Dear Suze, I’m 38, she’s 56. She married and divorced later in life and her kid is a senior in high school. I married and divorced young and my sons are around the same age. I want to spend the rest of my life with her. She loves me too and our kids get along well enough. She’s worried I should find someone my own age to grow old with.
Dear May. You’ve met at different life stages. Do they meld? Is she near retirement and you have 30 more years of 9 to 5, or do you work from home with flexible hours. Do you want more children but she’s postmenopausal? What are your expectations in 5, 10, 20 years? A pro would be shared interests, values, culture/religion. A con would be an unequal balance of power ($, status, worldliness). Add up your pros and cons and start your serious discussions of life together from there. -SQ
