Which is what is happening with a friend from work.

She's a very young 21, at Uni, likes to drink, party, mess around and have lots of relationships. She works 6 hours a week at a cafe.

He's a mature 40, owns his own houses and runs his brothers very successful electronics business. He has never had a long term relationship.

AIBU to think its a bit odd for an older guy to be wanting a relationship with such a younger woman?

NOTE: I would never interfere and am not saying they SHOULDN'T date, just that I find it uncomfortable for some reason. I am asking what people think not for a lecture on whether I should be judging Grin

I quite liked Robin's Nest when I was little. Grin

Yes, Sparkling. She was on Strictly last year.

Sparklingbrook · 05/04/2016 11:51

That's her! Can't think of her name Page. Don't want to google I am determined to remember it.

PageStillNotFound404 · 05/04/2016 11:52

I can remember her name without googling but I'll give you some thinking time. Just yell if you need a clue.

Kellie Bright?!

PageStillNotFound404 · 05/04/2016 11:54

Indeed!

Sparklingbrook · 05/04/2016 11:54

Yay!

PageStillNotFound404 · 05/04/2016 11:54

I used to like Ever Decreasing Circles.

Sparklingbrook · 05/04/2016 11:55

Ooh I remember that Page, and there was a sit com about a funeral parlour 'In Loving Memory'.

And the one with two warring neighbours, Never The Twain?

PageStillNotFound404 · 05/04/2016 11:58

Never The Twain had Thingy out of It Ain't Half Hot Mum, didn't it? Thingy. It will come back to me

MitzyLeFrouf · 05/04/2016 11:59

Yes, the one with the booming voice!

Sparklingbrook · 05/04/2016 12:00

YY I remember that too Mitzy. I must have spent my whole early childhood sat in front of the TV. Confused
George and Mildred, Some mothers, Sorry. I seem to know them all. i must speak to my parents and ask why. I am sure ITV wasn't allowed.

I'm 20 years older than my wife. We've been married for 8 years and have an 18-month-old daughter. Added to the age difference, we come from very different cultural and religious backgrounds, she's black, I'm white, and just in case the phrase 'trophy wife' has sprung to mind, she's a doctor and earns a whole lot more than I do. On paper should our relationship have even begun, let alone work, especially given that she likes Celine Dione? I really couldn't care less, nor could my wife. We're really happy.

It's bad form to resurrect an old thread like this. Biscuit
