HOW OLD IS TOO OLD? IS AGE DIFFERANCE A PROBLEM : QUESTIONS FOR MISSY

QUESTION FOR MISSY :

How old is too old?  Older men seem to be very interested in me.  I'm 21. I go out with men who are in their late thirties to late forties basically. Some have been divorced. Some never married.

Roxanne

Minneapolis

ANSWER FOR MISSY:

Roxanne, when we fall in love, we fall in love.  I think when we do, we overlook the practical, such as that, if we are with a person who is a generation or so ahead of us, they may be in a different time of life than we are, or will be.  Think of this. Retirement! A man who is 37 to your 21 is basically going to retire about sixteen years before you!

I think one should consider as a candidate for a relationship those who are seven years younger to those who are seven years older.  At 21 this isn't practical.  It wouldn't even be legal or right for you to date a 14 year old.  For a 30 year old, this would mean dating men between the ages of 23 and 37.  Let's say a man is 50.  I think the age range of women he is dating should be between 43 and 57.

I still see potential generational differences but perhaps what's most important is maturity.

Tradition however, differs. Tradition is that a man marries when he can afford to - and that it is he who chooses who he will marry. And since it can take a while for a man to get there, he may very well choose a much younger woman.  What does afford to marry mean these days when so many women self-support? 

Self assess Roxanne.  Is the relationship a good one?

Love is love and love can be a rare thing in a life and maybe being practical should be overlooked in favor of love!

K9'S FOR WARRIORS : VETERANS WITH POST TRAUMATIC STRESS TEAMED WITH LOVING SERVICE DOGS!

K9S FOR WARRIORS   What a wonderful effort!

Excerpt:

Roughly 20 Veterans die by suicide every day, and over 1,000 dogs are euthanized. K9s For Warriors exists because of a fierce dedication to saving the lives of both Veterans and rescue dogs. This program is backed by scientific research and empowers Veterans who fought for our freedom to live a life of independence. Graduates of the program are able to live a life of renewed purpose and independence, that they previously did not think was possible. Many have reunited with their families, gone back to school, restored their relationships with family, and significantly reduced their medications.

PURE BRED ? : ADOPTING A DOG IS A DECISION TO MAKE WISELY

AMERICAN KENNEL CLUB GUIDE TO DOG BREEDS 

Dogs do have needs and there are expenses.  If I could do it over, the one thing I would do is buy doggie health insurance.  When I got my dog she was almost five years old and I knew near nothing about her past. Later I found out she had likely been allowed to breed or perhaps bred in a backyard.  Breeders sometimes stop when a dog is about five years old.

I soon learned she was terrified to have an accident in the house... i.e. housetrained.  However she was never taught any commands such as sit and stay. She also did not know what to do with toys and didn't play with them.

I had no idea if she'd ever had vaccinations or medical care. I didn't know that I could get health insurance for her, starting with her adoption from a local shelter where they had groomed her, cleaned her teeth, and otherwise given her a thumbs up when it came to her health...So, a dog does not have to be a puppy in order to get health insurance for it.
