[quote=Anonymous]I had an apartment and was getting my MA, and my husband (16 years diff) was renting and working.  I didn't need him; I chose him.  There was a long line of guys before who would have loved to marry me (was engaged once and proposed to many times before, and in serious relationships - just didn't find the right one for me yet), and some of them were doctors, military (high up and successful) career men my age, etc.  I hated dating younger guys and guys my own age; they were like whipped puppy dogs.  I think there is a sense of security in women dating an older man... which let's be honest, if you are dating young or old, no matter, you want that as a woman (at least, I do!).  A sensible, secure, and trusting relationship.  Love is friendship+actions, not just emotions.  Too many marriages break up because they are based on naïve rules or expectations placed by nosy people who should be minding their own business and give advice that has no basis for other people's decisions... if I marry older, it's my life and my choice to be happy for the few years I have here with my husband, and I would much rather do that, than be in an unhappy marriage, divorced, or single, because of what other people say is the "golden key" or "what I should do" in my own life, in relation to years apart from one another in marriage.[/quote]
