Hello there, my name is Karen and I thank the board administrators for this site.
I'm 50 and the new love in my life is 35.
Admittedly, I never would have considered a relationship with a man 15 years younger than me - prior to meeting this beautiful soul.
His inner beauty shines and surpasses all age prejudices, but I am realistic enough to know that our age difference is a factor.
At first I was hesitant to enter into this relationship, you know how it is - old, ugly societal taboos raise their heads.
But for the first time ever in my life I am going to grab this brass ring. This man is more of a man than the three (older) men to whom I was married.
Add in the fact that we met online with the help of a dating service, and one can see the comments (disguised as concern) I have already heard.
He and I have yet to meet - however we feel we have touched souls and we plan on getting together in the next week or so when he returns home from his visit out east.
However, I know myself well enough to know that I will analyze this to death.
Which is why this board is perfect - it offers sane voices and lends balance.
Thank you everyone. I plan on being an active member and as well as receiving support, offering support and encouragement where needed.
Regards
