Re: AGE IN A RELATIONSHIP
Thank You joab1! This kind of feedback is exactly what I am looking for! !
I am happy to hear you are still together! It takes a strong couple to make a relationship like this work I think. Congratulations on your long term marriage!

AGE IN A RELATIONSHIP
All I can say is, Kate and I have been together 37 years. I am 74 - she is 58. She was 22 when we met. We have two marvelous sons; one is 31, the other just 19. Our eldest son is married and buying a home. Our youngest goes to Comm. Coll. full-time and also is Asst. Manager of a food market chain. We lost a third son . . . but such is life. Do things change over the years? Of course they do, and consideration must be paid to those changes, or else all the years that went before are rendered invalid. To me, a relationship is like a edifice that one constructs. Once it's finished and occupied, there is always maintenance and upkeep, or else the house will self-destruct piece by piece. Such a waste. Such a pity. Like unfinished conversations we wish we had held, the realization comes too late. joab

Re: Sedona, a very interesting post this.
That's what i'm thinking....her maturity level I imagine had a lot to do with it. The guy i'm seeing is 10 almost 11 years older than me. Everything seems to run smoothly between us, then again, I'm 44 years old, I'm pretty much where I want to be in life. And I do find that at my age, 50's and 60's do NOT seem old to me.
Thank you for giving me some feedback on this! I'd like to write something, but I need more opinions on this subject so I can do it objectively!
Thanks again!

Sedona, a very interesting post this.
One of my closest friends married a man who is 27 years older than her and in doing so she learnt what it is to be judged by people. They married 17 years ago and they are still very happy. Some people in her life never got over this and would never speak to her husband. In this case there were other prejudices, they were different nationalities. Yes sometimes she has mentioned that they have different interests but she always says it with a smile. So I think it can work. My friend was closer to 30 when she married so she had an opportunity to think more about what she wanted from life. It is unfortunate perhaps that your friend could not see her choices. It sounds like she might have chosen differently. Easy to say afterwards of course.
