Hi, I am a 37 year old female. I met a man who is 12 years younger than me. We were just friends but we ended up falling in love with each other. He wants to marry me. I have been married twice already and promised myself I will never marry again. The funny thing is he makes me feel like no man has ever. We have great sexually chemistry also which I lacked in my previous marriages. MY problem is IM afraid that as I age he will lose interest.. Not to brag but I am 37 and people that dont know me thinks Im 26/27 years old. Im just afraid of aging and him leaving me. Can anyone help me. Can anyone help me get over this fear? Can this relationship work?
Im afraid to go any further.

Well I'd say we get a posting like yours about once a week around here....seriously.
If you don't think you'd get married again, then I certainly wouldn't rush into anything with this guy whether he was 12 years younger or 12 years older. It's not uncommon for older women to experience the feelings of renewed sexual vitality that you mention with your bf. It's very, very common, in fact.
If you are both focused on looks, well it might never last. What do you have together besides looking young and great sex is the question?

My gorgeous husband of eleven years is ten years younger than me and I'm in my mid-40s. I'm sharing this with you to show you it *can* work. Relax and take care of yourself.

The funny thing is he makes me feel like no man has ever. To make a decision on how you FEEL can be a disaster. What counts are HIS ACTIONS over a long period of time, like 12 to 18 months. Anything less than that can be a mistake. How long did you know your ex's before you moved in together or got married? If you made the same mistakes that I did, it was a relatively a short amount of time. Do you see where I am coming from?
