Ironically, our discussion back then (and I still believe it) is that an 18 year gap is of LARGER impact when you are younger than older. 28 to 41 is a much larger difference "in personal growth and life expecttion" than 45 to 63.
But I do appreciate your suggestion. The biggest reason I would let her go is to speed my recovery and get on with my life. I don't have as much time to "waste' as she does, mathematically.
