What to say? Everyone has an opinion. Most of us know that relationships are complex, that over time we change and so does love and that it is hard to keep the spark alive. If you add to the mix a big age gap you are just making it harder to be successful. I married a man 14 years my senior. His age became a problem only 10 year after we got married. I am 44 now and he behaves like a retiree. I am having such a hard time accepting that this is the man I married and that I did not think of the consequences. When I see my friends with husband the same age I realize my mistake. We have the same problems other couples have, but in addition we have this huge age gap. He doesn't want to go out, he's always tired, wants to sleep, no sex, etc. It is normal he feels the way he does, he is 58 after all. the problem is that I am only 44, and a young 44. I would tell my daughter not to marry an older man because eventually the gap becomes too big. Be smart. Think before you make a life commitment you cannot get out of.
