much older than myself and was a terrible place when we met. My family told me to not to see him because of the age difference and to get myself in a better place first, etc. as I was just coming out of a horrible relationship, suicidal etc. I didn't listen to them and am glad I didn't because my now DH turned my life around. Best thing that ever happened to me. Older men can bring stability to a relationship that younger men often times can't. I'm sure my story isn't the case for all but hopefully it will be for your sister as well. [/quote]
