Discussion Husbands younger than wives
OP: January 06, 2011, 08:57:28 AM
The last thing I would ever want to do it offend anyone here, so if I do, just punch me in the nose!
I seem to have noticed a trend and I haven't seen brought up although it may have.
Seems like a disproportional amount of women here are older than there MLC husbands.
Has it been brought up, is it relevant?

I am 8 years older than my H, even though I don't look it. It had never been a problem until MLC hit. I know a lot of MLCers are obsessed with youth and  fears of growing old. May be it could be a trigger when they are trying to stay young. My Hs OW is the same age as him, but he has in fact gone for a younger woman, when comparing her to me.

This had actually crossed my mind a lot, very interesting.

I'm three years older....  and yes, my MLCer is terrified of age and aging....  I remember when he turned 30 he found it horrible; he gets headaches and tries to ignore birthdays; has a real fear of them -- he turned 45 last year and the first thing he said was that he couldn't even say "early 40s" any more.  It's a major issue for him.

I searched and found the national average for wives being old than husbands is 12.12%.
I just wonder if some of these men where trying to replace their mothers or something like that
when they got married. How many are or where monogamous to their mothers?
