Ouch!
Here I am at the end of my eighteen year marriage, in the middle of a new relationship with a girl twenty years younger than me, who is engaged and living with someone else whom she loves and in return loves her, but doesn’t desire to meet her needs and is moving out so they can learn to appreciate each other more. I think she’s beautiful and intelligent and I am very attracted to her. She is both, aware of the current consensus found in popular media about relationship dynamics, and prone to be consumed by her emotions. I could fall in love with her but then I could put pins in my eyes too. Damn, that’s going to hurt.
