I have been dating a man for almost two years. He is about 20 years older than I am (I'm 40). He had been married previously but has been divorced for about 10 years.
Everything was going very well, we loved each other, the age difference was never a factor, and he meant the world to me... he still does.
One day he decided he wanted out of the relationship, and still loves me but he promised himself he would never fall in love again. Then I came along and he fell.
His fear of marriage and it not working got the better of him, so he left me.
I love him more than I have ever loved anyone before. We really got along great and so did all of our children. I can only hope that his heart will take charge over his fear of commitment.
I miss everything about him, especially the fact that he was my best friend.
