I am a 70 year old f, involved with 76 m. I have known him for 5 years, involved romantically for 3, I was still married when we first became romantically involved, my marriage was emotionally and verbally abusive, I didn’t leave my husband because he was very ill. My husband passed in July last year. Shortly after my romantic friend told me he loved me. I told him that also. We’ve seen each other 2-3 times a month since. We have several issues that have become problems; he suffers from ED from a broken neck spinal injury, and he has a health/emotionally compromised neighbor that has decided that she wants him. He has told her that he’s not interested in her because of a 20 year age gap( last year). She asked if age is the only reason last week and he replied that her living situation and her health problems are also reasons. He conveyed this to me (why)? I responded that he was too nice in his response and that he should have said he’s involved and happy with me. He ended things with me by phone yesterday because of my jealousy… I said I trust him but not her and can think of scenarios where she will try to take advantage. Should I try to call him and salvage this o forget it. During the call when he ended things he also said that I deserved a fully functioning man, I responded that what we had was good for me and never put any pressure on him…there are other ways. A little more about me, my free time is very limited, I work 5-6 days 12 hours a day running a small business. My free time is limited unfortunately. What do you think?
