    Seems like toyboys are in this year!

    As a thirty-something man I can't imagine much worse than spending time a teenager/early 20's woman. Each ot their own though.

    BIL was in his mid 30s when he met his wife. She was 21 and they've been together 13 years and married for nearly 10.

    My husband is almost 13 years old than me, we met when I was 30 and he was 42. It certainly wasn't the money issue, he was as poor as me, sadly!

    Before I met him, I had been seeing a 19 year old :eek:
    He was lovely but just too young for me, I wasn't really up for all night raves, boozy parties on the beach in Cornwall and watching South Park on the telly, we didn't have much in common. Mind you, me and DH don't have much in common either, his favourite band is Status Quo!!! (What he lacks in musical taste, he makes up for in his taste in women)

    He is not his biological father, he brought him up from the age of 4.
    I was 17 when I had him. And now I've just thought of that a 21 year old doesn't seem so young perhaps!

    I was 15, about a week or so off 16 when I got with the biological father and he was 21 nearly 22. But hey age gaps are allowed you all said! :-)
    If you're going to stalk me, while you're at it can you cut the grass, feed the dog & make sure I've got bread & milk in :D
