[quote=Anonymous]Friends of ours have a 20-year gap. In some ways, I think the bigger issue was that the older partner rushed into marrying a rebound relationship after their previous spouse cheated and ended the first marriage. I think the older partner needed a little more time to regain their footing. Plus, even the adult children from the first marriage don't know about the infidelity, so to them, this new relationship with a much younger person came out of left field and seems much more tawdy and cliche than it really is. Loads of resentment and nastiness. It's really taxed our friends' relationship. I don't know how things will go once the older spouse hits their 60s and 70s. The younger spouse may be totally fed up by that point. Or maybe by then the kids from the first marriage will have succeeded in tearing the marriage apart. Maybe they'll be fine. I hope so.[/quote]
