[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As someone in a May-December marriage, I'd point out the obvious which is that age differences mean different things at different stages in life.

At 25, you probably thought nothing of dating a 29yr old.  But would you let your 14yr old daughter date an 18yr old guy?

DH and I are 15yrs apart.  Would have been creepy had I been 15 and he was 30, or if I were his 4yr old child bride when he was 19 it would be sick.  In our 30s and 40s as independent, educated, accomplished professionals though, not a big deal.[/quote]

Replacement model?[/quote]

I'm his second wife.  First marriage ended a decade before we met, so not exactly the replacement in the way that you seem to be implying with that phrase.

I'm always astonished by the nastiness of these threads, especially the crudeness that started on page 3.  These are all things he/I thought of.  Just like we thought of the fact that I come into our marriage with a very high breast cancer risk, and he may need to care for me or even raise our children alone.  There's that whole "better/worse, sickness/health until death do us part" thing that, at least in our marriage, we take seriously.[/quote]
