Fast reply.. OK, weighing in. I had never heard of the term "Cougar" until a few months ago. Geoff and I had stopped by my nephews work and the guy that he works with told my nephew that his aunt had stopped by, and why didn't he tell him that his aunt was a cougar and hot at that! I said, what the heck is a cougar? First time I heard it. Well, I am 51 now, and the last sub I had before Geoff was 18 (I was 47 at the time). I never felt awkward or uncomfortable going out with him. He was in my collar for almost 4 years. He is now going on 22 years old and none the worse for having known and loved me. Geoff is 21 and I am 51 and frankly I could care less what other people think of us. Yes, we get the usual "Oh my God!" and worse the "It's nice of you to help your grandmother out". Course the last statement, I leaned close to the woman who had no business saying anything to begin with and I whispered "He is my lover." and at her shocked expression, I continued "But it's OK, we live in the south, it is legal here." With that I walked away. Geoff stood at the counter while the woman tried to express how sorry she was and how embarrassed she was for saying anything. He just put his hand up and said "Don't worry about it, I don't." My point of this story, is that so many people think it is OK to just make remarks about other people's relationships. They have no idea what kind it is, but it doesn't bother them to just blurt out how "awful" it is that someone my age could be with someone Geoff's age. But like I said, I personally don't care what people think. Two years ago, I lost most of my sight. I was also told last year that I have 2-5 years to live. Do you think I want to waste my time here on this earth being miserable? No. I don't. I want to live my life on my terms with the person I want to be with. Life is way to short to worry about what is "appropriate" and what isn't. I do what I want. If Geoff is OK with it and he loves me for who I am, what difference does it make to either of us what other people think? They can form their opinions and keep them to themselves. I would no more say anything to a couple like me and Geoff, than I would about someone's handicap. It is none of my business. Period. I see these threads all the time, most of the time I stay out of them, because I just don't see the need to respond. But this thread hit me, because of the word "Appropriate". What is appropriate? Inappropriate? I don't know, and I don't care. My ex-husband and I would sit in silence for days, not really saying anything to each other. We would walk around the house like two strangers. Two very polite strangers. I hated it. I hated my life with him and I hated how old he made me feel. A good night for us, was to share a movie on TV together. Without saying a word, one of us would get up and go to bed. I was sad all the time and I was untouched, unloved and invisible. I had my own bedroom and I spent a good amount of time in it. People asks me what Geoff and I have in common, what do we find to talk about? Well, he has re-introduced me to metal music. I used to love it when I was younger and for some reason (Gotten older?) I stopped listening to it. I love Mushroomhead! Music is a passion for both of us and I love it when he gets his guitar out and strums and sings to me. We spend hours just talking about music, politics, sports, religion and most any other topic. Hours will fly past as we talk about day to day stuff and never get tired of talking. We play together, we take bubble baths together and we have friends over for a good poker game. We go out and sing and enjoy being alive! Isn't this the most important part of living? To be with someone who allows you to be yourself and to express that individuality through the gift of music and life? Like I said, life is way to short, correction, MY life is way to short to waste it on what other people think is appropriate or not. Am I a cougar? I don't know. Am I a woman in love? You bet I am. Am I ashamed of my love for my younger man? Absolutely not. If his parents can accept me in their son's life, then to hell with what other people accept or don't accept. Thanks for reading this. It took me about an hour to type it. MoGa
