My toyboy wants a woman his own age — I want our affair to continue
Share:
Watch any rom-com and you’ll see that ‘just sex’ rarely stays that way — it’s inevitable someone will eventually catch feelings. This week, we hear from a reader whose whirlwind affair with a younger man at work began as a hit of excitement in her otherwise ‘conventional’ life.
Alongside the fact she’s married, the age gap is another barrier to them being any more than a fling. But now her toyboy is interested in a meaningful relationship with someone his own age, the woman is reluctant to let go. Read the advice below, but before you go, don’t forget to check out last week’s column, from a man struggling with romantic feelings for his stepdaughter.
I’ve worked for the same company since I left school more than 30 years ago and in that time, I’ve married, moved house twice and brought up three children. My husband and I have nice holidays, lots of shared interests, and celebrated our silver wedding anniversary last year.
Basically, I’ve had a really conventional life with nothing to complain about. So why am I risking everything by having a fling with a colleague, 23 years my junior, who clearly wants nothing from the relationship except sex?. What started as a silly bit of flirting has blossomed into something more, and we’ve been meeting up in secret since the end of last summer. I think about him all the time and wish I was young and pretty like I used to be. He has an amazing body, knows every button to press, and sex with him is like nothing I’ve ever experienced before.
