I think I did some cradle robbing....lol.  We have been together 15 years and my H is 8 years younger than me, although all his friends we have known throughout our marriage are my age so it really never bothered me until now when age was used as a weapon against me.  I do know that he never thought of it as an issue and when we met and he told me his real age I laughed and told him I was way too old for him.  He told me to give a young guy a chance and I did.

Mine is one year younger than me. Doubt with small age gap it has anything to do with mother figure. If you’re talking 10 or more years of age gap maybe but not necessarily.

H's mom uses our age gap as a mother figure thing.  I know I certainly never treated my kids in the manner I treated my H though  ;) ;)

Hey Mr. R.....

I was in Choo Choo a couple of weeks ago and thought of you too!

You should have called, I would have loved to cook your family a nice meal.

Hugs,

Tsu

RY,

It's interesting you brought this up.  I have noticed this "phenomena" for some time on this board and wondered about it.  Thought it seemed unusual, too.

I still find it interesting how many MLC husbands are younger than the LBS wives. The past thread I had done a little checking as far as statistics and in our situations the % was WAY above
average. I don't know what to make of it, but I find it interesting.
Maybe subconsciously these men where looking for a mother figure?

First, does it follow then, that mlc wives that are younger than the husbands are looking for a father figure? 

Second, your statistics comprise mlc husbands/wives on this board not ALL mlcers.

I think the data might be meaningless.  My h is a little younger but I was really immature ;D ;D ;D
