MATURE gay men/lesbians: Is it wrong to leave my partner of 38 years for another man? Read before you judge? I'm an aging gay man. I'll be 57 at the end of this year and I've been with my husband Liam since I was 18. Fresh out of high school, I met Liam that same summer and he romanced me well and made me fall for him. Then I moved in with him and his guyren that fall. Liam is ten years older than I am and his wife/mother of his guyren died at a very, very young age before he met me. I took role of the old-fashioned "housewife "while Liam worked at a company that required him to travel a lot and spend up to 2 weeks away from home sometimes. I've forsaken my family to be with this man. To be honest, most of my relationship was lonely. I cooked, cleaned and took care of his guyren while he was working. Liam was always a great provider financially but my GOSH if I had a penny for every time I found out that he was sleeping with another man or woman! The last time I caught Liam cheating was in the early 90's. He vowed to be good to me from then on and he kept his word. But his career still kept him away for periods of time and I still felt lonely. But I never cheated. Now, he's been retired for 6 years and he's been giving me all the time in the world. Liam loves me dearly but I stopped feeling the same. I love him but I'm not IN love with him anymore. I hate to keep leading him on like this. But for the past two years, I've been secretly seeing a 40 year old guy named James. James is the nephew of one of my closest female friends. We kept our relationship a secret but James makes me so happy. He's sweet, he's intelligent and he makes me feel appreciated and important. Liam tries but I'm just not feeling it the way I used to. I'm too nervous about leaving Liam and breaking his heart but I know what I want. I did my duties, I raised his guyren. Now his guyren are grown and married with guys of their own. Am I wrong? I can't help my feelings. Liam wasn't exactly a saint in the past but that was the past. So, now I feel like the bad guy. What should I do? | | Ok, at first by reading the title I was gonna say 'NOOOOOOO don't leave' because I'm a monagamous romantic. Then I finished your story and when you got to the point of the times he cheated on you with both men and women while on the road, then I was on your team. I'm not a fan of cheating and that's because I messed up one great relationship of 6 years by cheating, believe me I regret it a lot. Anywhoo, I think, you should talk to Liam and tell him that you need to be happy, you say the past is the past, but the past made you who you are now and formed your opinion about the present. The pastis not always forgotten. Wish you the best with your new love:)<3 | What Potential have I got? Please help evaluate my life? Hi,
This is me, 29 years old lady:
1. daughter of a STRONG single mother who struggled for her guys education but was too strict with them ... they all ended up lacking confidence and self esteem
2.I got my degree in English ( in an Arab country )
3.Joined my Muslim English husband in the UK, but he wanted me as housewife and was against me working.
4.While married I kept myself busy studying IT so I got ECDL ( European Computer Driving Licence)
5.I chose to divorce
6.Depression
7.Married an Arab, 16 years older than me, old mentality, can't trust a woman, excessive jealousy, so against me working
8.Got UK driving licence
9.Learnt a foreign language within 2 years
10.Had baby
11.I chose do divorce
12. Now, I am a single mother who has the education but no concrete work experience, except voluntary work and private tuitions
13. I am addicted to education, and I dream to obtain my Doctorat ( most likely in Feminism)
13.I feel energetic, and want to give myself and my baby the best chances of happy and successful life
14.I am dealing with serious issues of confidence and self esteem ( eg shy to speak to men/ out of breath in job interviews) due to guyhood, Arab society mentality, two " failures" in marriage, lonely with no friends...
BUT , I can hear a voice deep down on me that says " I CAN DO IT" " I CAN BE AN INDEPENDENT WOMAN" " I CAN BE A RESPONSIBLE PERSON"
I feel i am more mature and open minded than I have even been. I am grateful to my " failures" and to people around me to make me rethink, re-evaluate everything in my life. I am ready to go and embrace LIFE !
I just need to see honest responds to the following question:
Considering what I stated above, what potential have I got? What chances? What are few possible steps I can take towards my dream of INDEPENDENCE
Thank you in advance for all your advice | Dear Sophie,
You obviously had bad choices of husbands, or maybe you did not even allow yourself to choose, you just accepted offers for marriage before thinking,
I am not sure what you menat but Arabic mentality?
I am about your age, not married, achieved a great deal of indepenedence and aquired high degree.
