[quote=Anonymous]My mom's best friend is a woman in her 50s who was married to a man who died a year or two ago in his 90s. (The husband was a longtime friend of our family; we knew his first wife as well before she died.) We initially thought it was a marriage of, essentially, convenience--he brought her here from Thailand, although not through any kind of unsavory arrangement--they met through his daughter-in-law. But, they were devoted to each other and I don't think my mom's friend would have traded that time with him for anything, even though it meant that she was a caregiver for the last several years of his life and that she's widowed now while still a relatively young woman.

I'm in my early 40s and the closest thing that I've ever met to a soulmate for myself is a man who is in his early 60s. We're a little star crossed and I doubt we'll ever be together, but if it ever became possible, there's no way I'd turn it down just because of the age difference. Sometimes, the strength of a connection and emotional compatibility is so strong that you just don't care if it won't be forever. That being said, if I were younger and looking at still having children or something, I'd look at it differently.[/quote]
