Depends upon why you think it's worth mentioning. If it's because you think that an older man shouldn't be with a younger pretty woman then I think you are being unreasonable.

There is nothing wrong with relationships that cross the age divide. Maybe you just wish you had a nice young thing too?

Or were rich ?

I was just wondering. There is no problem with age differences (my sis has a much younger hubby and they are great) but don't tell me you never see such a couple and think - is it love? Maybe I am just cynical. I worked with a lady who said that she married for money... then realised it wasn't enough money (and was looking for more).

I married for love and have now realised it's not enough
My aunty always said when loves dies/goes out the window there's always the nice house/car/clothes/gym membership/holidays/private school to keep your chin up.
Plus if you do have to divorce them at least you get a decent settlement.

I hope my children marry for love ..... but to a rich man.
