[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A little different, but my 31 year old son is engaged to a 23 year old.  She was 19 when they started dating.  Freshman in college. She is more mature than he is in many ways. Her parents were initially really concerned.  They adore him now. [/quote]
I'd be more concerned about their long term marriage if your 31 yr old is immature and engaged.[/quote]

I didn’t say he was immature.  He is college professor and Captain in the National Guard.  He is a combat vet X3.  Very smart.  Very successful.  But definitely ADHD.  She has the maturity of someone well over her age.  Sometimes age really is just a number. [/quote]

Sure, because she’s 23 now. A mature for her age 23 yo is fine with a less mature for his age 31 yo. I was her. The problem is that by her late 20s she will be WAY more mature than he is and frustrated by his ADHD. BTDT. We are pretty happy 20 yrs out but it was rocky for a while. He’s matured a lot, but honestly, this same woman, if she were 30 now, probably wouldn’t date him.[/quote]
+1 exactly

Wait till the kids come along, and she'll be posting on here about how her DH is a man/child.  Your son's GF is probably mothering him.  Gross.[/quote]

I dont think it's a big deal IF she waits to have kids. I had plenty of girlfriends who married in their early 20s and divorced around 30 without kids. They're now married with kids in better marriages but there was really very little lost in choosing to divorce. [/quote]
