Is there an issue here about a man wanting to discuss emotional stuff?? I am getting conflicting messages. Can't we keep the techy stuff in some places and other stuff somewhere else??
Why? You appeared to be content with the replies to your original post. Lawrence asked a question, which perhaps should have been posted elsewhere, but it was posted here, and as such was given a reply.
Thread drift is not uncommon on AoS: in fact we are notorious for it.
Yes I am a moderator.
"Not for this bit of the forum?" No one here 'owns' a thread. You asked a question and were given several replies, which may or may not have been helpful to you. What more do you want? - this is not an 'agony aunt' forum.
For my part - I see nothing wrong with anyone dating a younger partner. In my case my partner is 7 years younger than me.
Only you, or your friend, can answer whether the relationship feels 'right', we can't do it for you.
Easy to say age doesn't matter, but sometimes it does. It really depends on what each of you are wanting from your relationship, and your own personal circumstances. The main one probably being health.
BTW my partner is 11 years younger than me (54 vs. 65), but living with me has aged her to the point where she may have caught up with me ;)
Yes Steve said he couldn't think of something else to talk about so I picked some subjects that usually lead to heated arguments on other forums, in the hope of winding some people up, but we're too nice on here to beat each other up over an opinion on hifi. Well usually anyway.
Funnily enough my wife is 10/11 years younger than me too depending on which month it is.
Al Pacino's just knocked up a bird 59 years younger than he is. Although in fairness he has executed a police captain in a crowded restaurant and not many of us have done that either.
