Will he leave me for a younger woman?

Janice is not new to the phenomenon of older women being in relationship with a younger man - actually, she was married to one who was eight years younger than her. After divorcing him, she has once again fallen in love with yet another younger man and what makes the situation a bit delicate is that it is one of those military men relationships that have the Iraq effect. "I have no problem with the age difference (and neither does he - he is actually mad about me) this time but as I approach my 40th birthday, I wonder if I should be in a relationship with a 22 year old man. I am really afraid that he would leave me for a younger woman later on. Please help me deal with this," she writes. (Related: How to find mature women)

Relationships like yours are way more common than you think and these men are not leaving their wives to be with younger women, as many women like you suspect. In any case, don't you think that there is a possibility that even if this man were your age, he could still dump you for a 22-year old? It is important for you to understand that if he was genuinely not into you, he wouldn't waste his time on you - it will be very easy for him to date someone in his peer group.

If he wants you this bad, throw this idea out of your mind, feel equal to him, and don't worry so much about the future. No one has seen it, and if we keep wondering what could go wrong in the future, we will find it hard to live in the present as well as we should. So do your best, enjoy the love, and make each other happy.
