she 24 and he's 56-a widow.pros and cons?

Question

his courting this young lady. He got a 6-yr old kid. Can be? What do you think would be their life together?

Answer 1

Great for the guy. The ladies in for the money. Hope the guy's got a prenup.

Answer 2

There are situations that people get into at 24 that can be dealt with by a 56 year old in a manner where everybody comes out fine, but would not have, had the 56 yr old not entered the picture. The are astute 24 yr olds who recognize that the 56 yr old was very good for her. She inturn causes the 56 yr old to feel as if he's done something very nice, and she makes him feel in his 30's. This is a win win situation. It doesn't matter at this point what is not, it only matters that these two have a respect, and a willingness to try. They may blossom into something out of a storybook. It may not work out for other reasons, but a friendship like this could easily last a life time. Their time together could be just delicious. We all should aplaud them.

Answer 3

This is a hard call to make. On the chronological age surface we have a generation gap between the man and the woman and the child could be the grand child of the man.

If we look at the psychological age we may have a 30 year old man and a 30 year old woman and a child who doesn't worry about age at this time.

The woman, if we look at average life spans will be middle aged when he passes away. The son will probably be about 25 years old.

Their life together probably won't be as long as some other couples who are closer to the same age, but it might be happier and better because the other couples may get a divorce within a year or two.

Answer 4

I like to say that age doesn't matter since I happen to be a few years older than my guy, and we're very much in love. But when someone is old enough to be the other person's mother/father, then that seems to be going too far. In the end, I suppose it's up to both individuals if they think they'll work well as a couple.

Answer 5

Miserable in a few years. All of his aches and pains will start interfering in your life. He may get ill, then you would be obligated to care for him for the rest of his life. He has no business taking a young girl's life away from her. He is being selfish, and I would bet that he is just feeding his ego. If he really loved her, he would let her go, just like an ex of mine did. He did not want me to miserable. He knew that he was getting older and that he would not be able to do the things I wanted. He wanted me to be able to have children with someone younger. (He was 42, and I was 20.) I genuinely respect him and love him for that. It hurt at first, but I now know what he meant. I've seen him, and he is very ill. His children are taking care of him now, as it should be.

Answer 6

I have an aunt who married a man just seven years younger than her mother. He treated her like a queen and they were happy for many years.

That being said. 32 year age difference is a huge difference. imho. I'm sure she is very flattered. I have an older friend who married a widower 12 years her senior. today at 70 plus she says she was really stupid to marry him. Although they are still married and their relationship is committed to one another. She says she was very flattered at 18 to be courted by this older man. who had two children already.

Answer 7

I'm in a relationship just like her. I have a grand kids at 27. I love it and wouldn't change it for the world. They have been through alot and can give you the attention that you need. The con is that they aren't going to be around as long as you would like them to. I'm getting ready to get married.

Answer 8

I think it is good because man mature later life.Nobody knows but the two people as long as the love and respect each other. You need to get a life and mind your own business.

Answer 9

so many cons than just pros..

- he would like her father.
- he probably is at the end of his sex life.. she is peaking it.
- emotionally they are different levels, he is extremely matured and sobered down.. she will be active and fiesty.
- he will be looking to retire she is lookin to pursue a career
- he may not have a very long life span.. she has a potentially longer life

Answer 10

Dirty old man was my first thought ... but I guess it's acceptable. Their life would be whatever it is he was looking for ... does he want a wife or someone to literally take care of him ... and the 6 yr. old. Is he just using her?
