Thinking of getting a toyboy - how wrong is this?

I met my XH when I was 20 and we were married for 14 years - we have a dd (11) and ds (7). This relationship started well but seriously affected my self esteem as after a few years together I felt he no longer appreciated me and he never told me I was beautiful. I should have left earlier on tbh. Eventually he traded me in for a younger model.

I haven't really dated since the separation, but am thinking of getting back on the horse...

I get a fair amount of attention from younger men, one in particular who is 23 (I am 36). But I don't know whether I should go for it. What do you think? I am attracted to him and there is definitely chemistry but I'm worried about being judged negatively.

I'm not really looking for anything too serious in a relationship at the moment. E.g. I'm not planning on marriage or more kids or anything!

Anyway what are your thoughts? Do you know anyone who has dealt with a similar situation? How did it turn out? I greatly appreciate any response.

They aren't mine, they're Dan Savage's ! :) honest!

He's a gay american columnist who started off very abrasive and about 20 years on has mellowed a lot. Lot of sense there, as long as you don't mind a very broad minded approach to relationships, which I don't.

Best of luck, sarah!
