I've been living with a 42yr. old man (I'm 52) for 3yrs. and am engaged since Christmas. My boyfriend is a very loving, giving, affectionate person and we feel very comfortable with each other and for the most part have a lot of fun with each other. We are able to talk about anything with each other. My problem is that about 3 months ago my fiance hooked up with a young (mid 20's) male friend whom I, at first liked, and now is spending all his free time after work with him hanging out (working on their bikes, etc.) and coming home quite late. Needless to say we have had some heated fights over this. All of a sudden he started this past week staying over and claiming that he fell asleep (also, of course they are drinking while hanging out). Now, one week later after having a huge fight which sent him packing and to his friends house he claims that he thinks we should end the relationship because he says we don't have anything in common except that he does love me. Needless to say, I'm devastated and feeling very desperate to save this relationship. I need help!! What should I do before it is too late and he gets suck in.

It sounds like he is going through a mid-life crisis.

A 52 year old hanging out with a 20 year old, working on bikes, staying out drinking, etc.

Yea, those are all the signs of a mid-life crisis. Talk to him, and possibly even talk to a relationship professional for help since you want to salvage this.

If you really want to make this work, and stay with him, then you will probably have to go through some funky stuff with him till he comes out the other side of his crisis.

Best of luck.

Seems like he's just not ready for a relationship. Hanging with a 20 y.o. to regain his youth, and putting you off on hold. If he said he thinks you should end the relationship, maybe you should, it might be doing you a favor. Find a man that puts you first.
