[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he has a good career and no first family (no ex wife, no kids), and there isn’t some employee/boss dynamic going on, then I don’t think it’s terrible.  [/quote]
It will be much more challenging in 20 years.[/quote]

We have a 10 year age difference.  I ended up with the health issues.  You never know the future.  [/quote]
Yours is the exception, not the rule.  That is how statistics works.[/quote]

Probably not.  We've been married for 24 years.[/quote]

Wait till he’s late 70s and you are mid 60s

I’m the PP who described my negative experience. Of course there are couples where it worked. But there is an extensive research that shows large age gaps relationships are less stable

I see from OPs post there is already a potential point of contempt: her daughter has a trust, her partner has to work AND he’s older. Money and sets from trusts are typically considered separate property. It could make transition to syncing their retirement easier, or to the opposite, complicate things. My exH retired at 56; I still work at 45 and we had very different preferences how to spend holidays, for example. All his friends were much older and I spent most of Christmases with very old executive retirees or his work colleagues (60-70 years olds). He would become combative when I suggested to alternate years. I feel like a lot of my young years were wasted on superficial people and things and people who were basic strangers and are no longer in my life post divorce. Despite my exH connections, he wouldn’t help with my own professional growth as he didn’t want me to be too absent from family duties [/quote]

Your're not understainding that I am the one with serious health issues and my husband has stuck with me.  He will be working later as we have kids who are teens.  Stop making it about you and your relationship.  Not everyone is you.[/quote]

No, I’m not even arguing with you - just describing my real life experience. You are trying to argue statistics here. Of course on average men live less, and get sick more often than women. Go visit why retirement community after age 65, you’ll see it’s female- dominated in numbers  there [/quote]
