[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Older woman here.
I knew a woman who married a man with about the same spring-fall age divide.
When he started to get older and sicker, well into his 60s and beyond, she was PISSED off and angry.
She wasn't crazy about retiring into the boonies 2 hours upstate NY for him.  She still has at least a decade of active professional life in front of her.

But he wasn't crazy about having another kid (20 year age difference between his first child from first marriage).  I am friends with that first child which is how I can see this panning out.

Lucky OP, he got a young nurse.  Unlucky her, she's with an old man.[/quote]

Eek yeah this is hard to watch. Those relationships seem to be pretty fine when you’re both between the 30 and 55 range, but once the man hits his late 50’s/early 60’s there is massive resentment. 58 year old men are ready to slow down and relax, less excited about going out and being social / active all the time…and early 40’s women feel like they’re in the prime of their lives, feeling resentful to be held back by grumpy old fogies. This is playing out among multiple families in our neighborhood / country club and it’s pretty much the same exact story in each case [/quote]

This is a generalization I’ve found to be untrue. I know a 59 year old with two kids under 10 and he’s definitely still coaching their sports teams, skiing with them, running a business and pursuing his own hobbies.  Couple seems to have about a 15 year age. I’m sure you can find all kinds of anecdotes but ultimately every situation is different.

When my dad was 59 he had elementary aged grandkids to ski with. [/quote]

That’s a little too young to have elementary grandchildren. [/quote]
