We have been married for 18 years, known each other for 20.

Good for you (not being sarcastic).

There is truly no reason to begrudge another women for being with an older man unless you've got some insecurity or jealousy. Those are the real reasons why some women get on their high horses about this. Just be honest about that and stop acting like you are acting in the name of some higher purpose.[/quote]

No, in some cases, the women who advise against this do so because they have BTDT or had a friend/relative who did and saw the downside.  Their experience is just as valid as the people like PP who have had positive experiences.

The point is that there are risks and potential issues (just like dating a man who is divorced with children from another marriage or dating a man who is significantly younger or having a long-distance relationship).  People ask advice about these things because they want to get perspective.  So some people highlight the upsides and say things worked out.  Others have had more negative experiences and point out the potential downsides.

Ultimately, I think most people who come here for advice on relationships aren't really swayed by what they read.  They'll cherry pick the posts that kind of say what they want to hear (or what decision they were already leaning toward) and do what they were going to do anyway.[/quote]
