Sometimes love conquers all, and sometimes it doesn’t.
yo proceed with caution.
“I think like with all dating, it completely depends on the individuals.

We’re on the same page and are equal partners.
Is it probable that I may need to take care of him as we age?
Yeah, it’s statistically likely.
But life is unpredictable, and you never know what will happen.”

“Im 38, and my husband is 54.
His children are all in the military, and blame him for his ex-wifes suicide.
I also helped him when he was in a bad car accident while on the phone with me.
We both almost died, but helped each other through those times.”
“My mother believes in past lives and thinks we somehow had a past life together.

“Im 27 and currently dating a man who is 65.
I asked for his number, and since then, we have hit it off.
He takes me out for dinner, walks me home after work, and makes me smile and happy.
He has such an upbeat, trendy, and young energy (which I am so attracted to).
Things are going well, and Ive never been happier in my life since meeting him.”

“My mom was 26 when she met my dad, and he was 65.
My parents loved each other.
But, my brother’s wife did because my dad helped them financially.
“When I was 30, I started dating a woman who was 46.
She was super hot, but very immature.
The sex was great, but I felt like the adult all the time.
I felt like a parent and was constantly telling her not to do stupid things.
She would end the bars with her 19-year-old daughter, and constantly wind up in bad situations.
Idk it was hell.”

I dated more men my age during that time, and they all ended up being less mature.
I had never given a younger person a chance before, but Im glad that I did.

“My parents have 20 years between them, and the generational differences are their number-one biggest issue.
My dad expected my mom to listen and maintain the house and fit in a box.
He couldnt work, and his whole sense of self crumbled.
My mom stepped up, went to nursing school, and became the ‘breadwinner.’

“My friend’s mom was 28 when she married a man who was 82.
They didn’t think they would be able to get pregnant, but evidentially they could.
Her husband died four years later at 86, leaving her to be a single mom.
Besides that, they had huge issues on both sides.

“My friend is 27 and her boyfriend is over 50 years old.
This is because she is almost like a stepmom, but the age of a friend.”

“I married my husband when I was 22 and he was 44.
His oldest daughter is four years younger than me.
Weve been married nearly 20 years, and my step-kids and I are really close.
I cant have kids, so thats not an issue.
