Relationships

 
I was married for 22 years when I lost my wife, Marie to cancer. She was an outstanding mother and wife and we adored her. It was hard watching her go through something so debilitating and not be able to help her in any way. She suffered towards the end but passed away peacefully in her sleep. The only way I was able to cope with her death was knowing she was finally at peace and no longer suffering.

 

I was introduced to a nice woman four years later by my brother Frank. Christine was his bookkeeper and she was nearly fifteen years younger than me. We really hit it off despite the age difference. I introduced her to my kids and they approved and got along with her. We got married just eight months after we met. My brother was my best man and my kids were in the wedding also. Christine was the complete opposite of Marie. She didn't know how to cook or clean but she helped my kids with their homework and chauffeured them to their after school activities.

young-wife-betrayalI was happy and my life seemed to be on track again. Unfortunately less than two years later my happiness came to an abrupt end when Christine turned up pregnant. She wasn't sure whether me or my brother were the father so she had him take a paternity test which revealed he was the baby's father. When I asked her why she cheated she said she needed someone younger to keep up with her sexually. She also admitted to having other lovers while we were married. After we divorced she moved in with Frank and I guess they're living happily ever after. I don't know for sure because I no longer speak to him. I was a fool to believe a younger woman loved me for me and not for the lifestyle I could provide for her. Lesson learned!

0 #4 This is why I stick to dating my own age group. — irishqt 2011-07-09 06:59
What happened to you is a tragedy, clearly, but it does go both ways. I have never been attracted to older men but they seem to love me. I have my own life pathed out and I do feel and older man would mess it up. It seems in your situation, it proves my point. I am disgusted that this younger woman maliciously did this to you and I really wish you the best in your future. Maybe there are older men reading this story now and see that they should stay to women their own age. So by sharing your story, it is helping others.

Clearly your young wife did not deserve a man like you. Some people use others to get to where they want to be in life. There are plenty of gold diggers out there and she happened to be one of them. What you brother did was dirty and if I were you I would pretend I never even had a brother now. My suggestion to you would be date someone more closer to your age next time.

Just to let you know Not all young women are users. You're better off without her! Let her be your brother's problem now. I'm sure she's cheating on him too. I hope you find love again. Stay sweet.

+3 #1 You happened to end up with one of the bad eggs... — seether 2011-06-23 11:55
It's unfortunate you happened to end up with one of the many younger women who enter a relationship with an older guy solely because of the lifestyle he can provide her :( But, you should not think that just because she was young that all women who are that much younger than you are the same way as it pertains to relationships with older men...

I am in a rather unconventional relationship myself: we met online. But not for dating -a one night stand. Apparently something more happened as the next day he dropped by and took me to lunch as well as invited me to go to a nearby city with him. We just seemed to click. Although he is 16 years older than I am, nearly a year later, we are as happy as can be and neither of us have even thought about another person.

I didn't agree to a relationship with him because of what he could give me (it was the same that I could do for myself), but because I really liked him and our lives and habits were really similar. He is also a great guy and more of a gentleman than most guys I've ever come in contact with. While we are not married, I do love him very much and look forward to making a life with him.

I share my story to let you know that not every woman who is younger than you is out for what you can do for her; but there are some who want to be with you because of how you make them feel :) Although I do not know you, I wish you the best of luck in life and success in all your future endeavors ^_^
