younger woman with older man

[joelnwil]

From another perspective. I married a woman 13 years younger than myself. When I was in my 20's there were not many liberated women. There were a lot of women who "just wanted a man to take care of them", but who wants one of those? I finally found one in the younger set. We have been together for 33 years, so I guess it worked.

Since I am older, now pushing 70, much of my financial planning has assumed that I would die first. Now it turns out that she has cancer, and while after some courses of chemo, the cancer is now in remission, she is far from being cured.

Anyway, things do not always turn out as anticipated, so make the best of it while you can.
