I think what I like about 'real men' as opposed to boys is that they know how to treat a woman right. :-)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14965896790567603996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-38695308702048873252015-09-29T10:19:40.969+10:002015-09-29T10:19:40.969+10:00It's true with the kids thing.

Fortunately, I didn't want kids of my own when we were together but it was a conversation we had early on. I am still coming to terms with him being 19 years older than me. It was fine 19 years ago, but now the age difference is more marked with him in his 60s. When you get to your 60s, it's when your body starts to tell you, you really aren't that young anymore, no matter what you feel or think in your head. Steve says in his head, he's still 25, too bad his body doesn't think the same way. Fortunately, we laugh about it and roll with it.

I really think this is one of the things couples need to take into account when faced with this decision. Also the question of kids. A friend of my sister married a man who was almost 30 years older than her. He already had a grown family and he didn't want to have any more kids. She was in her early twenties and did. It was a huge decision for her to accept that she'd never have her own if she wanted to be with him. Of course she has a lot of babies with grandkids etc in her life but it was a big thing for her to reconcile with herself.Amy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690419732247281048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-78287913408946986832015-09-28T13:41:44.002+10:002015-09-28T13:41:44.002+10:00These 2 seem pretty compatible!

I have read another book in Robyn Carr's series in which the heroine was a mature 25 & the hero was, I think 38 or 39. That worked out fine, too. So I am guessing as long as it doesn't seem creepy, I would be OK with age gaps.

As to your question about the age difference, I'm not sure I have one, though I probably do. When I first met Steve, he was 44 and I was 25. That's a 19 year difference. We've been crazy happily married and madly in love for 15 years now and we've been together 18. What they don't tell you is the realities of the age difference, when one partner is much older and their bodies age at a different rate to yours. That takes a little bit of adjustment to deal with.

But I'd also read 35 years of heroines and heroes of 30 years .... in short, even the older woman than man.

I am not turned off by an age difference. I must admit to enjoying a hero who knows the score, and is confident and treats women well. That usually happens with age, so I accept an older hero. I understand he thinks she is older so the age difference here is acceptable to him. In real life, our experiences define our age more than months ticked off on a calendar. Some people cannot bridge the gap, while others who are more comfortable in their own skin, more comfortable with who they have become, can easy accommodate the difference in their age.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666708163109293348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-84570054562311926242015-09-27T14:13:29.044+10:002015-09-27T14:13:29.044+10:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01666708163109293348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-40048458943816467392015-09-27T14:11:58.138+10:002015-09-27T14:11:58.138+10:00Fingers crossed, Kandy :-)Fingers crossed, Kandy :-)Amy Andrewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12690419732247281048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2489168146200487747.post-6950437948949552282015-09-27T13:21:05.622+10:002015-09-27T13:21:05.622+10:00Hi Amy
