Dealing With The Relatives For Cougars And Cubs
Cougars and Cubs is an online dating site through which older women can meet and date younger men in Canada and vice versa, a concept that is not new at all but that has recently been in the public light tanks to TV series and reality shows focusing on this dating trend. I don't frown upon this at all, but I have always wondered how they handle the disapproval of friends and family.
I'm not saying this happens all the time, but what if your parents don't like the idea of having a daughter in law that's as old, or older, than them?
Navigating the family situation can get real messy, not just with your parents, but with your cougar's past. If she has any children, chances are they may be in your age range; and what about ex-husbands? All this drama can add lots of stress, tension and friction to both cougars and cubs; so unless you agree on having a casual, no strings attached relationship, you should really talk this over and make sure you are on the same track or have a game plan for dealing with the relatives.
