Annie's Mailbox®, June 27

by Kathy Mitchell and Marcy Sugar

Dear Annie: "Not Harold and Maude" wanted to hear from readers who are involved with younger men.

My husband is 18 years younger, and we've been married 15 years. My family had a little heartburn over it until they realized our commitment was genuine. My two adult children were skeptical, but came around when they realized he had my best interests at heart. His family members all have ghosts in their own closets and are generally nonjudgmental.

Annie - I read the articel on younger men/older women with interest. At age 24, I fell in love with and then married a woman 10 years older than me. At first, things wokrd out well as we raised a family, built a home and developed our careers together. We had busy lives but would always come home and make dinner together. Evetually however, she became increasingly dissatisfied with me, told me I was "trying to act young", I could do very little right. It seemed like she considered getting older some kind of punishment and I was not getting my fair share. After 20 years we divored and I thought life was over. Eventually, I befriended a woman 20 years my junior. Despite our best efforts we fell in love. She is smart, funny, energetic, pretty. we love dancing together, literature, music, the outdoors, travel, and stupid jokes. At first our familles were scandalized, but have come to appreciate how much we care and love one another. we sometimes make jokes about the age difference but often forget about it altogether. Who knows what will happen in the future? For now we enjoy each and every moment we are together. Isn't that what life and love are really about? Signme - "Age doesn't matter; love does."
