[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's not too old.  Rule of thumb is half the older partner's age plus 7 years.  58/2 = 29.  29 + 7 = 36.  It's fine. It's kind of May-December, but it's; fine. If you like the guy, go for it.  He's probably counting his lucky stars that you're interested. [/quote]

Who made this rule?[/quote]
some desperate man?

If you are not looking for anything serious, then why not? Have some fun. But if you want something serious, you definitely need to think long and hard about what kind of future you envision for yourself. You don't want kids to take care of, but you'll end up taking care of an old man.

My DH is 58; I'm 53.  We are starting to have some health issues. Also, retirement is going to be an issue. He wants to retire at 62. He can fund his health insurance privately for 3 years until medicare kicks in. I'd have to either continue working while he's retired (mismatch life goals), or pay for private insurance for a good 8 years before I qualify for medicare.[/quote]
