[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm 45 and my wife is 25. People like to think they know the reason why age gaps like that happen and come up with reasons like "he is rich" or "he is immature" or "she's a gold digger" or "she is in to power" but it really isn't that simple. In our case I have a good job and I'm able to provide a comfortable life but I'm by no means rich. At this point in my life I know who I am and I'm able to take care of what needs taking care of. When I was younger (20s - 30s) I was still figuring out how things work. I think that my wife appreciates the fact that I'm confident and capable more so than my money. We see it on DCUM all the time. The wives always say they wish they had an "alpha." Older men are more patient, confident and capable simply because they have had more life experience. That can be appealing to women. This is only one of the facets of why these relationships may happen to work. Just figured I'd add some perspective.

Nevertheless, odds are high she will be cheating on you w/i the next 5 to 10 years.  You will be riding over the hump of the aging curve during that period; some guys age a lot worse than others--and you won't know which is you until you get there.

Meanwhile, your wife is heading into her most sexually horny years as a woman in her 30's and 40's.

But you sound smart enough to have already figured that all out and made your peace with it.[/quote]
