My H was 46 when he had an online EA. When he turned 47 he then had an online cybersex/PA and later had an EA/PA that lasted for six weeks with a 44 yr old woman. I was 49 at that time.

He was 29, just before his 30th birthday. He had a hard time turning 30 but OW was 31! Go figure.

Gee I almost feel like we're too old for this. (chuckle). My H was 49 when his EA started. Turned PA around when he turned 50. I found out when he was 51. I am 43. She is 37. She wanted to have children. He wanted to escape his. What a pair they would have made! He's definitely MLC, but won't admit, and counsellor told him he is clinically depressed, but won't admit. His MLC seems to have hit about 10 years later than everyone else who replied. We're trying to understand and get thru all this.
