[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What does she want in the future?  Kids?  The social dynamics are very weird.  Most adults still hang out with adults of roughly the same age.  People will make assumptions about you and most of them are not positive.  Get used to waiters assuming she's out with her dad.

I have a good friend whose parents had a 20+ year age gap.  [b]The parents seemed socially isolated and her mother had to basically stop her life for years to take care of her father.  [/b]

I can see what's in it for you, but I can't see what's in it for your partner...[/quote]

I hate to say it but this is something I would consider strongly before letting myself get too emotionally attached to someone a lot older than I was. I see it with my own grandparents now who only have an 11 year age gap. Is it ALWAYS the case? Of course not, my other set of grandparents are actually older and more spry. But I've also seen a LOT of women be responsible for taking care of older men who seem more prone to being cranky and crotchety as they age than women. Its hard. And makes you feel very old yourself.[/quote]
