My personal opinion is: The man is making a big mistake. He is going to mess up a young ladies life just to satify his personal needs or wants. It may not be right away But later on when the new wears off, you will begin to see what I mean. If you are any kind of man man at all, you would let this girl go and give her the chance to enjoy the finer things in life. Later she will will respect you more and you will respect yourself more. As its going now, everybody will lose their respect. Your kids, the young lady, the families involved. just everybody in general. Do the right thing Man, and step to the side. Its really not worth it.

That's quite an age gap. I don't think that it's a good idea because honestly, what does a 21 year old have in common with a 52 year old man? When I was 27 I dated a man who was 42 and that didn't work out. At first I thought it could work, but there was just way too many differences between us. I needed someone younger who I had more things in common and he needed someone who was more on his level. If I were you I would not marry him. Do you want to be taking care of him when he really gets up there in age and you are in your prime? I highly doubt it. I have this sinking feeling that the reason why you are considering marrying him is because he has money. Kind of like an Anna Nicole thing, right? Just be careful.

No he set up home with her when she was only 16.... he is taking advantage of her vulnerability.... he looks like her grandad.... not right at all, how would people feel if that was a 52 year old woman & she married a 18 year old boy.... too much of an age difference & the fact that he was with her when she was only 16 makes him like a paedophile.. if she was over 25 & had some life experience the age difference would be ok as she would be an adult but for me what makes me sick about the story is she was 16 when he was with her...I cannot imagine myself when I was 16 dating a 52 year old man...eeeww

does sound like an unusually large age gap. They'd have to have a lot in common, in terms of interests and attitudes, to make up for it. Anyway, at 21 she's a bit young to be marrying anyone, let alone a man that old.

It's your choice but know that he will get old quicker than you will, he will probably develop some kind of old age-related illness, and you will wear out long before you are supposed to. My wife is 8 1/2 yrs my senior and sheis already getting "old". She can't hike with me anymore, can't ski, can't stay up late and dance at sunrise , and many more things she used to do with me. i love her dearly but the minor age difference has created some stress that i couldn't foresee and i have had to give up some things to find other activities i can enjoy with her, which i accept as i know she would if i were the elder.
She is 56 and i am 48

Love or money, both seems reasonable.
Plus, a 52 year old man offers more comfort than a 21 year old man, since he has a fatherly atmosphere around him.

Too great an age difference. She probably symbolizes youth to him, thinks that makes him young again. Actually probably makes him look silly. He's probably more of a father figure to her, offering security. I can't imagine a either staying content for long with that much of a gap, However, I suppose anything is possible. Good luck

My God girl, you will still be a young woman and he will be an old guy unable to even keep up with you! Find someone who is closer to your own age....and by the way, you are still a bit young for marriage....get an education and experience a bit of life before tying yourself to a man.

I'm 53 and I couldn't imagine a 21 year old girl able to communicate intelligently enough to interest me. I don't care what she looks like, if she's as annoying as most 21 year old girls are, I couldn't stand to be around her long enough to develop a sexual interest.

Whatever makes you happy. I know a girl that married her husband when she was 25 and he was 50 and they are still married. I think weirder things have happened. I would hope that it would be a marriage of love and commitment not of convenience though.
