So far my best relationships have been with men a few years younger. As I get more mature I see increasingly that a lot of the men my age have settled into ruts I wouldn't be comfortable in, have some real health issues (I thanklessly nursed one, if I love someone who gets sick that's one thing- starting out that way is another) or have decided to be old. But then the LOML is 7 yrs younger and I don't know we will survive his bitterness and the old anger he carries.
