Question - (14 October 2007) 4 Answers - (Newest, 16 October 2007)
A female United Kingdom age 51-59, *utumnblonde writes:

Confused! I have been in a loving relationship with a man aged 40 for approximately 6 months, he adores both me and my disabled son.

However he just doesnt make my stomach turn over when he walks in the room. He also has a problem with cannabis use, that I find unacceptable.

Finally even though I enjoy his company intellectually we are worlds apart and he is constantly reminding me he is stupid, which upsets me.

However I would have been happy to continue, until 2 weeks ago a new member of staff joined our office, he is 15 years my junior, 28 and incredibly handsome. He has a degree in law. I never looked at him like a potential partner.

After three days he admitted he had feelings for me. Since that every night we are on the phone for hours at a time, discussing everything from music to current affairs. I find him exciting and I feel alive for the first time in years. He has also worked with disabled adults.

We have dated twice, but not had sex yet, he has held me in bed and i feel like i am in some kind of fairy tale. I am 43 and overweight.

He is british born but to a muslim family.

I have spoken to two friends one says I must follow my heart, and look at it well if it last 12 months at least i have had a wonderful 12 months.

The other said i shouldnt throw away Mr Reliable!

Help!

autumnblonde is verified as being by the original poster of the question

autumnblonde agony auntInteresting responses so far, but couple of things, first I never called Mr Reliable stupid, but he spends his time pointing out my career achievements and his lack of education, calling himself stupid.

Tommy7, trappings are inportant to me, all that is is finding a partner to love and love me. However my heart is dragging towards my Prince Charming!

I do agree with comment made by Jezebel, that if it goes wrong i cant expect Mr Reliable to be sat waiting!

Keep your opinions coming in please!

Lila agony auntDepends do you wanna a vibrator or a pair of Nike's? You and only you can decide what you want,what feels good or what is comfortable. By the way you called Mr. Reliable stupid I'm not a psychologist or anything but bad sign.

Since trapping are important to you, I say, by all means trade up to the new guy.
