There is another side to Anthony Bourdain death that we should take into account. He had a much younger lover, its a well known and sadly a fact that older men with younger lovers take the relationship much more seriously than most younger people. Older man understand that this is perhaps there last chance and often put there whole heart and soul into the relationship holding back nothing, its as if they are trying to take as much from the few years left they have as they can.
A younger woman may not think this way, she still sees she has many years left and the possibility of so many other adventures so may not see the relationship in the same way as the older man. So can leave much easier and feel less .
I have once heard the pain that older men with younger lovers described as " the pain of puppy love at over 60 and no sign of any hope."
That pain is enough to push many older men over the edge.
" No fool like an old fool" is a very cruel saying that only adds to the pain.
