Bad advice

My friend did. Her husband died of cancer. Now she is a "young widow" and will be the sole parent to college-aged boys.

Some young women will still try to get your husband attention for fun. Totally jealousy and ego boost. Men who see younger still notice the even younger ones. Ask me how I know.

They still can cheat on you, and be terrible partners. But hey if he has money you can upkeep your looks.

Now I dream of marrying a younger man so bad.

Or just marry somebody the same age - that's what I did.

Then you have to have sex with an old man when you're still young. Nope.

That’s just the weight of desire!

Statistically speaking the marriages that last are those when partners are within five years of each other's age.

This is something that some younger women think. It seems fun to be the pampered young thing. I think most women who go for this end up regretting it. Things change as you get older. You realize that it really is not great to be 45 and have a 60-year-old spouse.

As you get older, there is no real advantage to being younger (your husband will not care, you're just his wife and he'll continue to notice other women), and you will only see the disadvantages of having an old husband. When you're 25, being with a 45-year-old seems OK. When you're 50 and you have a 70 year-old husband, you'll see things very differently. I have a few friends in this situation and I feel really sorry for them. It's nice to be with someone in the same stage of life!

Or marry for love and trust your gut about whether he'll continue to cherish you and be a good partner as you both age. DH has aged well but he's always prioritized eating healthy, exercising, and rarely drinking. I don't see him cheating because he likes being married and likes money and knows I'd leave him.

I’m literally in this situation and divorcing for this reason seems dumb at this stage. But yes the age gap sucks later on. No matter how much they take care of themselves.

My friend (we are in our early 30s) is dating an older man (mid-40s) and let me tell you, there is a reason that man is 44 and has never been married lmfao.

If no one your age wants you, why do you think a younger woman will want you.

Then you’re stuck taking care of a decrepit Peepaw when you’re still relatively young. Nah.

It seems to be sadly lol. My 58 years old friend just married his 32 years old fiance last week. I think men do get away marrying younger women.

So if he were once married and have kids, would he then be acceptable lol? I thought it was about the age that's an issue lol.

You we are not allowed to say the same thing about women the same age who are u married and childless lmao

My wife is 40 and I am 55. She already has 3 chronic health conditions and drinks a lot of alcohol. I look younger compared to her despite being 15 years older. Women today do not necessarily engage in the healthiest of behavior. Sure you can have your skin routine on point, never miss your therapist appointment. However if you eat crap, drink several glasses of alcohol a week with the girls, your much older husband who engage in a healthier lifestyle will be the one making you look old instead.
