I am 45, he is 43 and our daughter is 13. I have two adult children from a previous marriage and have not married again after 23 years being single. He has never married and does not have any other children. He tells me that things may change if I can get a job somewhere where we all can move and start fresh on neutral ground. Of course he offers no details of what that change might be. I know I should be dating men who are more my equals, but even though were have such distance between us, I feel like we are great friends. And he was attracted to me at some point, before all the ugliness of the fighting over the years. I don’t know why I am continuing to let him string me along. But when I have dated other men, I feel like I am forcing something. I appreciate your advice and will continue to try to create some distance. Thank you.
