Today’s topic: I’m in love with a cougar Good morning Steve and Shirley, Let me get to it. I met this woman on an internet Website, who turned out to be 22 years my senior — she’s 46. I didn’t have a problem with the age. She is a beautiful woman and she taught me a lot of sexual things. The thing is, she is a cougar. At first I didn’t have a problem with it because I looked at the fact that I could have my cake and eat it too, thinking I could date other women. However, that was a no-go for her. She could talk to other men, but if I looked at a woman on TV or anything she would get angry with me and belittle me. She and I have been on-and-off for a few years. Now she’s moved on to a new young thing, but, the thing is, I love her. Do you think I should try and make it work with her after she told me I was just a sex thing? She told me I was just a fantasy she had of having sex with a 20-year-old, but we’ve been together for four years and I take care of her and I was even being called granddad by her grandkids. What should I do? Steve, give me some advice on this woman.
