More of the scoop, the whole scoop, and nothing but the scoop!

(Posted by Ron & Gayle)

We were recently interviewed by the relentlessly awesome Dixie Feldman who writes a blog for WETV.Com.  We’ll be sharing the interview in its entirety over the next few weeks.  Enjoy!

Any red flags she should look out for?

Gayle: Maturity, maturity, maturity.  It’s never a great idea to try a long term relationship with someone who is immature for his age.  If you are 30 and he is 50, let’s hope you aren’t compatible just because he never grew up and acts much younger than he really is.  A bad boy might be fun for a few nights, but seriously you won’t enjoy it when his buddies or golf game are more important than you.  As for those younger men, well I’d want to know that he was over being “mama’s boy” and that he could support himself with or without me.  Come to think of it those last two items are good rules of thumb no matter what his age!

Ron: She should be aware of why he is divorced, if in fact he is.  Regardless of their ages it’s a good idea to know something about a potential partner’s previous marital history just in case there are some relationship problems that might carry into their life.  Why is he with her?  Is it because he loves her or is it for his ego.  Although it doesn’t seem to be as prevalent as society believes, there are trophy wives.  She doesn’t want to be one.  Does he have financial or addiction problems that will make their relationship difficult, at best?  If she wants a family she should have some idea of his feelings about that before getting into the relationship too deeply.
