33 year age difference is quite a bit, but my W and OM are 31 years apart. My own kids say he is a young looker for 68. Even my W believed him for a while when they first met and he lied to her that he was 58.

That is great that you have someone like that of the opposite gender to talk with. For me, it is my W's good friend that lives nearby. I also talk with her best friend who lives in Sacramento, but not as often as the one that lives here and has been cheated on twice by prior H's. Her current H is a really nice friendly guy, but she has her own problems with him because he is not a take charge "alpha" male kind of guy. She has expressed that she desires a leader for a H. I hope that their M works out because he is such a great guy and she is too.

It is good that you identify your feelings because it helps for you to learn to control them.

Dont try to over do all your goals and GAL activities. Sometimes, it is just nice to be a potato and have quiet times.
