Hi. Unlike you I have found most posts NOT helpful..I have this wonderful BF or did anyway until he filed an injunction for harassment against us...I am so heartbroken..I am 65 and he will be 64 in two weeks. His wife died in 2011 and we connected so well in 2013 until I was in the hospital...then he just left and when I visited him in february yelled at me and chased me out of his store( he is a merchant). then when we went to visit him in May he was angry and told me and my son he didn't want my birthday cake but after we talked to him awhile he began to be friendly again. He was confusing though and talking to people in space and then told my son that he had been in the Middle East fighting giants that were as tall as skyscrapers and that he was exploding them with light beams and that they were falling to the ground in pieces...OY VEY! Anyway, I would say, stay with him if you love him..don't let anyone tell you differently no matter WHO they are..this is YOUR decision...anyway.. those are MY thoughts..
