Mrs Guitar is 21 years younger than me. We've never found it to be of any great significance, having been together 14 years.
How old are you/ A friend is 12 years younger than her husband. Been happy for 30 years, but when he retired and she had years of work ahead, resentment began to surface. Now she's coming up to retirement and wants to go on adventures, and he's late 70s and not interested, she's very unhappy. When your wife is 60 and still full of life, travel or whatever, you'll be 81 and wanting to stay in and watch Countdown.

Mrs M's father remarried a much younger woman after a divorce, they were very happy. He died a couple of years ago and after nursing him in his last year or so now lives alone in the middle of nowhere, very very lonely and maybe another 30 years to get through alone.When your wife is 60 and still full of life, travel or whatever, you'll be 81 and wanting to stay in and watch Countdown.

I suspect Paulguitar started this thread re the news of Buzz Aldrin's wife dying a few days ago at the age of 66.
They married just under 3 yrs ago.
Buzz will be 96 in less than 3 months time.
A girl I briefly dated was the result of her dads second marriage. He was about 20ish years older than her mum. And he died (of age related illness) when she was in her 20s, which was obviously hard
Her step brother and step sister were also 20ish years older than her. And as a result she didn't really have much to do with them past her early years as they moved out and had families of their own.
She was nice enough (until she dumped me
) But she did have a habit of dressing like someone older than the 35 she was.
