Exactly. Interesting they all seem to magically come out of the wood work whenever there's a mumsnet thread on this topic!
It's a natural consequence of subject. Nobody in the other boards will be posting about the age gap be due it isn't relevant on those threads.
Also, I've yet to encounter a woman in a big age gap relationship with a man much older (I'm not talking about small age gaps which are nornal), who didnt have daddy issues or an abusive past or was with him for money or was very gullible and naive for her age (or a combination of these).
Good god. You really do share that opinion that women with older partners are lacking intelligence, don't you?
'Daddy issues' 'abusive past' 'gullible and naive'
Hilarious. I'm not gullible. DH didn't shower me with promises and pray on my naivety! We had met each other several times over the course of a few years, eventually we were both single and decided to give it a go. We are married, homeowners, with grown up and preteen DC. Our relationship has been relatively boring if anything. I don't mean he doesn't 'do it' for me, I mean there is no drama, no arguing, none of the crap people put up with from their partners in the relationship boards. We are just a normal, boring family. Don't assume my idiocy because my partner happens to be older than me. He has never treated me in the way that many women are every day. He is a good and respectful man, and always has been. Maybe that's what I fell for, his normality.
Naturally, a lot of these women would say they're happy since they don't know any better or their sense of normal is skewed.
That's really dismissive and quite rude. You have made some rather nasty judgements followed by a wee caveat that of course those who say otherwise don't know what normal is.
Go take a look on the relationship boards. Ask everyone their ages and that if their partner. There are hundreds of woman with a skewed sense of 'normal' who are with partners the very same age as them.
