I know this is a relationship issue, but that board doesn't get as many visits as this one.
I'm 29, and I met a 57-year-old married man through work. Over several months, we have fallen in love with each other. All we can think about is each other, and we email and talk on the phone every day. Then suddenly two weeks ago, I lost my job and had to move out of state to live with my parents while I'm looking for another job. He has been married since he was 20 years old and hasn't loved his wife for a long time. He did have a sexual affair about 6 years ago, but other than that, he's only been with his wife.
The obstacles to us being together are obvious. If he were younger, there would be no question that we would be together.
But neither of us can deny that we are in head-over-heels in love with each other. The love has really intensified in the past few weeks. He wants to leave his wife and have me move in with him, and I would but I don't know what would happen with his wife. She has a job, but I can't guarantee that I'm ready to marry a man who is twice my age, even though I love him more than I've loved anyone. In fact, this is the first time I've been in love. I want him to be in my life forever.
Please, someone, give me some advice.
