Hi All,I met my hubby when he was 17 and I was 28. But, we did not get together until he turned 18. We have been married for almost three years now. I am 31 and he is 20. I believe someone up there has a sense of humor. I mean women reach their peak when they are in their thirties and men are in their twenties, or younger. So we ended up fitting together really well. And i also did not think he was so young when I met him. Talking to him, he seemed to be older. And he thought that I was his age. Funny huh? Age is only a number unless they are jailbait. Sinnrah

Kanga, Your whole post was directed to me, THERESA, but you kept addressing Dana. Just want to make sure you know who you were talking to, cause that was seriously confusing LOL!As for the "why does a 20 year old want a relationship with me anyhow," question, well that is easy. When we first met, we were ONLY friends, and neither one of us planned on having a relationship. We were not attracted to each other, and we both thought the age difference was too big for us. But after 3 months of a really close friendship, we realized that the age difference was just numbers, and the maturity difference was next to none. We were afraid to get into a relationship, but decided to give it a try, and things just blossomed. Things turned out wonderfully and I am still with him to this day. Not all guys have "bad" intentions, and I think after a year and 3 months, I would know if he was a creep or not. He is one of the greatest guys I have ever had the privelage of knowing in my lifetime, and I feel luckier than anyone, having the special relationship that I do. As for my friends, yea they were looking out for me, but after so long, and getting to know him, they thought he was great and were happy for me. But it wasn't just my friends giving me the bad criticism. It was other people who have no right to say anything at all, and at the beginning I was wary of the situation myself, and realize now that people are so quick to unfairly judge others. Anyway, I am happy, and I no longer care if people disapprove, because their opinions mean squat to me. I just hope that people wont be so quick to make a decision, and give others a chance.

I'm 24 and my husband is 37. He looks and feels really young, has a young attitude. I think it's absolutely perfect like this but I do feel I'm a lot less responsible than he is. Also he has had a whole career and many things he has achieved, and I feel I have not achieved anything yet, just starting. Sometimes I fear the thought that maybe I will have to live without him for quite a while when I'm really old...Do you have a healthy lifestyle? No smoking, low cholesterol and all that? Also, keep in mind that you might be ready for kids while she is not. [This message has been edited by Smoochy (edited 07-16-2002).]

I met my husband when I was 17 and he was 32 (16 yrs diff) and we married. I have been married to him for 5 yrs and I would not change a thing. He also looks young but he does not act it. He doesnt play the stupid games young guys generally do. And he's much better in bed. Go for it!

AGE TO ME DOESNT MATTER. IF THAT PERSON MAKES U HAPPY THEN U GO FOR IT. THIS MAY SOUND A LIL UH WEIRD OR WRONG TO OTHERS BUT MY MAN IS 30 AND IM 17. AND WE LOVE EACH OTHER LIKE WHOA. AND HES SEXY FOR A 30 YR OLD. I THOUGHT HE WAS 21 WHEN I FIRST MET HIM. PEOPLE JUST TAKE AGE TO SERIOUSLY. LIKEI COULD UNDER STAND IF I WAS LIKE 13 AND GOING OUT WIT A 20 YR OLD OR A 30 YRS NOW THATS WRONG CUZ I OWULD STILL BE A CHILD I WOULD JUST BE MAKIN IT OUT OF JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL. AND MEN SHOULD LOOK AT THAT. BUT IF UR 16 17 YRS OLD U KNOW WHAT CHU WANT AND UR JUST CAREFUL ABOUT UR RELATION SHIP WITH UR LOVERS.------------------ amber

Age defenitly does not matter I always dated older guys because I found I had nothing in common with guys my age. My first boyfriend was 21 when I was 15 and personally he was very imature, then my second was 19 and I was 16, didn't work either I broke his heart. Then I met my one and only at 17 he was 19, we got married when I was 19 and we being married ever since, 4 years to be exact(no children still working on my bachelors). I think now a days girls are way more aware and mature than before. Most importantly respect for others is respect for my self and my freedom!!!!!!
