Good evening ladies . I really want this to be a positive post , but something my husband just said has really got me thinking and worrying over . I am in the UK and have just been watching a programme about older , single celebrity ladies that have gone to Greece for the summer to find love . They have all been hurt by their exes who have no doubt left them for younger models . I remarked on this to my husband and he replied that an older man wouldn’t go with this particular woman aged 56 , but for someone much younger . I was taken aback and somewhat hurt by this , as he is very loving and caring towards me , but now I am wondering if this will happen to me in the future . I will be 51 next month and having countless peri symptoms , but I take care of myself as best I can , dress smartly and fashionably . The thing is my husband is 3 years younger and is he thinking like this and will want trade me in for a younger model ?  The other day when I was overdue , I joked that I was too old to have a baby to which my husband remarked “well I’m not “ . Am I over reacting and paranoid ? I don’t want to push him away with my insercurities .

    Men age too! They don’t stay young forever and the only reason for looking for young women is their narcissistim. And I really don’t want that kind of men beside me! smile

    Men age and sag and get old just like we do no different we just have a bigger job physiologically than they do and it shows on us.

    You never want a companion that doesn't love you exactly as you are, as a spiritual being..that is love ..not counting the wrinkles
