No judgement- but a friend's situation made me reevaluate larger age gaps.

Paulina left Ric Ocasek when he got too old. This might be you in 20 years.

Even Melanie is having an affair with a security officer of Trump properties. About the same age difference. I’m her age and Trump is older than my dad. Gross.

At 33- I was going to all night clubs in Europe with my 32-year old husband, living life to the hilt. I wouldn’t want an old dude.

Gross. Saggy balls are in your future

Do you just not want to work?

You are young enough to get a guy without baggage.

There is a reason he is divorced.

He may seem wonderful and he may blame the divorce on his wife.

2nd marriages have a 65-70% chance of divorce and you are starting with step kids.

33 is young. Find a guy that’s never been married.

33 to 50 is a major age gap. As someone already posted you need to think about it in ten and twenty years. When you are 43 and he is 63, then 53 and he is 73...that's a major age difference.

To be candid, he could be your father with that age gap. I'd be careful. Right now it may not seem bad since it's only 50, but when men get older their health normally deteriorates quicker. Are you ready for that?

You should contact the guy that recently started a thread and is looking for someone exactly like you.

Or she might be dead and he is onto the next one. Nothing is certain regarding age / illness / accidents.

He's 17 years older, not 20. Unless he's aging faster than her.

I'm 35 he's 50. Sometimes his age comes out and it feels like he talks to me like I'm his child instead of partner. We are working on that.


I haven't met his kids. The kids are 10/15, and if anything I find it better that they're "older" kids.
