Question: Do you think an established man in his 50s would have a different attitude about love and relationships than a younger man?

My gentleman is 55 (long distance). For over 2 years now we have been communicating regularly.

We met online (non-dating site) and we have met up last year. We spent 10 days together. Texted daily and we talk three times per week.

He initiates every time. I don’t call. Just how I like it.

He is an active duty service man. We get along great, but he’s not “traditionally” romantic but he does other things and as a 45-yr-old woman myself, who’s been married before too, I thInk I know there is more to a good relationship than flowers and sweet nothings.

Do men, In their 50’s have a different, calmer and more controlled approach to expressing romantic or jealous feelings in a relationship?

I messaged him about a funny situation with another man and he ignored it and then later went on to talk about other things. A day and a half later he calls and asks me about the situation. I texted him, then kind of joked about it instead of getting jealous. I thought at first that him ignoring it was either a sIgn he didn’t care or he was bothered but didn’t want to show it. Then when he went back to it on the phone, I thought “Ok it did bother him. He’s been thinking about it and it got the better of him, so he’s asking.” Then he made a joke about it and I went back to thinking, he really doesn’t care.

So if everything else is smooth and business as usual and he is consistent, then maybe I shouldn’t overthink this.

I want to think that he wouldn’t communicate so consistently with me after two years if he didn’t care. Is that likely accurate?

Thank you for your time and input
