Speaker 1 (00:26):
Thank you nephew. Subject it's so wild he pulled a hamstring.
Dear Stephen Shirley, I'm forty one years old and my
boyfriend is a sixty three year old, handsome gentleman. He
was married for thirty two years, and I got him
right after the divorce, so I understood when he called
me his ex wife's name. When we first met, I
wanted him to go out and date other women, but
(00:49):
he locked in on me right away. He thought I
wasn't interested in him when I tried to get him
to date a little bit before jumping into another relationship.
When he felt like I was trying to get rid
of him, he went overboard to show me that I
was the one. I started getting expensive gifts, and he
took me on a trip that I've always dreamed about.
(01:09):
He had an outdoor kitchen put on my deck, and
he landscaped my yard. Some things he did were a
bit much, though, like replacing my mattress because other men
had been in my bed. And he started playing tennis
with me, and that's the one thing I could enjoy
by myself. He had a coach and he was taking
lessons until recently when he pulled a hamstring. The doctor
(01:33):
said it was pretty bad and he had to stop
playing and we had to hold off on sex. It's
been almost two weeks since we've had sex, and he's
losing his mind. Every day he asks if I'm all
right and if I need him to do other things
to please me. I keep assuring him that I'm fine,
but he's so worried. I don't want this old man
(01:53):
to feel that kind of pressure. He's laid up now
and limping around, so he's no good to me like that.
It makes me think either he cheated or his ex
wife cheated on him. Because he's so paranoid. How do
I get him to relax and let me get to
know the real him. Please help. Okay, now is a
(02:14):
great time to talk to him because he can't get
around as well. You know, you said he's limping around
and he's laid up, So now's a great time to
talk to him, you know, due to the hamstring thing.
You gotta let him know that he's making it worse
when he's tripping like this. He is twenty plus years
older than you, and at sixty three, he should know
he can't always keep up with everything you're doing. And
(02:35):
that's okay, that is perfectly fine. You obviously like and
appreciate him, but he doesn't get that, and he's trying
to hard. It looks like maybe you guys could make it.
I mean, you guys have a chance to make it.
He seems like a great guy, just a bit paranoid
and possessive and all that. He just needs to calm
down and be himself because that's what you want. He
(02:56):
can't keep up with you all the time, so when
he what he cannot do, though, is starts this insecure thing,
this possessiveness, he is worried. And we all know it's
because he's older. You're twenty years younger. He's afraid. You know,
some young guy is gonna come and scoop you up.
There's no room for his paranoia. But he is scared.
(03:18):
I mean, he doesn't want this younger man to come
in the picture. Let him know, and no uncertain terms
that that's not going to happen. But make sure he's
sitting down and resting and all of that. When you
do that, and he is now, So going in there
and talk to him and let him know.
