I'm truly worried about my brother-in-law. He is a good person and I'm afraid he is going to get his heart broken. He had a good girlfriend that was around his age but he let her go when this 28 year old girl came knocking on his door. She has a son that is friends with my brother-in-laws son. She found out he had money so she nearly threw herself on him and he is fell for it. She's got him to where he isn't even thinking straight...buying her expensive gifts, etc. She is still married but going through a divorce. I think right now he's in it for the sex and the "trophy" status. I don't even know if they have anything in common. I am afriad that he will fall in love and she will leave when she gets bored with a man that's 14 yrs older because she is so fiesty and seems to be the kind not to be satisfied long. He has been through one divorce and I was the one he called to get counseling (All the time!) and I don't want to go through with this again. Can this last? Opinions

it's lust and infatuation, not love. She is apparently playing the field if she is not divorced. Not a good or safe idea for the B/I/L. He needs to think on his own, you have done what you can.

Nothing you can..I know it's like watching a train wreck, but if you advise him, he's going to take your concerns as a personal attack on many different levels.
The only thing you can do, is make him aware of the fact that a newly single guy should not rebound from one long term into another. The best way is to get him out alone, perhaps at a good singles bar where he can meet and greet someone else, hopefully that will stave off his flames for the mercenary chick that is hot on his tail.

The relationships normally do not determine since the couple are at distinct facets of their lifestyles. The more youthful girl nonetheless desire to get together and feature amusing, even as the older male needs a house lifestyles. I have revel in this with an older guy. Plus, its like 2 distinct generations, however it's feasible to see frequently. The ladies deep down within are watching for protection, however they desire their cake and to consume it to. They romanticize the connection within the starting and while its no longer what they notion, they get a divorce.

normally i don't think that you can put an age limit on love. my cousin is 23 and she's marrying a man of 52 and they are soooo in love its inspiring! but when a woman goes for an older guy for money its shallow. try to spend time with this golddigger to find a way to sort out this situation. good luck!

I am afraid that you will have to counsel him and probably put him up when he loses everything. It sounds to me that when he has giving her everything he can, she will then take her leave. Men can be stupid.
