Hello everyone, I am new here and just thought I would explain what is going on and see if others think I am over reacting. I have been seeing this older man since November. He is 55 and I am 39. I have really fallen for this man. We have so many laughs and good times. He lost his wife to a terrible battle with cancer not long before we started dating. It started out as friends and went farther before either of us knew what was going on.
We kept the relationship secret at first for many reasons 1. I felt unconfortable about the age difference, 2 didn't want to hurt his wifes kids which are grown and out of house. and 3. I work with some of his family members and friends of his and his wifes and I didn't want them to think bad of me. I think of others before myself and I know I need to work on this. People started hearing about us after I bought a house and he helped me fix it up. Bob must be embarrassed of me or something cause he is working on his cabin and about 6 friends are coming for a week to help him. He told me he would miss me not seeing me for a week. He said he wouldn't be able to leave to sneak over and of course didn't offer to have me come there to meet some of his friends. I have such a hard time telling him how I feel. I am hurt and wonder why we are even continueing this. Please tell me what you think
