[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The one guy I know who was married to a woman almost exactly three years older got divorced after about five or six years and two kids. He is now remarried to a woman 14 years younger. Sort of went from one extreme to another.

WTF?  You think a guy marrying a woman who is only 3 years older is as extreme as a guy marrying a woman 14 years younger?  Misogynist and ageist much?[/quote]

I’m one of the PPs (two years older than DH). This made me think about my mom’s good friend - she married a man who was about 25 years older than her (they were about 25/ 50 marriage). He had kids and didn’t want more. Sadly he died around age 60. A few years later she met a man about 14 years younger than her. (I think they were something like 22 and 36.) They are married with teen-ages kids (she had her kids in late 30s / early 40s). As far as I’m aware each marriage had its up and downs but she was / is happy with both husbands. [/quote]

Marrying a person only 3 years older/younger than you is not extreme.  Hell, you were even in HS at the same time.  Marrying someone who, age wise, is old enough to be your parent is extreme.  Whether the couples were happy together or not has nothing to do with the defining a 3 year age difference as extreme as 14 years. [/quote]
