Marriages in which the husband is 10-15 years older

[Anonymous]

I’ve got daddy issues. Growing up I had a rocky and distant relationship with my dad. I’ve never been close to him. This resulted in me feeling attracted to older men when it comes to relationships. I want a man who is kind of like a father figure, very caring and dotes on me. I don’t seem to find that in men who are slightly older than me. I just wanted to know if anyone is in a relationship where their man is 10-15 years older and whether you feel he’s a father figure and treats you like a princess? How would you compare it with your previous relationships with men who are say for example, 1-5 years older?

How is the OP a troll? Many women with daddy issues have these concerns and it’s very valid.

My very long-term girlfriend is 11 years younger than me. It works very well for us (52/41yo). I dote on her and she dotes on me.

Interesting. When i was in college, 90% of the women I boned/dated were well over 15 years my senior. My parents divorced when I was 6, but I had a step mom early on and up until now. My current wife is 8 years my junior.

OP- get counseling. You're going to waste your youth dating old men who want nothing more than your body.

LOL... as opposed to wasting your youth dating young men who also want nothing more than your body?

An older man is more likely to want (and be ready for) commitment than a younger one.

because there have been numerous "older man looking for younger women to date" threads , and the whole "daddy issues" comes up a lot.

What about 6 to 9 years, OP? Is that considered "daddy" issues or not?

Here's how it ends... you'll be a caregiver to your elderly husband and then a widow for 30 years.

I prefer he’s a decade older. I just want someone to replace and give me that care that I never had whilst growing up. I view older men as emotionally stable.

I don't think 10 is that bad. But 15+, then yea, you're looking at caregiver territory in the future.

It gets old (no pun intended!) fast. They tend to slow down long before you do, which is very frustrating. I still want to go out, have new experiences, socialize, etc and he just wants to watch tv and complain about work/politics/his 401k.

What I wouldn't do for a guy 10 years my junior.....

I’m only considering guys 10-15 years older. Nothing over 15 years, its the max.
