Our relationship started out innocently... as friends, then it went forwards. He has been upfront with me all along about his marriage, and because this is a small town I know who she is, and what he has said is true. He takes better care of me than my own exhusband ever did. I was able up to a year ago to keep it at arms length emotionally.... because I don't trust men very much. Until one day he out of the blue for me said "I Love You!" I was shocked, and couldn't respond. After some time I realized that I do Love him too. He has gone to a lawyer and the accountant and both tell him at his age.... he will be starting over again. We are at a loss as to how to continue what we have but neither of us can leave it either.

reader, anonymous, writes (5 March 2011): Starting over can be very rewarding and can be done in a relatively short period of time. I don't know what it is this man does for a living but I would imagine most of his business contacts would stay in place. I am nearing 50 and have had to start over after enjoying a modest degree of financial success and to me, it is worth it because I am so much happier. A lot of things I spent money on in the past no longer hold the same emotional value/reward and allure as they once did. I get more pleasure from eating chocolates in bed with my soul mate than any number of trips to Vegas staying in luxury suites with VIP treatment. I can't figure out why it's this way, it just is.
