I’m 62 and don’t believe I else date an 82 year old. I’m done care taking. |
This is wise. My 90 year old grandfather's current wife is 70; they married when he was in his early 70s and she was in her early 50s. She (somehow) feels blindsided by the vast gap in health/ability now that he's declining. She still wants to be an "active senior" and is frustrated. Watching all that unfold, I'd never date someone more than 10 years older than me, but honestly would feel better with 5 or less. |
As my mother would say, 50 is 30 if he’s rich |
I haven't read all comments but can share personal eperience of 15 yr age difference. Met my DH when I was in late 20s, never married before and no kids. He was divorced with almost adult kids. He totally love bombed me and made me feel amazing like no man my own age did. Fast forward to life now...
He's controlling AF and treats me like he knows best. Therapist told me this isn't uncommon with large age difference because younger women tend to be more passive/easier to dominate. He's also very immature which I now see is the reason we first got along great. I grew up, but he was already grown up. The generation difference wasnt a big deal at first but over time got harder to relate. Different music, references, jokes, etc. Not saying this is how all large age diff relationships will go but don't ignore the red flags. Don't wait till you have kids involved like I do and it's much harder to cut ties. |
Pp. One more thing...keep in mind lots of men get ED as they age. I was early 30s when my DH started having issues. Have spent most of my 30s with no sex. |
He wants a live in nurse. I would only proceed if he is extremely wealthy. Like Jeff Bezos wealth. |
What is your net worth ? |
Friend left her marriage for active 50 year old at the gym. After covid locked everything down he got fat and is inactive and claims he's too old to do the things they used to do |
No one's eyeing the 40-something guy with the huge beer gut for his looks. Stop it. |
