A collegue of mine, a mother of 19 year old twins is distressed. Her one son has been going out with an older women (this came to light when the other twin was sick and tired of all the lying going on) The truth is that the older women turns out to be her very good friend, who is now 49 years old. Let's call her Madam X.
Madam X is a very '"sweet"" woman - I know her, as I used to work with her. I say "sweet" in that she's ditzy, can have a laugh with her, but the honest to god truth is that there is no substance to her. She's all about the outside package and hasn't devoted much to any other knowledge. Look she's attractive enough, in good shape and I'm sure there are men/boys that truly find that package appealing.
Madam X went behind her friends' back and started a relationship with the then 17 year old. Mum is furious. Madam X says she's in love with the son, and he claims the same feelings for her..... At 30 years' difference could there be a serious relationship? Could he provide for her on all levels, or is it just about the sex?
I'll admit I've been very attracted to younger men ( 10 years younger than me ) but never persued a relationship.
So is age just a number and doesn't make a difference when you're in love? Or are there certain limits one should set. People say you can't help who you fall in love with ....
