Chronologically, I'm three months older. Emotionally, I never got past 10th grade....
 
He was 6 almost 7 years older than me. We ran in the same crowd of people in a small town. Amazing how many intricacies of relationships there were and still are. Actually quite funny, I’ve tried to explain to my kids but it sounds very confusing and suspicious once I get to the third or fourth person.
 
I tend to date women about half my age, how that works I have no idea!
I'm ugly and broke! Do women really like men who can cook and don't
like sports THAT much? Fortunately, none have snagged me yet. and the
minute they put me in the "friend zone" I head toward the "end zone."
 
My Hunny is 21 1/2 years older than I am. I started dating him when I was 26 and less then a month turned 27, while he was 48. I'll say he is the absolute LOVE of my life. I couldn't imagine life without him. I'm now 50 and he just turned 72. Life has changed a lot over the years I will admit, but I knew what I may have to deal with down the road. That's life. You take care of the ones you love.

Just to add in I am still 9 years older than his oldest.

For the :oops: I got, it's ok. Understand completely. You do not know me on a personal level. It reminds me of a grocery shopping trip Hunny and I took before I started working there. Hunny and I were just doing our normal being playful. Had a woman on a cart that stopped us on an isle, just to say how much she enjoyed watching our interactions and could tell how much we loved each other. That was the biggest compliment ever! You also should know my upbringing with a handicapped Mom. By age 4 I was helping to put on her back brace and shoes. I took care of Granny, my MIL in her final days too. I didn't go into this relationship blindly at all.

The heart is not bound by age
It loves what it loves

A simple poem remembered from years ago

Love gives naught but itself
And takes naught but from itself
Love possesses naught
Nor would love be possessed
Love is sufficient unto love

I have always liked that poem
A girl wrote it on a grocery sack in red lipstick
Burnt the edges and gave it to me
It hung on my wall for a few years
