Hi everyone. I have been reading the threads for a week or so and am very interested in joining in as I am now involved with a
man 20yrs. my senior. I am 37 and he is 57.
I actually knew of this man for years but never really "saw" him..you know? until the the week of the hurricane..LOL I love him and I *know* that he truely loves me (which kind of freaks me out a bit)....this relationship is so different than any other one
that I had ever been in before. For several reasons 1) he liked me before I liked him (I know that sounds wierd..but it is the truth) 2) he is very sensitive to my feelings and 3) he is SO mature compared to the other men that I have dated.
'J' is still married but is legally seperated..that always ways on my mind..
So anyway, I hope I can join in and get some great advise here. :)

Iluvhim,
Hello and welcome!
Glad you've found somebody that you can say your happy with, that means everything.
As for his being Legally Seperated weighing on your mind so much. I can only tell you that I started my relationship with my YW by being Legally Seperated and 14 months later it has turned into Happily Engaged!
But stick around and I'm sure you'll find some great people and some good advice......or vise versa...LOL.

Yes, welcome, welcome! I was in the same boat as rolls (well sort of). My husband was still legally married, but separated when we started dating too. But, we have now been married a year.
It sounds like you are very happy. Enjoy it! You will find lots of support here.
You have a similar age gap to mine. I am 34 and my husband is 52 (18 years).

Welcome to the board, Iluvhim. I'm no longer in law enforcement but my investigative skills tell me, from reading your name, you really love your OM.......LOL
Allow me to join you on this boat that's floating. When I moved her to Cali from New Orleans, I was extremely legally separated from my ex. Even by the time I met my YW (she was 20 and I was 37 then), I was still legally separated. It wasn't until a year after moving here that I finally became legally divorced and that made me and my YW legally and illegally happier. A (my YW) feared that my ex would talk me into going back home to reconcile, which she tried.
But besides all of that, if I don't WELCOME you accordingly, the others may talk bad about me behind my back. And my back can't take such abuse.....LOL So, on behalf of the entire Ageless Love boards (OW/YM & YW/OM):
Welcome to the beloved Ageless Love board

What is it with EX's that makes them think putting us through agony for years then turning around and thinking we actually WERE the right choice for them, makes us WANT to go back?:D
