When i was younger.. my mom used to say.. marry an older man .. and you become his darling.. but if you marry someone younger.. you become his slave. I’ve always thought that it was true.. because the older man is supposedly to be more worldly and would take care of the younger wife right..?? But when i was pursued by a old man.. when i was in my twenties.. i stopped and thought about what the future will hold for me… when he is 65 and I am only 40 ..??
I’m in my 40s now .. and still very active.. and want to go for facials.. and massages. .and holidays.. and take up pilates .. and rock climbing.. or even fly a plane if i get a chance. But would my 65 yrs old spouse be able to do as much with me..?? I chose to remain only as friends.. because even though he was established.. had 2 houses in Memphis, Tennessee, I cannot see a future with him. Ironically, I married someone much younger than I and I became the cradle robber.. in our relationship. But you know what .. my mother’s theory was wrong.. because if you asked my in-laws.. they would definitely tell you . .that i’m spoilt in this relationship. It’s awesome.. that I don’t have to carry any heavy grocery bags or strapped my daughter into her car seat.
So .. would you marry an older man..?? what does an older man see in a younger woman.. and vice-versa..?? Does love really conquers all..??
