@divine1966: It's true -- it's not common to see 30 years of difference, in any country I think. But if you come to visit my area you will see plenty couples with huge age differences (between St Tropez and Monaco). The reason is that here you find the greatest "rich invasion" ever, they own houses here and those who don't have yachts and come on vacation. They come from all over the world and usually their mistresses/wives/girlfriends are extremely young compared to them. I know what I am talking about because one of my exes was the son of this kind of man. Exactly the world I'm exhausted of.

@jo_thorne: Mmh his generation of women is the generation which started working outside home, but as I was trying to explain he grew up in a very traditional environment, his parents lived a provincial life in New England, they could not afford his education and in fact he dropped out of school soon in order to start working and supporting his family. His mother surely did not work outside home. I think he is the only son, he never mentioned any sibling. His dad gave him the example of masculinity he actually embodies, he served in the world war, he was an hard worker. He was totally out of the cultural movements, so when you talk to him you get the sudden feeling you are talking to a man born in the 10's. In pretty much everything. On the other hand he traveled a lot (especially over America) but he hardly traveled for pleasure, he traveled for working. He developed very good skills in what he does, in fact he became a self-employed fisherman soon and built his own boat (which he calls vessel, for some reason I don't know!). He has a man who helps him, but he does pretty much everything by himself. Lately he developed a little whale oil business and I think he did to save more money as possible si that if he is injuried or wants to stop working he can retire and be fine.
The main reason why I feel confused and asked to "strangers" for their opinions is that, honestly, I think that if I move, and assuming he is not young, I will think about having kids sometime not too late. What if something goes wrong and the kids are born in America with an american father? So yes, I am mad about him now, but I am not so fool to ignore the future.
