[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a sense of “why” he was single at 38? Divorce or kids? [/quote]

Never married, no children, has had serious girlfriends [/quote]
I met my DH when he was 36 (I was 30).  We got married when he was 39.  Never married, no kids, but has had ltr live in gf.  Just because a man hasn't been married by 38 doesn't mean there's something wrong with him. He never thought marriage was important, until we got together, and I told him that it was important to me. His previous gf didn't care about getting married,either.

We've been married for 20+ years.

As to the age difference... I have always been more attracted to older more mature men, but now that we are in our 50s/60, I'm finding the age difference much more noticeable.  He is still healthy and has always looked young, but age catches up to us all in terms of looks and physicality.  He is now retired; I'm still working. IMO, that difference is going to be the big sticking point as you age.

Also, what about children?  Even if she has a kid at 28, he will be what.. 42?  She will be a young mom, and he will be an old dad, like DH is.  We have a 16 and 19 yr old, and he's 60. While that isn't an issue for us since  I'm 54, that might be an issue for the wife when she's still a pretty young 46 yr old, and her DH is 60.

I don't think most young women can fathom what this will look like in 20 years.[/quote]
