Quote" One of my regular MLs (in a small shop in the Redcliffe - NL area that I haven't seen discussed here yet) is a very good looking and shapely end-30s lady, and she recently told me that she was living with an 81 years old guy, who pays for the house and her son's education..... must be true love"

No, as you said earlier, that is business.

The days about ppl believing that relationships are all about love are long gone ...todays its transactional ..... in your example each gets what they need. And remember you can still have love in a transactional relationship and just because its transactional doesn't mean its wrong.
