Mr. and Mrs. ( or Mr.and Mr. or Ms. andMs. )

I’msleeping with the grandmother of my grandchildren. I really must remember to ask her how she feels about sleeping with a grandfather:D

Me too:D

I’ve just asked her and she denies even knowing you

I’m sleeping with a Grandmother!!!

Me too:D

You know Claire? :D:D

that depends, i know A claire lol

I don’t know. My other half is 12.5 years older than me…
Nowt wrong with the older woman.

I’m sleeping with a Grandmother!!!

I think I’m a combination of the two. I know when to be grown up and I know when it’s acceptable to act like a child. I have the advantage of not having forgatten how to do the latter.

Some people were born old and some never grow up.It’s tough if you’re one of each type.

I agree with your first paragraph and paragraph two sounds far too familiar for comfort. As for mucking about like kids occasionally, there is nothing wrong with that. I find it very therapeutic to act my shoe size rather than my age once in a while, unfortunately the other half cannot or will not let herself go like that.

Typical stubborn woman eh? I don’t like to walk away from a problem if there is a chance, however remote, that I can find a solution.

Well I guess that there are different ways of looking at things, but personally, I’d rather regret things that I did as opposed to regretting the things I didn’t do.

My situation. Well two failed relationships. First one, we met young and had two children young…possibly too young, she wanted to part and I didn’t, but it takes two to make it work so we went our separate ways. However we never lost sight of the most important consideration – the children. As a result, we have a great friendship now that has been built on both of us wanting the best for our children. We speak regularly and have two well adjusted, well mannered teenage children.

The second….well she just turned out to be a nutter and I walked away. Financially that was bad for me, but there are some things in life that are more important than money. When it comes to the point that you are so unhappy that your friends and family notice the change in you and wonder what’s up then it’s time to seriously consider what you are doing.

And now…well now I am in a place that I could never have thought I would be 2 years ago. I have someone who I love dearly, shares the same interests as me – Heck, she’ll even brave a cold Aberdeen winters afternoon to come along and watch me playing Rugby !! My friends and family remark on how nice it is to have the “Old me” back and I feel better than I have for a long time. I consider ourselves lucky, we both have the advantage of being that little bit older (perhaps wiser though we will muck around like kids at times )and both now know what we want out of life.

So when it comes to regretting things…well had I not walked away from my second relationship, no matter how scary or debilitating the implications were at the time, I would not be enjoying the happiness that I do now. Sometimes you just have to take the first step, no matter how daunting it may appear !!

Wise words, where did you get that one from?

If a problem has no solution, it may not be a problem, but a fact – not to be solved, but to be coped with over time.:p 🙂

Or! run like hell ;):D Thing is I can never walk away because I will not let any problem get the better of me.;)

We have to remember that sometimes the only solution to a problem is to walk away.

I think you have a valid point there. Anyway on a lighter note the problems are not imposssible to solve so I’m sure I’ll find an answer eventually

😀 Some are ! good luck with your quest.:D

Mike,this probably sounds a lot ruder than it should,but I think this is getting too personal to be on a public forum .

You’re being too hard on yourself. Virtually all the older divorced blokes I know started again,invariably with a younger model,and you must be a decent sort to have been married twice.Must be a strain keeping the e mails quiet though .

BumbleBee, my appologies for laxness. I should have answered this when it first appeared but got sidetracked and said something entirely different. I did start again with a younger model (by 2 years) but it wasn’t a change for the better. Maybe I’ve been married twice because I’m not a decent sort. Mind you the ex keeps saying I’m a good man and deserve to be happy – a sentiment the youngest son and his fiance agree with so are they right and the otheer half wrong? I don’t really know.

You all sound like a bunch of hen pecked whimps…get some back bone …show ’em who’s boss

That’s what I was thinking Steve! what has become of people.:D:D:D
