“I left an abusive lazy fiance (I was 21 then) for a man who was 59. I saw he had something of interest to me for sale online. I rode my motorbike 120kms to pick up the item one night. He greeted me at the doorway and I found him very attractive! (A sort of thrashed out Matthew McConaughey)... he was very kind and had a rough charm about him.

He invited me in, we started talking about rock and metal music and all the live concerts he'd seen in his youth, had lots of laughs, we really clicked. Hours later we wound up on the floor of his lounge room in-front of the fire. It was honestly the best night ever...felt like a real wild woman.

Rode home the next day to tell my fiance it was off. Wasn't easy as I knew he'd want revenge and to possibly physically harm me. Long story short I moved in with my much older lover, we had a great time, lived comfortably for about 6 months...he told me he had aggressive stomach cancer.

It was the end of the line for him only 1 month after he found out. He passed away in hospital.

Was it all worth it? Absolutely! Had a short time together but enjoyed every day with him, and I'm glad I was able to put some spark back into the rest of his life he had left.”
