[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the purpose of this?[/quote]

Fun. And curiosity.

DH just turned forty and had a physical today. I'm 6 years younger and never thought that was a big difference, but after hearing about his physical and his colonoscopy consultation, I'm thinking it seems like a big gap in our current ages.

DH's parents are 8 years apart and mine are 7 (DHs are older). So it made me wonder [b]if other people marry with similar age differences as their parents[/b]. [/quote]

Absolutely not!! My father is 10 years older than my mother, and often treated her like a child. As I went on in life, I also came to feel that men's presumptions of entitlement to younger, prettier women were bogus.

My DH is about a year older than I. We are almost alone among our acquaintances, most of whom have 4 or 5 year differences between partners... but always in the husband's favor. Pisses me off, actually. I joke that if my DH and I met today, I'd be considered too old for him at 39 to his 40. He'd be expected to find someone OP's age! [/quote]
