for many many years and read your books, and thank you

for taking my call. Well, thank you, and you're welcome. What's happening?

So, just a little bit of background. I'm 68, soon to be 69. I've been dating a woman who is

69 as well for six years, and I've been thinking about asking her to marry me.

Now, I'm a widower.

My wife passed away seven years ago, and she's been divorced for many years.

We both have children, but they're out of the house, and they're all fine.

You've been dating her for more years than you were married?

No, no, I was married for...

Oh, six years. I thought you said eight.

Okay, six years.

Okay, so one year after your wife died, you guys started a relationship,

and it has stayed a non-marital relationship because...

Well, because, you know... stayed a non-marital relationship because?

Well, because, you know, well, I think maybe was just too soon for me to get married.

You know, I just need a little time as well as so I'm a sailor.

I've sailed all my life.
