[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 483433, member: 84"] Maybe it's because husband was 16 yrs my senior, but I wouldn't be too concerned with the age difference. I know many people see it and don't quite get it. Until husband I really never gave a thought to older men......and when I met him his age was just something I never really thought about. From what he told me, it was pretty much the same for him. We had lots in common and it just happened to click with us. It's possible your daughter is so infatuated with this new man that her world revolves around him at the moment. Or it could be she's afraid of your reaction to the situation and doesn't want to hear it. I'd try to keep communication light and up beat and avoid discussing the new man in her life for the moment. Then see what happens. My family didn't react to husband well when I met him, when I married him, and still never understood for the 28 yrs we were together. But the fact is sometimes between 2 people, age truly doesn't matter at all. I think it's too early to tell what the situation actually is just based on some texts and her not wanting to see you. Not saying I wouldn't be concerned, just saying I don't think I'd be overly emotional about it at this point. Watchful yes. Hugs [/QUOTE]
