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]

100% true. It sure seems like there are a LOT of women in the relationship forum that are unhappy with their own lives and don't like to see anyone else happy in their relationship. [/quote]

Only 1% of the population marries with a 20 year or more age gap. It is not women on this forum who are jealous. It is not common because age gaps where one partner is another generation and old enough to be the father of the other partner, have not worked out for a reason. [/quote]

This is logical fallacy.

The statement

[b]"Only 1% of the population marries with a 20 year or more age gap"[/b]

-- does not support the conclusion that these relationships

[b]"have not worked out for a reason"[/b]

This statistic tells us nothing about the success, or contentment, of the 1% of the population who DID marry with a 20+ year age gap. It only tells us that it is not the norm, which we already know.

You could make a similar argument against gay marriage, or people marrying outside of their race, or cherry-pick any other statistical correlation based on which group you wish to vilify. I guess what is not the norm should be discouraged, or shamed, according to PP. [/quote]

Nice! love it![/quote]
