Well, he got married three times, did not have kids and one of his wives died. One of the reasons why he had a hard life. He was always away with his work, he is rather grouchy, he's wild when he's pissed off (he'd never touch a woman though, he is a real macho and thinks it's coward) and this all put together makes relationships difficult. But as he has been alone for several years now, I maybe arrived at the right time. Locals told me wow, he sort of gave up companionship, it's incredible he's going out with a woman like you now, he turned down a few women who tried to approach him during these years.

Actually thought it was very "american" great age differences. He's a yankee (his family is new englander) and he did not tell me there it is so odd to see young women with middle age guys. Instead in Europe it is a little strange, except when the man is very wealthy - in this case it is considered normal.

I felt being taken advantaged of with my exes: they were hypocrite, I felt like many times men tried to buy me. I wanted to get rid of all of this, I was looking for a purely masculine man, if you know what I mean. And yes in my area there are lots of very successful people, unluckily their personalities and values usually suck (rare exceptions not included in this group). Lots of metrosexual narcissistic men, not that having money is bad, not at all, but the way they use it and that high profile, no pain life, it probably turned them into something I find highly unattractive.

I'd advice her to try and stay for a couple of months or so, and see of he has serious ideas of marrying her for instance. What I am afraid of, is that seeing him again would mean I am completely in love with him, and coming back would be such a horrible grief.
