Nick, 64 For the past two years we’ve been meeting up once a month, but I want moreA couple of years ago I was in the pub with a friend, several pints deep, and he asked whether I’d ever had a “great love”. I was 62, and had been married for 30 years – but it didn’t occur to me to say my wife. I knew immediately that the love of my life was Lily, a woman who had left me broken-hearted in my 20s.

Rory, 53 Even just yesterday, I was curled up with her in the afterglow and I felt total blissIn September, I was diagnosed with cancer, and in January I found out I only have months to live. I’ve lost a lot of weight, but physically I still feel relatively normal – which is a relief, but also confusing.

Monica, 33 If anything, my affairs enrich our relationship. I feel more confident and sexy, and I bring that energy homeSince we met 11 years ago, Gracie has been making a running joke about opening up our relationship. She’s always said, “At some point, I want you to go out and sleep with other women. I’ll be at home waiting for you, sipping a cocktail.” I think she started making that joke because she was hyper-aware of our age gap. We got together when I was 22 and she was 33.
