Hi Rob...if its just a temporary thing...it will pass...so bear with it...use the helpful advice that the others have posted on here...if you think this may turn into a long term thing then use whatever help you can get in the interim....
Mychelle...Jet is one of the most "sensitive" people on the forums..she would not intentionally hurt or insult ANYONE...
I have been reading your threads and your posts...and it doesn't seem like "other people" are the ones with the issues...it more so sounds like you are the one that is making "age" an issue...JMHO
I posted this on another thread...but it seems appropriate for here too...
When I woke up today and realized I was 42 years old...I smiled...I am loving it...as a woman it has been the best time of my life!!
No I didn't want to be single at this age, but i do know i have alot more to offer a partner in a relationship than i had 20 years ago..
I love the little crow's feet when i smile...it says that through it all I learned to laugh and kept my sense of humour.. I may not have the body i did 20 years ago...but guess what I got the honor of being a MOM!!
These years have taught me patience and tolerance...acceptance for differences and change...and I thank each and every person that has contributed to my life that I may be who I am today!!
Depends on what the reason is i don't like the person...if its just a personality conflict...well since i don't have to live with him, I guess it doesn't really matter in the long run...
An awful connection?...Who am I to say...I didn't do so well with my choice of husbands so i'm not really in a place to make such a judgement call for anyone else...
I am content to let people live their lives...be a shoulder when they need one...and be on the cheering team when they have made good choices for themselves...
The only people I am "obligated" to at the moment as far as choices go...are my two children...
Rob65...you need to see a doctor and discuss this with him...yes some people have things in their life that depresses them now and then...but alot of times its a "chemical imbalance" which can be corrected with the use of medication...
Please don't leave it until its too late to find answers....

There are many many things i'm very spontaneous with...i love "life" and tend to grab it by its horns...lol...
However, if i am entering into an argument...i think everything through before speaking...and sometimes that could be days before i am ready to "discuss" it...
It is not to say that men do this only...women (cougars) go through a "stage" i suppose..but its more likely that an older man will settle with a younger woman...than a younger man will stay put for an older woman...
Its not necessarily a insultive thing either...its just human nature really...
Again the movie i referred to was exactly this topic..and what it opened my eyes to (especially given my age and circumstance) that i at this age have sooooo much to bring to a relationship, that a woman half my age could not possibly...and i am speaking about the wisdom of life's experiences....
I have to admit the same...I'm not much into this, never have been..but out of curiosity i have checked out my sign...Libra..and as you say..I do find that it does describe my characteristics for the most part
This is one of my most favorite quotes by Khalil Gibran
"One day you will ask me who's life was more important..mine or yours...and I will reply mine... And you will walk away from me...never knowing it was you that was my life"
We are mostly all here for the same reason Mychelle...this is a dating site...so i would find someone who is pressing their point by starting a thread to expound on their virtues (being sarcastic here) is in poor taste...
I agree...it is very seldom that i will attempt any contact with someone "totally out of the blue"...rather my contacts have moreso been with people i see posting in the forums (both men and women) because it gives me an idea about their thought patterns, their values...and their personality...
..."Authority usually reacts badly to change, especially if not in their favor. "....
Thats my point exactly...those in "authority" will only give you enough crumbs to satisfy you...its those that challenge them wholeheartedly that demand and get the "full meal"
I happen to think what a "mature" woman has to offer a relationship is more appealing in the long run...
Just watched the movie "Something's Got To Give" with Diane Keaton and Jack Nicholson last night...excellent movie, and certainly food for thought about this very same subject...
Each age group has different things they offer within a relationship...but when you think about it..."mature" people do not only get to bring those qualities...but the experience of "life" with them to the table...
I guess my concern would be that the disappointment they MAY feel having not achieved their dreams would be devastating to them...
And again, I admit that i may be totally out of line to even be thinking that i know the right of it...this is difficult for me..because i do want my children to "dream", the "adult" in me begs for reality though...
