He will chase me down and argue. Last night I calmly told him I was going down the street 9 houses (a married couple that are friends but she was at work) and he came running after me in his underwear! I don’t want to cause a scene or wake up the boy and he knows that. He locked me out of the house completely one night and I had to break in to get in the house!

I don’t feel right about a shelter. My first husband was very abusive and this is nothing but crazy depression and misery. A lot of it is self induced but I just feel lost. I found this sight and said why not see what is out there. I don’t have anyother way to talk to people so this seems like a good escape….. thank you foe reading and offering help….

age can make a difference in conversation but so can education, money, travel, politics, kids, wants, needs….. Age can be over come as long as there is more than sex.. Oh, there has not been any sex!

His wife may be just as unhappy! Why do people think staying together for the kids is best??? It may have made it thru the 50’s but now???? there can be too much happiness had…. and karma… well it does not mean he wont do the same to you in 5 years or as soon as he gets in your pants but you have to believe that happiness can be had….

Thank you…..you made me laugh! I have a dark sense of humor!

Ok, well I am in the exact opposite situation. I have fallen for a guy 12 years younger so….. Life is too short to be unhappy. Did you know he was married right away?? If friends are going to be that judgmental… they really aren’t friends. I only have one judge! My friends may not always agree with what I do or how I do it but they are there for me and I am there for them That is why friends are really hard to come by. If it works out for the 2 of you (the guy) I am sure you will take very good care of his kids, but seeing the people they love happy is better than any other gift out there! Good luck!

Hang out with him. You may find out he’s a great friend. Girlfriends come and go!

Well, I may not be your ideal help here but I (even as a grown woman) had weight issues. I wanted to join the military but I did not weigh enough so I put weights in my bra…. weird I know. But there are a few things that will help with weight gain. Shakes taste like crap and really dont do much unless you drink them all the time. Milkshakes can do the same thing for you and they taste better!

The best thing is high protein foods. Meat, potato, dairy, bananas, and cereal. Try to eat 4 meals a day. But also be thankful, at 16 being the tall skinny kid may suck, but at 40 the tall slim man wins out over the fat bald guy every time!

Good luck!
