That’s one reply I didn’t expect, I’m 61 and a cuddly size 14!

Make the most of it. You have a second chance, it sounds wonderful.

I met my partner almost 9 years ago. I was 58, he was 61. Have never been happier.

Be happy Katie59 you are a lucky woman

Just enjoy it. The same thing happened to me over 10 years ago. Dont over analyse or overthink. I think its lovely.

Love and the other stuff can come at any age - enjoy!!!

Just enjoy it Katie.

Just go with the flow! Pleased for you to have found love and that you love it too!

It happens, how wonderful, don’t question it, just enjoy!

I also had this 13 or 14 years ago. At the the it was heady and all consuming but I don't want it again, because it WAS all consuming.

I think this might be what is known as ‘bragplaining’! But hey, who cares? Enjoy your fun.

Enjoy !!!

I wasn’t expecting any attention, I guess because I hadn’t had so much as a cuddle for 10 yrs so I was pretty low and resigned to companionship at best. I really did think I was too old to respond to a man, it’s nice to hear that others have had such good fortune.

It is heady and romantic which is lovely, marriage is not on the cards but I am financially secure, a good NHS pension and the cost of a house from the divorce. I’m thinking of buying a house and renting it out, to at least get some income from the cash, if I don’t need it my sons can benefit in the future.

Also to give yourself some security if things don't work out long term Katie.

It's our tenth wedding anniversary this year and we're still like newly weds. Enjoy it. It's love.

What a lovely life affirming post! Go with it and enjoy. We all deserve to feel like this and 61 is not old. Enjoy the butterflies in stomach feeling :-)

It sounds lovely.....but do keep your feet firmly on the ground, particularly around your money. You never know what’s round the corner. Hopefully, it’ll be more of the same?

I’m happy for you, long may it continue too,

My mum’s cousin was widowed about ten years ago. He phoned my mum recently to gleefully tell her he’d had his CV vaccine and that he’s got a new girlfriend. He’s 95yo! . She’s a younger woman, only 78.

Good for you, Katie59 (and it sounds like it is!!)

I met my current DH when I was 53, in the days of Friends Reunited which is how he found me! Yes, the melting moments were part of that for us, too. When he was widowed and I felt there was no future in my first marriage, we became a permanent item and married in 2015. He lives in France and, under normal circumstances, we spend time together and apart in the UK and France.

Currently we are marooned in our respective countries but make the most of Zoom to maintain contact. We eagerly await the lifting of travel restrictions but we know it won't be soon. I'm glad to hear you are happy and buying a house to let is a good way of making your settlement sum work for you.

i echo Toad, just be careful re money.

from the title, i thought it was going to be about rent.
