[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you have a sense of “why” he was single at 38? Divorce or kids? [/quote]

Never married, no children, has had serious girlfriends [/quote]
I met my DH when he was 36 (I was 30).  We got married when he was 39.  Never married, no kids, but has had ltr live in gf.  Just because a man hasn't been married by 38 doesn't mean there's something wrong with him. He never thought marriage was important, until we got together, and I told him that it was important to me. His previous gf didn't care about getting married,either.

We've been married for 20+ years.

As to the age difference... [b]I have always been more attracted to older more mature men, but now that we are in our 50s/60, I'm finding the age difference much more noticeable.  [/b]He is still healthy and has always looked young, but age catches up to us all in terms of looks and physicality.  He is now retired; I'm still working. IMO, that difference is going to be the big sticking point as you age.

Also, what about children?  Even if she has a kid at 28, he will be what.. 42?  She will be a young mom, and he will be an old dad, like DH is.  We have a 16 and 19 yr old, and he's 60. While that isn't an issue for us since  I'm 54, that might be an issue for the wife when she's still a pretty young 46 yr old, and her DH is 60.

I don't think most young women can fathom what this will look like in 20 years.[/quote]
