Married to a much older man

[YoungerMrs]

NC for this so that I can answer truthfully if something might be outing in relation to my other posts.

So, just that, he's 19yrs older than me

grobags i am in that situation, DH is 22 years older than me and terminally ill. We have been together nearly 20 years and when we married, it didn't cross my mind that I may become a carer - I was 21 and in love with him, we had a child together and he was in rude health. But while I worry for the future (and about turning into my gran, who was widowed young and has been on her own for the last 45 years) I would still say I made the right decision marrying him, he makes me so happy.

Italian at the risk of sounding vague, I don't know? I've read posts on here about age gap and many younger OH say that their maturity is compatible with theirs. Yes, he's mature in age - but not always in mind haha. Obviously our friends circle has now blended. Two couples in particular- one couple in their 30's and we spent Xmas with them and him and the other DH are just good buddies and show no diff in age. The other couple in their 50's and we always have a ball with them too. We see them at least once a month and giggle til our sides hurt.
DH and his DC's spend time on the PlayStation and lifted the roof off our home a few times during the World Cup

Gretchen, , love and light to you. My heart is sore reading about this for you. Likewise, I didn't enter our relationship realising that one day I may become a carer and face a loss that I fear so dreadfully- but even if some celestial being was to tell me this now about the future, I absolutely would not regret my decision. I love him.
