[quote=Anonymous]I think it’s normal for men that age  to become infatuated with much younger women who either look up to them professionally or in this case it sounds like he helps her around the house since she lives alone.

It’s up to your husband to not cross the line, and he doesn’t have the relatively clear rules of an office setting.

I don’t think it would be inappropriate to check in with him about it in a non-accusatory way. Of course it might not change anything or he might lie, but try to be gentle in case it’s just a crush. That happens. It can be reinvigorating and he may have no intention of crossing the line. Even if he doesn’t want to have an affair, there can be a lot of angst involved. It would be easy for you to be pissed about the angst but try to be compassionate - everyone goes through stuff. It may be a lot more about aging and a lot less about you/your marriage.

Either way recognize that it’s hurtful for you to see him so excited about a diffferent woman and take some time for self care and connecting with friends. Step up activities you like. [/quote]