Am I happy? Do I think I achieved all what I wanted?
NO. But I am working towards it.
If you are an Aranic woman, then please face yourself with the fact that you have to work for yourself,
you have to think of what you want in 5 yeards times and plan for it and work towards your plan,
do not merry someone to answer your dreams and then blame his mentality for your failure,
You have a guy now, I am sure you feel responsible towards her/him. Plan to love her unconditionally and to make her happy and to teach her how to assume her responsibilities, like them and work towards fulfilling them.
Do not punish your mother please for not doing it right,
to the contrary, love her, refer to her and tell her what you think went wrong in your upraising. Ask her help and support. Also do not push the father of your guy away,
talk to him as a mature independent wise woman and agree with him on terms to make the best for your baby.
I am sure others can advice you more on steps towards independency,
\but please read what I wrote you carefully,
I took sometime from my busy day just to tell you what I think you need to hear.
and seek the strength from within,
Pray to the ultimate power and believe in your prayers,
because God loves us all and will help us when we are ready to be helped.

It tells the story of four dissimilar women in post-World War I England who leave damp and rainy London to go on a holiday to a secluded coastal villa in Italy (Portofino). Two housewives, who belong to the same church but have never spoken, become acquainted. Each in her own way is suffering through an empty marriage and faces the prospect of a lonely and almost isolated middle age. After seeing a newspaper ad for a villa for rent on the Italian Riviera, the women set about finding two other ladies to share expenses. Joined by a beautiful young socialite and an elderly dowager, the four find rejuvenation in the tranquil beauty of their surroundings.
Much like the film this book by Elizabeth Von Arnim inspired, there is something peaceful here on these pages. This is a gentle novel about the gradual internal changes brought about by the beauty of our surroundings. It is a book that reads itself as much as it is read, the author writing with the flow of the character's thoughts and feelings as their hearts are changed by the surprise of beauty.
An ad to rent a castle in San Salvatore on the Italian Riviera will prompt two only slightly acquainted British women named Rose and Lottie to inexplically leave their husbands behind for a summer that will change their lives and their marriages forever.
Joining Rose and Lottie for this holiday is Mrs. Fisher, an older woman living in the past, and Lady Caroline Dester, a grey-eyed society beauty tired of being gawked at like a majestic statue, not allowed to be human. Diverse in nature and temperment, not to mention background, they interact uneasily together until the flowers and the sea bring about a change in their souls.
Surrounded by fig and olive trees, plum blossoms and Tamarisk daphnes, and the scents of fortune's yellow rose and blooming acacia, the women slowly find their roles at this castle by the sea and in doing so find themselves as well. New insights will prompt Rose and Lottie to send for their husbands. Lady Caroline, or 'Scrap' as she is known, will find love in spite of her wish to be alone and her great beauty. Mrs. Fisher will form a friendship with Lottie and her husband and discover a renewed zest for creativity in this heaven by the sea.
This is a novel about life and love, told gently through the emotions of these women, as the surprise of beauty and the warmth of being suddenly admired and seen as beautiful, when they had not been before, changes their simple lives, which were not so simple at all. You will definitely enjoy this novel if you enjoyed the lovely film it inspired.
A peaceful yet breathtaking portrait of love is painted by the author in a pleasing and gentle manner readers will fall in love with. A beautiful read on paper, or listened to unabridged with Nadia May reading. This is a book that refreshes the soul and calms the spirit. It is about love restored and love discovered, along the wistaria covered steps leading down to the sea.
Help please…I have to finish an essay by tonight…the essay question is…..show how small changes in an individual’s life or routine can influence changes in one’s outlook, mood or personality. Using evidence from the film support this statement..Basically the women completely let their minds slipp…and immerse themselves into the beauty of their surroundings…and a small change like this really changes their outlook, mood and personalities.
The four rent San Salvatore together, and immediately begin to change. Lotty loses her nervous demeanor, and becomes a self confident, mature woman. Rose blossoms when she realizes that she does possess beauty, and wins back the love of her formerly indifferent husband. Margaret thaws out and begins to smile and relax, even conversing with the other tenants, living in the present instead of the dusty past. And Caroline re-opens her heart to love and friendship by recognizing the emptiness of her life before she left for Italy.
