Dear Rhonda:

I was wondering if the age difference was discussed: a 25 year old and a 73 year old fit a grandson-grandfather relationship, not a relationship between two best friends or two lovers.

“I know the old man sees my boyfriend more like a lover“- it is so very, very wrong for an elderly man in this 70s to see a young man (6 years removed from being a teenager), as a lover. It is sickening, isn’t it.

“What should I do? My boyfriend said he’s like a father figure“- he must not have had a good father growing up, or any father at all. Are you living with the 25-year-old? Maybe you should go back to living on your own. If you are already living separately, maybe you should separate from this guy and raise your two children on your own…?
