I’m 25 – He is 59. Thoughts?
Find answers to your legal question.





I’m 25 – He is 59. Thoughts?

I know what you’re thinking, exactly what I would think. Mid-life crisis meets stripper.

I am a lawyer and very independent, financially & otherwise. Most of my friends are much older. We met by chance & I assumed he was in his 40s. He is also successful, divorced, & normally attracted to OLDER women. We clicked.

Fast-forward 2 1/2 years, we are living together & engaged. We are truly happy, one of those sickening couples you want to kill.

We have discussed the extreme age gap & repercussions - a young woman caring for a sick, old man. I am prepared for that. I feel that the love we share now is worth the potential pain in the future.

His loved ones have embraced me & visa-versa (FYI, both my parents have passed on). He is a young 59, has taken care of himself & is a semi-professional athlete.

I have no doubts, but would appreciate constructive criticism or advice.

P.S. Kids are not an issue – I’ve never wanted them & his are adults (but younger than me! lol).
Additional Details
We will definitely be able to afford all the Viagra, if it’s even required. Picasso had children into his 70s and I don’t believe Viagra being around that long.

My parents were alive while we were dating, and like any parent, they were concerned about the age but accepted him based on how happy we are. I have a very good relationship with them but am not looking for a parental replacement. Ironically, all 4 of my grandparents are still living and they provide solid parental guidance.

He is a business exec for a large communications firm and doesn’t plan on retiring until he can physically no longer work.

You are making an issue out of nothing. You both are happy and thats what counts. I wish I was him........ha


I tell it like it is
When you`re 40, he`ll be 74. Thoughts?

Glad kids are not an issue, you would be looking for colleges and assisted living facilities at the same time.

I personally get a little weirded out by that kind of age gap, regardless of whether he's a "young" 59 and in good shape. The guy is "grandpa" age...EEEK. But, to each his own. You are still young and figuring out what you want in a future mate. If this is what turns you on, try him out.

If you want to sleep with the Crypt Keeper, that your business...personally, that is WAY too old for me.

I am 33, my man is 42, nine years is a big enough difference....

That is a HUGE age difference! What does he do for a living? Do you view him more as a father figure?

are you kidding me? he is going to be a senior citizen and you won;t be 35 yet. what are you going to talk about-?
honey find someone younger. my husband is 9 years older than me; we don;t have a thing in common.

Ooooooh Grandpa, yes, yes...........eeeeeeewww!!!
LOL!!!

Okay I am just f-ing around. It sounds like everything is just fine. Why are you questioning it? I think there may be a problem with it in your mind. That you aren't willing to look at.


I'm not being a good wife
Go for it you both are financially stable so you can afford the truck load of Viagra you will need.

I was in a relationship like that too and everyone talked me out of it and I truly loved the guy. I just wished that I would have stayed with him and I would have been a lot happier. Best wishes!

the woman I love is 34 and I'm 54, I hope we can make a go of it. I'm surely going to try. If I only have a few years with her of happiness, it will be better than dying an old man and unhappy dried up old man.

my best wishes for the both of you.

Im 26 he's 42 and happily married with 3 kids. To each their own. Whatever makes you happy is what matters no one else

It doesn't matter how old you both are as long as you both are happy with each other. You will always receive unwanted comments about the age difference but hopefully you will ignore them. I myself am 42 and living with my boyfriend who is 52, (we are both divorced). I wish you lots of happy years together!

Enjoy your life together.

Mid-life crisis would probably be in the 30's-40's so no, that wasn't what I assumed.

I did assume that you were happy together and you seem to be so that's all that counts. Enjoy your life together~

I actually thought Grandpa meets Girl Wants a Father Figure at first. 59 is WAY past midlife, unless he is planning on living to be 120 years old.

Having said that, it sounds as though you are happily together and have a realistic view of the future--meaning that you will have to care for a sick old man in your 40s or even 30s. Best of luck to both of you! Go be happy!


oh_jo123
well i am 25 and my boyfriend/fiancee is 41 and we are completely in love the same sickness love that everyone else would think LOL
I think it is wonderful that you have met someone that you are happy with
in my situation he has 5 children only one grown and I have one son and his grown daughter has 2 daughters so that makes me a granny at 25 LOL I LOVE it though and I LOVE him


payton23
If you are happy that is all that matters. Age is number. People can be a chronological age and a mental/physical age. Just because someone is 59 chronologically doesn't mean anything. If you both click and everything is great then more power to you. Most people aren't lucky enough to find happiness so if you have don't let go. We are all brainwashed to believe certain things are acceptable and unacceptable. Don't let society's expectations stop you from this great relationship. Good luck!!

If it works for you .... go for it. I have known a few couples where this worked out.

I don't think there is any problem as long you are happy.

It makes me think wow my son and I are really close in age. 17 years, and you guys are 34 years. Crazy.

Age is only a number. It is how you both feel on the inside. You sound very happy. Go for it! I wish you the best.


Tired and Cranky
hey, it seems like you have it all figured out so if your just looking for a thumbs up then you got it !!! sounds like a great relationship and you have it all worked out so go for it
