Hope it isn't your niece. Or nephew.

At 64 I wouldn't know what to talk about and I am sure our music would differ.

I was not going to get involved in this thread, but I will. Only my opinion ................

I truly believe that the younger woman is attracted to the established older male because he is established in a career with a good income, is sophisticated, can handle himself in just about any situation and has the means to show the young female a completely different life than a young man can. As for actually marrying the older male .... well that is a very different ball game. You are signing up to be his caretaker for the rest of your life and that has happened in our own circle of friends.

Me, I met my otherhalf when I was just 18 and he was 21. We grew up together and had fun doing it, and now we are aging together and enjoying that too! My sister met her husband when she was 42 and very established in her career - he was ten years younger, and they too had a great life together, she joked that the was her toy boy ........ unfortunately she must have worn him out because he passed rather early.

So, to each their own .......... or whatever rocks your boat.

Congrats to you and your other half............you traveled thru many challengers growing up together.

I have a friend who met someone with her same birthday of May 31 at the dog park. She is thirteen years older than him and they also got married on May 31. They seem to be doing well. I have known her since January of 2007. Longer than I have been on Talk of the Villages.

That is one of the nicest things I’ve ever read. What a gift to feel like that after the years pass.

I know what you speak of, I feel the same way but could never express it like you did.

The man is thinking with his pecker while the much younger woman is of course thinking of money and security.

Florida law requires that the widow be allowed to remain in the house even if she is not on the deed. So the heirs will have to wait and wait and wait until she finally moves out, either by head or by feet. We had a friend whose 20 yr younger girlfriend refused to move in with him unless he married her, promised her all of his pension, promised to buy her a fancy new car every six months, to leave the house for her to sell so she could pass the proceeds to her two sons from a previous marriage. In turn, she would take care of him, and his own daughters would get nothing.

I hope he didn't allow that to happen.....
