younger man

[mandyc66]

just wondered how you felt about women going out with/marrying younger men.
Do you think it can work?

[pixiefish]

of course. you know what they say- you're as young as the man you feel

[helsi]

yes it can and i FEEL THAT ANYONE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BE WIOTH ANYONE AS LONG AS NBOTH ARE CONSENTING.

Why did I start shouting then? sorry.

[Caligula]

God yes.

In fact, I'm living in hope!

[mandyc66]

I think age is just a number..do you agree?

[mandyc66]

no confession.
Am happily married!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Caligula]

To a younger man?

I know someone whose mother was 10 years older than her father, and then when they got divorced, found herself a lover who was about 12 years younger than herself (with whom she has been living/ married for 30 years now).

This person is now happily married with two DS's, to a man 10 years younger than her. Following in Mummy's footsteps.

[chicagomum]

my dh's best friend is married to a woman 12 years older than him (and he's immature for his age) yet they seem to be happy so i guess its the people rather than the age

[mandyc66]

my dh is younger yes.
he is my second hubby other was older. We seem to have more in common and get on well. He copes well with my children and we have 2 of our own!!!

[teeavee]

yes please! - younger, richer, more considerate....etc etc etc

[mandyc66]

not richer I am afraid!!! but EVERYthing else is better!!

[turnupthebass]

Hope so Mandy - DW 10 years older than me and we got married in February!!

seriously though - yes! why not?

coincidentally DW's ex was older than her too.

[mandyc66]

I am sure it will be great for years to come!
He is 11 years younger well 11 and a half actually!!! the only time i think about the age gap is when we talk about tv programmes from the past!!!!!! He was at school whilst I was married first time!!!!

[turnupthebass]

erm - yes I was too! when DW was married first I mean!

had a conversation like tha the other day about Saturday morning TV, but itwa sthe other way round! I remembered Champion the Wonder Horse (repeats I presume!) and she never saw it!

seriously though I dont think age comes into it - we are both so happy now having come through allsorts to get here - but we're here and together and yes its all wonderful!!

[mandyc66]

can I ask how old you are?

Do you worry that she will be too old for you one day.
Maybe I will be too old to notice if he thinks I am too old!!!! does that make sense?!!!!

[Cristina7]

DH is 5.5 years younger than me. We've been married for 11 years. It works for us!

[turnupthebass]

31. 
    

and we've been together a while. DW mentions that from time to time - when you're X I'll be X+10 kind of thing.

but no - she'll never be too old.

how about you - if you don't mind me asking?

[mandyc66]

cool!!!
We have been married 2yrs next month! I'm glad I started this thread. just wondered what people thought. I sometimes wonder if people think he is out with his mum..he looks young for his age!!!

[Janh]

The 2 of you look and seem around the same age though, tutb

(That's not to say you are old before your time btw! Just that you make a lovely couple, creep creep.)

[mandyc66]

you obviously have seen him or know him?!

[turnupthebass]

Cheers Jan!!

[turnupthebass]

mandy does he know you think he looks young?

[mandyc66]

yes!!!
Used to tease him before we got together!!
I dont look old though!!!!!

[gaelsgirl]

younger man sounds good to me, any going spare?

[mandyc66]

hands off!!!!
