Yes...interesting thread even if it's ancient 
Mine is 18 years older than me. I'm not sure how it happened but I am very happy and so is he. I do wonder sometimes in my more insecure moments if it's just the thrill of having someone younger, and I don't have to be that great or that pretty because he's just pleased to have a younger bird. Maybe...well, it works though. But he would hate me to think that.
I know people don't approve. My parents were 
about it but now my mother is all for it, she knows I'm properly happy for the first time and that is all she needs to know.
Dad is still a bit wonky about it.
I haven't told many people about the age thing because there will be gossip, and there is already disapproval, but really, they can get stuffed. It's nothing to do with them. It makes me sad though how people can judge, without even having met him. I'd not leave him for their sake, not in a million years. This is our family.
Regarding children we're aware there's not much time to get cracking. I already have two, but we want to have another. Not sure if we will encounter problems as not been trying for long.
And if we can't have any more that's Ok. We'll just stick with the ones we've got
