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."
