No i don't have a daddy thing, i have a father. This is my second marriage and it seems the older he gets the grouchier he gets. Tells me what I can and cannot do. Forget any signs of affection, especially in public. To me it seems like i was his midlife crisis and now it's wore off. Yes I love him very much so. I was just curious if anyone else had this problem that's all.

my dad died about 5 years ago. He was 73 my mom was 50. By the end she was his nurse ( literally). The one piece of advice that she gave me was to never marry some one so much older than myself.

Older men, "heaven or hell"?
Well.................I was 19 when my husband and I met and he was 28,so he is 9 years older than me and the 13th of next month will be 15 years we have been married.
My husbands mother is 26 years older than her husband.
My mother in-law had 5 kids 3 boys 2 girls and everyone of them are in their mid to late 40's or early 50's and the step dad's age is about 45 and he can't be no more to them than just a friend because everyones ages are pretty close together.

I have a friend,her partner is 48 an she is 24 years old.They love each other,sometimes fighting, but that is normal for them.Many countries have the tradition of marriage young women with older men.Some women like to live,have sex,and marriage with older men.If they love one another is okay.In your case If you love him,I think nothing is wrong about that.Good Luck. As a woman you have the power to become the hell in heaven,because you are younger, you have the power over him.This is 100% true.

That depends. Some parts of the world and religion it doesn't matter. It bothers me as much as I might like to myself. But, I am not a good candidate for any relationship at this point. If you are of legal age and it is a legal marriage it's not anyones business. If I was healthy and well off I would consider it also.My second wife was 8 years younger. She left me for someone 8 years younger than her. Life's too short to worry about age differences. It's not the age but the quality of the relationship.

Look age is just a number. If you love your husband for who he really is everything will be fine. There are lots of couples where the husband is older than his wife. Really it is no big deal, only if you make it a big deal. Whatever you do remember the reason you married this man. Probably because he is a good man, has a good heart, and he really knows how to respect a lady. You will be fine.

My man is 16 years older then me (30 and 46) and at first I thought it was Heaven. Now, after the new has worn off, I believe it is hell. You have to mess with all their past "crap" like ex-wifes, children, etc., etc., I think that it would have been easier starting out with someone my own age.

My wife was 19 and I was 40 when we married. She was pursuing me and I thought she just wanted an older man to rock her world in bed and gain some experience. But after a lengthy courtship she convinced me she truely was in love and we married and started a family together and all is wonderful. She says age is onlya number and she finds me the most attractive and sexy man she has ever met.

Wow - 23 yrs. is a lot but there's nothing wrong with that. As long as you are both happy, more power to you.
I used to date men who were 10-20 yrs. older then me when I was in my early twenties, then I met my hubby and married him!
I'm 28 now and he's 36 so we've got an 8yr. difference. I wouldn't have it any other way!!!
Enjoy your marriage and your hubster!!!! :)

I love it. My husband is 9 years older than I am. He is more financially where I want him to be, he is the same track mind as I am. He has a good plan for the future. And he already knows he's not allowed to die till I am ready to go with him! ; )
I like it. Sometimes it has its downs, he's been there done that, but a good man understands you havent and will allow you to venture where you havent gotten to.

my soon to be husband is 24 years older then me. we are the best of friends. he has never been jealous and has never told me what to do. How long have ya'll been together. maybe he is stressed out. try talking to him and see if he even know how he is acting. If he doesn't change. I would just leave you are too young to put up with that sh1t
