A young-at-heart couple in their 50s are arguing about where
they should set up home. For Mariella Frostrup it proves that
romance has nothing to do with age  The dilemma My fiancé and I
are in our 50s. He's lived in his house for more than 30 years
and isn't thrilled about the idea of leaving it. I don't want to
live there for two main reasons. First, he's had two failed
marriages there. Actually three: his son used to live there with
his wife and they divorced, too. Secondly, I don't really like
the house – the floor plan, yard, location, decor. I bought my
house last year so there's no negative history attached. But
it's quite small and located further away from stores, our jobs,
etc. I think we should both sell and get something together that
is new and ours. But I'm having to persuade him. My mother
thinks I'm being unreasonable expecting him to sell a home he's
lived in for so long. But when I think of living there, I get
the willies. Far too many negative vibes.  Mariella replies So
there is life after
