well
I guess That's Good Hen.
good night.
Changing from a Manual car to an Automatic after driving manual for around 50 yrs
Tuned To 'The Archers' For The First Time In Months.
My first ever relationship was with an Older Lady who was in her late 50s.
I was in my mid 30s, and I seriously didn't see anything wrong in being involved with an older woman.
while the relationship lasted we did things that all couples do like seeing each other
Going on holidays together.
Spending weekends together etc , etc.
And Yes we also had sex.
my last relationship was with another older woman who was in her early 60s when we met
And I was in my mid 30s and our relationship/friendship lasted for 9 years.
Sadly she died in april this year after suffering a Heart attack which she never really recovered from and suddenly died while sitting reading in her daughters garden.
I was shocked and heartbroken when I finally found out what had happened to my dear ex girlfriend.
When I told my mum who is age 70 by the way, she was surprised that I had dated a much older woman and asked me what I was doing with someone much older than me?
I told her that my dear ex partner's age didn't bother me and I was proud and honored to have been a part of her life.
I now hold onto the hope of one day being re-united with my dear ex girlfriend based on faith in Jesus Christ.
Without that I would Have no hope at all except the precious memories which I continue to treasure.
I don't have a problem with people of different ages That have a relationship.
I think it is a good thing.
If anything what spoils it is imperfection in that eventually everyone grows old and dies.
To me that is the worst thing of all and it has happened to me and took away my dear ex girlfriend.
Obviously it happens to everyone eventually and everyone has their own way of dealing with it.
I say to those in a relationship in which you are younger and your partner is older
Enjoy it and try not to let society scare you into ending it with your partner.
if you both like and love each other
hold on to what you have because it is precious and like what happened to my dear partner
Death took her away.
So before it also takes your partner away, try to enjoy every moment of being in love.
Its one of the best if not the best thing in life.
And women are an incredible creation.
everything a man could wish for all in one unique and incredible body.
despite the cruelty of death, we are still blessed and so always treasure your partner and Treat like you would treat something of value.
well
I guess That's Good Hen.
good night.
My husband is younger than me. I don't hold it against him. 
As men usually die at a younger age than their wives, by around four years, and are usually four years older than their wives, I like to feel I am doing my bit to redress the balance. Now that he is almost 50 though he is starting to resent me calling him my toyboy.
jane My last partner was so young he'd probably be called a nappyboy but we stuck together for 18 years:-) he was younger in numbers but older in years. Now when I get 30+ younger blokes coming on, I tell them their 'far too old' for me:-)
The regulars on here might be able to answer this for me.
Why is that so many new posters who post on lots of threads at the same time with very long stories seem to have intermittent problems with writing.
It seems that there is a pattern of this and it has happened quite a lot before. An interesting phenomenon.
Bored students?
Answer to the OP: no.
Oh what larks! Let's all pick on Soutra (or traous) like she's the ONLY person to have commented in the intermittent capital letters.
And we'lk write it backwards- well sort of so she'll know it's our little in-joke.
I expected better of you Ana. 
It certainly wouldn't worry me if the next bloke I met was a 99yr old multi-millionaire and 30yrs older than me I could live with that 
What on earth do you mean, Soutra? 
Please explain exactly where on this thread I have 'picked on' you.
Wed 19.15, 19.16 and 19.24 imply complicity in the "joke". 
What 'joke'? Trevor wrote a sentence backwards, and I didn't know what 't'ii' meant. I didn't see it as a joke against you - against himself, perhaps?
Try Not Not make more of that than what it is Nellie.
so I for example admitted I can't write properly
and showed it in how I wrote my posts.
but Is it really something major Nellie?
and you Making more it than what it is I think encourages other people to jump on the bandwagon and Join in With the other Critics.
The Impression I have picked up so far is that there are a few people on this board that appear to enjoy picking at other posters?
The fact that within a short time a post is full of often skeptical and unkind comments
gives the impression of people waiting for the chance to put others down as best as they can and then attempt to excuse and justify it because of a previous bad experience?
I'll be surprised if any responses to this message are courteous.
and that is all based on The way I was Treated Yesterday by Fellow Posters.
It's all very well accusing someone of ulterior Motives without Just cause
only to Do so in a Discourteous way.
The saying That two wrongs don't make a right applies in this case.
but anyway Never Mind...Can't we all agree to a virtual handshake and try to get on without too much faultfinding?
oh it was joke was it?
Well I didn't Find It Funny Ana ; 0 )
Maybe I'm Too Sensitive? ; 0 (

Nothing wrong with your observation skills 
Every forum has its share of unpleasant people and GransNet is no exception - it's also one of the main reasons that people leave forums and yet unpleasant posters remain, it's a mystery ...

Well I never! Trev Your post of Thu 24-Jul-14 10:56:25 has shown a very rapid improvement in your literacy style compared with your earlier postings.
Well done!
I find it hard to think you are as poorly educated as you make out.
Being new on here though, if that is the case, you will not know what I mean about your style being similar to that of previous prolific posters who have haunted these forums.
Nellie
Thanks for your message.
Honestly I'm not good at writing.
It's something I Never Mastered During my school years.
And It's Simply Coincidence That My Style of Writing Resembles Certain Person's That pestered people on this site.
Presumption as you know can be a bad thing.
I have found I get on better with women who are a few years older than myself.
Have had a few dates meet ups , last one a few years back , met for lunch and ended up snogging in her car.
Mind you friendship starts it all with me.
Mick
Good luck too Michael in my opinion friendship has to underpin any relationship - however " drop dead gorgeous" the other person might be.
