Hi Everyone,

I am 31...and I have been married for almost three years. Lately the age thing has been really getting to me. I am an advocate facial cream user. The problem that I am having, mind you it is not all the time, but, my husband is not even 21 yet.

I was thinking the other night that when I am 50 he will be 39. And that started to sound really bad. I love him with all my heart. But I am just starting to feel really odd about the age difference. When we are together there is no age difference. But then my wheels start turning and thinking, Holy Crap...I am 11 years older than he is. We have no children and if he wants some we need to do it now. But the thought of that even scares me.

What is wrong with me? Do any of you have a similar situation that you can share w/ me?

Thanks
Sinnrah

Hi,
My husband is older, but shorter than me. We got married at 18 and still together after 20 years. I am now 37. I do look older than him though. He still looks like he's in his 20's because of his Italian skin (and good genes).
Anyway, he's always told me that wrinkles (naturally occuring ones) don't bother him at all and that he's mostly concerned with my body staying in shape. I don't really have any wrinkles, but 3 deep lines on my forhead I do have. I use sunscreen everyday and microdermasion cream I started using a couple weeks ago. I LOVE THE STUFF!! You will stay younger looking by applying sunscreen everyday no matter what the weather looks like outside. I hope this helps. If he really loves you, it shouldn't be a problem.
