younger man

[mandyc66]

just wondered how you felt about women going out with/marrying younger men.
Do you think it can work?

aRE YOU OKAY? Sorry caps were on.

me?
I am fine ...why?

night night young lovers!!!!
time I went to bed. unfortunately hubby is at work so its bed alone for now.
hope to carry this on in the morning!!!

dw age 41

MORNING!!!
oops didnt mean to shout it!!!
A couple of people have asked how old my eldest is refering to my hubby!!!!!

My mother had my brothers when she was 18. Fast forward 17 years and one of my brothers' friends (P.) has a mad crush on her. She's not foolish enough to pursue it... but fast forward another 20 years, my mother is now divorced and P. comes back into my mother's life. P. & my mom had a mad happy fling for a year or so. Not sure I could fancy P. myself!! But I'm happy that he boosted my mom's self-esteem for a while.

My husband is 6.5 years younger than I am. We're pretty happy, have a lovely daughter and another baby on the way. So, yes, it can work.

Well its working for me and obviously I arnt the only one!!!

Hi Mandy, I'm tutb's dw, there is 10 and 1/2 years between us and there was 12 years the other way between me and my fisrt h.

I think that I see more problems than him - I do say "when it's my 70th birthday, you'll be 59",

My biggest problem with the age gap is that at the moment, I'm 42, he is 31 and so are most of his freinds, they have girlfriends/wives who are in their mid/early twenties and I feel so out of place with them. Doesn't help that most of them are stick insect size and I'm a 14/16.

How old are you and your dh?

I am 39 and Dh just 28.
I think approaching 40 is making me feel a bit odd!! He isnt even 30!!!

I think women see problems that are not there! If they wanted a 20 year old stick insect they would be with one wouldnt they?!
We are going to one of his friends weddings next month and I am desperate to loose weight!! Do I sit with his friends or his friends parents!!! only joking!!!

do you ever worry that your dh will look at you and think that you look old today? or that other men will make comments? or that after menopause, he might start fancying younger women?

sorry to be so nosy albeit anonymously, dont answer if you dont want to.

I am currently single, coincidentally, my dx was 19 yrs older than me.

No, I am completely and smugly secure in dh's feelings.

If he was going for looks he wouldn't be with me in the first place tho'!!

Have been accused of riding for a fall in the past when I have said things like that.

ditto!! Secure really,just have days when I wonder what does he see in me!!!

fishing for compliments again there lilibet?

so tutb are our female in securities just in our heads?

Probably!

I'd say if you're both happy then enjoy being happy. I find the insecurities a bit strange and always do my best to show them to be unnecessary and false.

The age gap has never really been something I've dwelled on - and as Janh pointed out we look the same age anyway!!!

ok. I will go to bed now. knowing when he sayss I am sexy and gorgeous he really means it!!!

My Mum's husband is about 15 years younger - they get on well and are very happy. Have a relative whose partner (for must be many years now) was in the same class as her son in school.
They are all still together, so just shows i suppose.

that would be strange step sone and step father in same class!!!!
