[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]A little different, but my 31 year old son is engaged to a 23 year old.  She was 19 when they started dating.  Freshman in college. She is more mature than he is in many ways. Her parents were initially really concerned.  They adore him now. [/quote]
I'd be more concerned about their long term marriage if your 31 yr old is immature and engaged.[/quote]

I didn’t say he was immature.  He is college professor and Captain in the National Guard.  He is a combat vet X3.  Very smart.  Very successful.  But definitely ADHD.  She has the maturity of someone well over her age.  Sometimes age really is just a number. [/quote]

I don’t think this age difference is a big deal.  I met my husband at 21, he was 30.  We’ve been married 15 yrs.  I’d be more concerned with combat vet + ADHD combination.  Pretty sure ADHD diagnosis makes you medically ineligible to serve as an officer as well.  He must not seek treatment, another red flag.  [/quote]

You can have ADHD and serve in the military. My dad is a retired General.  He most definitely has ADHD.  You cannot be taking medication, but you can be in therapy.  He actually managed it really well. [/quote]
