Reply #6: Let Me Tell You About My Grandmother

[NashVegas]

She was widowed at the age of 58.

Remarried 2-3 years later.

Divorced two years later.

In my teens, I asked her why it didn't work out with her and "Uncle Karl." We all thought he was the bees knees, but it turned out that he was impotent and had refused, all the while they were married, to seek treatment.

She never remarried after that, or had another gentleman friend. When I think back on this, the symbolism says, "make me feel like a woman, or take a hike." How many older men do you know / have you known, who still have a healthy appreciation for a little romance?
