[quote=Anonymous]Last couple of posters bring up excellent points, cautioning young women to look to the future when marrying men who are a decade+ older.

My Mom remarried a man who is 15 years older than she is, she was 40, he was 55. He started to go downhill at around 58, and now she is 60, and caring for a very sick, disabled, cranky 75 year old man who resents her, resents her career (she's scared to retire, because her career is the only thing she has left and it keeps her mind fit and social life active), and treats her as a glorified nurse. She hasn't had sex with him since she was 49 years old, which has been a devastating experience for her.

She won't come right out and say it, but I think she regrets marrying him, and resents that some of the best years of her youth was spent caring for a man and sacrificing her sexual and emotional health for so long. She might as well be 80 years old, the way her life is now. 
It's terrible to watch, and I hope she finds a better and more compatible life partner the next time around. [/quote]
