[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]DH and I are 13 years apart. We have been together, and very happy, for over 20 years. Our age difference has never been an issue aside from my occasional annoyance with boomer nonsense the past few years. But that is a cultural difference -- a generation one -- not an age one. They aren't exactly the same thing.

We are both very attractive and met at work as we are both lawyers -- if that is "equal footing" for you, whatever that means. [/quote]

She has a large trust fund (and good start to her career) while he is a successful attorney. I mentioned the equal footing because I think some people assume a younger woman is after money and that is not the dynamic here [/quote]

Maybe since she has a large trust fund and a promising career, she's afraid to date men her age because she worries they like her for money rather than for the right reasons. To her, a 38 year old law partner has enough of his own money and career success that she believes he likes her for reasons other than money.  [/quote]

The question is why the dude is dating a 24 yo while he can date early 30s successful women. I think the relationship might work but OPs daughter needs to look out for some red flags. And she’s still too young to be concerned about not finding a good fit among younger men [/quote]
Older men like this want someone who will eventually be a care taker.  [/quote]

No one at age 38 is thinking about a caretaker. [/quote]
