Valerie, 45 years<\/em><\/strong><\/span> <\/h5>

\u201cAll my friends would say: \u201cScrew these deep, serious stories and just have fun, you will see.\u201d I could not wait until I could see it for myself, because in my heart, I think I had somewhat written what it should be in advance.\u00a0That was two years ago, so I was 43 years old, and, at a party, it was love at first sight<\/a> with a man...29.\u00a0We dated<\/a> for a month before kissing.\u00a0A month to laugh about, to say: \u201cHow unbelievable it is that such a meeting took place!\u201d and talk, particularly about our age difference.\u00a0Because the cougar trend <\/a>(I hate that word), though fashionable in theory, is quite something else in real life.<\/p>

There is the issue of children<\/a>, for example.\u00a0At the time, my daughters were 7 and 5 years old, I was divorced from their father and I was not thinking at all to have another child.\u00a0At the same time, at 43 years, I did not have many years ahead of me either.\u00a0And at the same time, he was at an age where everything was meant to be constructed, everything was ahead, and it was inconceivable for me to make him give up paternity.<\/p>

I did not assume, I wondered if he would eventually end up blaming me.\u00a0Our story lasted almost a year, and it was out of love that I left him.\u00a0Love for life, love for him.\u00a0It may sound ridiculous but I wanted him to meet a woman with whom he could experience this beautiful moment in life.\u00a0And that is exactly what happened, he just became a father<\/a>.\u00a0Nothing in the world would make me regret this story, nor the fact that I ended it.\u00a0This man has given me so much confidence in love...\u201d<\/p>

Testimony: \u201cI was head over heels, and he was undecided\u201d<\/a>
Testimony: \u201cI left out of pride\u201d<\/a>
Testimony: \u201cMy decision was good for both of us\u201d<\/a>
Psychologist opinion: \u201cIn a relationship, you must prioritise yourself first\u201d<\/a><\/p>
