Dear Prudence,
I’m dating a 50-year-old woman who recently booked a vacation with her girlfriend and lied about it being an “all women” trip. She’s also claimed several parties she’s gone to were “all girl” as well. When she goes out, she refuses to stay in contact. She says she doesn’t want to be accountable to me. I don’t like being left out. I’m 60 and have lots of energy. I ask her to go dancing, but she says she doesn’t like the way I dance. She says she can still get younger guys, and it’s my belief that she loves the attention of other men and isn’t ready to commit. She has never been married, never had kids, and never lived with anyone. I’m starting to lose it. I want more. She says she wants more but acts like she doesn’t. I feel like I should be able to handle her, but even writing this I feel like we just have different priorities. Tell me where I can change?
