[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow.  I'm your husband's age (early 50's) and no way am I that "old".

You sound as though you are talking about a difficult elderly dad.  [/quote]

I'm PP @8:35 and no, it's not "difficult elderly dad" - it's insecure controlling asshole.  He could very easily be her age and pull the same shit.  What you see with these age differentials, is that oftentimes these controlling assholes (and there are plenty of women among them - see the guy in the "My Wife Hates Me" thread") choose inexperienced (younger) partners who don't recognize and call them out on their BS (or their real peers just won't have anything to do with them), and aren't equipped to stand up to it.

I'm an older (mid-40s) guy with a brand new younger DW (mid-30s) and our first child (both of us) ever, and I'm as (or more) youthful than DW.  We also both have learned from our pasts being with abusive|user controlling people to not put up with BS from each other (and neither of us is really insecure and controlling).  [/quote]

Totally agree.

I will admit I usually see big age difference couples and think "gross" cause I think there's usually a power dynamic at play- particularly the older men, younger woman dynamic seems like a beacon to men with power complexes.

However, there are plenty of lovely couples with an age difference that I have zero issue with.  Relationships with mutual respect that just happen to have been born many years apart.  Those relationships are fine.

Unfortunately for OP, sounds like she is in the "power dynamic" relationship.  And, accordingly, she is the one without the power.

It sucks, cause a lot of women have been lured into these types of relationships, promised the world, when they were too young to realize what was happening.  OP is certainly not the only one. [/quote]
