YANBU.

Gobshites should've minded their own business. Well done on your comment.

FabulousBakerGirl · 26/05/2009 18:02

Of course it has hurt him.

Tell him to take no notice. They clearly have no class.

LisaD1 · 26/05/2009 18:07

OMG! Cheeky witches! What the hell has it got to do with them, or anyone for that matter, what age gap there is? I can't believe how damn rude people can be.

Hope your DP is ok...

simplesusan · 26/05/2009 18:07

HecatesTwopenceworth · 26/05/2009 18:08

Or you could have said, "that might be how it is in your house, love, but I work for my money."

mrsboogie · 26/05/2009 18:26

oh f*cking hell that is so rude!

Heated · 26/05/2009 18:36

snide comments like that are rooted in jealousy - assume you are a babe/dh a hunk

How awful I think that these horrid old bats need to learn to keep their comments to themselves. There is an age gap between me and dh too though not a huge one and once we were out shopping a couple of ladies approached DH not me specifically to ask 'if I was his wife' and 'how old I was' I can't believe he actually answered them I would have not been so polite and was out of ear shot when the asking actually happened.

leonifay · 27/05/2009 10:15

my dh comes from a wealthy family, and had quite a bit of money his self when we married i was in a lot of debt, we married less than a year after we first met - we were in love (still are!)
any way this prompted a lot of gold digging comments from people who i thought were friends and even family. i really hurt both of us.
we had talked about the debts and decided we would both work and pay them off that way. the money he had saved wouldnt be used to pay them off it would be used for a house, kids, etc. i'm pleased to say all debt has now been payed off but by hard work not by savings

people can be cruel because they think only there opinion matters. only you and your dp know the full picture, everyone else can go f* themselves

leonifay · 27/05/2009 10:16

it it really hurt both of us not i!

Gorionine · 27/05/2009 10:23

How rude! The sad thing is, this type of prejudiced people (not sure the word actually exist) will always find something to be rude about. They would have found anything to comment on!

Ignore the idiots! they are really not worthy of one second of yours or your Dh's time!

lovelyboy · 27/05/2009 10:34

Cheeky bunch of cows!

YANBU How nasty. There is a 16 year age gap between DH and I so far we've only had stupid comments have been about the fast that he had more money and how fast we married.
And the odd When they realize he is almost the same age as my parents.
I usually reply I'm hoping that I will get a discount at the nursing home I plan to dump them in.

sleepyeyes · 27/05/2009 19:18

My second sentence should have read: So far the only stupid comments we've had is about the fact he had more money than me...

Back to school with me.

Gorionine · 27/05/2009 19:52

Are you really young enough to go back to school sleepyeyes? Tut tut
