more thoughts on love in old age. [View all]
so, i posted a while back about a guy who rejected me over my age. that got truly f'ed up.
but i lucked into a new relationship w an even younger man who has zero hang ups about such things. my feet havent touched the ground in a few days.
it has about zero long term potential, but carpe diem. i think it's like the platte river- a mile wide and an inch deep. but it's wet and i'm thirsty and i'm wadin in.
he is a truly decent man. and one reason i know that is true is- he was a loved child. not a perfect family, duh. but i'm trying to think through other people i know who can say the same, and there are damn few. and they are the cream of the crop of my friends.
he has a good relationship w both his folks, but i learned the hard way that a man who doesnt love/respect his mom is not partner material.
but one thing has me sorta scratching my head- i feel like at this age, every new relationship reminds me of an old one. i'm tryin not to go there. but the one that this one reminds me of, i never got over. it's way different, obviously, cuz i am. and i dont believe in fairy tales like i did then.
but is this a thing? do new loves ring old bells at this age?
