I met a guy on holiday when I was 37, he turned out to be only 18 altho i did not know this at the time. We had a great time and kept in touch when we got home. I am now 41 and he is turning 22 and we are married, had the perfect wedding in Scotland with all his and my family together, my son who was 17 at the time of our wedding even gave me away. We are so in love and very very happy and are now trying for a child, hopefully we will be granted our wish to make our marriage and life even more perfect.
Most of us had relationships with the "older woman", but not many of us get married to them. The oldest I was with for a year or two, was 12 years older. That was 22 years ago. She is now 63, and eventhough I visit her and maintain contact with her, as friends, there's no physical attraction there, at least not from me.
As I said on an earlier post, an ex-girlfriend at age 54 married a 24 year old last year in San Francisco. I see and talk to her often, and they are doing well, but she knows this relationship is for the short term, and will come to end soon. But she is happy, as long as it lasts.
I have questions about younger man getting married to a much older women, like in your case. I don't know which one of you is less mature. One is looking for a "mother" and the other looking looking to be "care taker". Perhaps you were looking for a "play mate" for your 17 year old son.! Your whole arrangement with your young husband, who is likely to be a "mummy's boy" is spelled with future disasters in your relationship. To make things even more difficult, you also want to have a baby with him.
Miracles do happen now and again. I hope for your sakes, you'll be one of them, to prolong your marriage beyond 5-10 years with your husband.!!
