any women out there with younger bfs? Age difference 18 years?

I'm 39, have dated older women all my life. At 18, dated a 34 yr old

At 25, a 43 yr old, lasted 8 yrs

Now I'm married to a woman 16 yrs my senior

EDIT: Wiseornot has some valid points. When I was 18 with the 34 yr old, it was sex, when I was 25 with the 43 yr old, it was sex and I THOUGHT I was in love and as I said, only lasted 8 yrs before she dumped me after stealing $250k from me.

The one I'm with now I'm married to and she cries sometimes because she feels like she isn't letting me have the life someone my age should have. She is retiring this year, and sometimes I even feel guilty that she isn't going to have someone in her life who is also retired and can spend more quality time together. It isn't fair for either of us, but we love each, not lust (although our intimacy is great), I'm at a different stage in my life at near 40 than I was in my 20's.

Something to consider...

common you gotta realize sooner or latter that you are taking his time away. He is only a baby and is cruel for you not to tell him that. Is true people say age is nothing but a number, but your relationship I bet is more sexual than anything. What would be of him once your appetite goes away? He is only 27, Wouln't you want someone to grow old graceful with? I am not telling you how to run your life but imagine I were with a 27 year old and I was a 45 year old man, even though sounds great there wouldn't be more than money and a house that I could give her. Having kids would be out of the question, since I would be 66 when they would be able to have a drink with me legally. Think about it if you have kids already then you have lived your life let him live his. You have to put your self on his shoes, what he is interested in is sex that is all he see because he is still a young man that fell into the paws of a cougar...............he he kidding but you know what I mean.....Just think about it ok.....................

It rather does not count - The society expects women folk to be gentle and feels that Elder adult men can preserve young women folk to his age. notwithstanding if the two couple on your case as suggested 36 women folk and 23 guy are happy to get right into a protracted lasting relation and ensure the two are comfortable to present themselves around - it rather does not count. the two are happy then no longer something rather concerns - all concerns is the dedication in dating for one greater. And at age 23 for guy each and every little thing seems in his hand and guy has fantasies greater desirable than women folk, so 36 elderly women folk shouldn't look older to you at later point of existence and then u run around back at the back of youthful young human beings later for elegance.

Age does not protect you from love, but love to some extent protects you from age....

Its nothing wrong with it... he may be younger...he is a man... sometimes his "immatureness" compared to your "matureness" may get in the way but that is something you two must work out together if you want longevity in your relationship...

I was with my fiance from his age 23, mine 43 until he was 26 and I was 46. Went well, but I finished it as he became too possessive... He's happy with a young girlie now and has two children, and I have no regrets!

I'm 44 hes 37 been together for over two years... couldn't be happier

holy sh-t, old enough to be momma huh???
