[quote=Anonymous]I'd find out about his dating history from your daughter (And your daughters' friends if you can).

Is he divorced?  Kids?

Is he actually 20 years older? If so, has he dated other students?

If he really gives you a bad vibe, your husband should go out with him and try to play the protective dad. Real creeps seek out victims without activist parents since they are easiest to isolate.

And if he is serious and ok, just older, tell your daughter you'll support her relationship but only after she finishes law school and finds the great job she wanted.  If she's just enamored of his position she'll grow out of it after her internships, etc and being independent.

OH, and I married a prof from my grad school (but I was 28 and well established when we met).  10 years older and quit his job and moved with me to find a job where I was.  We have a kid now and all is working out well.  My family loves him.  But trust your gut -- if he's no good, you should act appropriately. If his only issue is he's a little older than you would have chosen (and in your honest heart they seem to care about one another) then you may just have to suck it up.[/quote]
