[QUOTE="Hound dog, post: 488985, member: 84"] PG husband was 16 yrs my senior. When we met I was 19 and he was 35. I didn't date much before husband. I did date some but over all wasn't hugely interested. Even when I met husband I wasn't hugely interested. He was my cousin's Army recruiter and new found Hero that I just had to meet or my cousin would drive me insane as he'd been doing for months. There was no real spark that first time. I mean I was impressed with husband's manners, his honesty, and many other things and we hit it off on a friendly relationship for a long while. Casual. Then one night my bro and his fiance wanted to double date........and wanted me to come along only I didn't want to go alone as it would feel awkward. So I called up husband and asked if he wanted to keep me company. (I was even dating someone else at the time that wasn't a class A winner by a long shot) By the end of that first "date" I was head over heels and knew I'd marry and spend the rest of my life with him. Which I did. But we got a LOT of the same type reaction you had both at the beginning and over the years. husband and I honestly had a lot in common both in interest and how we thought, and what we didn't have in common seemed to compliment each other so it worked out well. Age was never for a moment a factor in our relationship, which if truth be told most people still don't understand. It wasn't something we ever thought about. And our relationship was pretty normal all through the marriage with the normal ups and downs. Some 28 yrs later my mom would still like to believe husband cast some "spell" over me. :rofl: My family still doesn't "get it". My mom always says, "But he's not even your type.......not even CLOSE to your type." She was right, he wasn't. The night I asked him to join me on that double date I had no intention of finding love or romance, I wasn't looking for it. It just happened. I hope this is a loving healthy relationship for them both, whether it lasts or not. [/QUOTE]
