Too Old

i dont think age factor is matter because i have seen lots of couple who have age difference but they are very mature but problem come is also in same age so its depends on trust and belief otherwise we cant do anything...

It is a tricky one. I think you're right in trying to draw her attention to the potential reality of such an age difference in the future. 52 is still relatively young. 82 isn't! She will still be relatively young when he's 82!!

It is true that this age difference may impact their relationship later in life. But at end of the day, it is her decision. And you never know? Things could work out for them. It has for other couples. It could be the same for them. I'm not trying to say that you have no reason to be concerned, but only time will tell how things work out.

She is too young to take decisions in my opinion. She needs guidance.

here in my country if a man is much older than the girl it is acceptable but if the woman is much older than the guy people raised their brows.... I believe that age doesn't matter in a relationship. Both parties need to adjust and accept each other's flaws when time of difficulties occur and respect should remain

I am 16 years old than Mike.Been together 45 years and married 2 years.No problem here with the age.He is stuck.(kidding)

The future is certainly the major concern here. Age difference diminishes as we grow into adults, but naturally returns again as our age progresses. In 25 years time the age gap will seem far more than it is now. Of course the ultimate opinion is that of the two people concerned because they are the ones that must make the final decision.

Love is a very powerful and a magical feeling. We cannot stop lovers because they are unstoppable. The more you stop them, the more they will insist on their feelings. I am a woman and I am honest that I prefer a much more older man. I see them as gentleman and can defend me all the time.

I personally feel like it is between her and her husband. I think the mother could ask her have you thought of the age gap, what about having children, have you thought of the fact that he might pass away first? After, giving her facts... then back off and let her make the decision herself, and support her all the way, in the decision she choices. I say that from experience. My husband is twenty six years older than me. He has COPD bad now, and cannot do much. He is on Oxygen, and we have a lot of adjustments to make. I love him with all my heart, and I want to help him out anyway I can. Do I regret marrying him? Absolutely not, and would do it again. My husband is the most wonderful man in the world, and it was the best decision for us. However, it is not all easy, because you do have health issues to deal with. Age is just a number, what matters is what is in the heart.

Maybe they really love each other my fiance is older than me but only a few years. I hope it works out with him

thing is even if cora tells her kid what she thinks it wont change what the kid does, all she can do is be quietly supportive, and gently mention her concerns, if there is a time and place for it.

that is way older than her - she must consider what it will be like living with him when she is 60 and he is 90

OH lordy I would be quite cautious about giving advice as it can be mistaken and taken the wrong way. I guess it should be ok to point out the pro's and con's. I have to admit it is a tuffy.

I agree. I think she should be taking into account that things will be different than if she was with someone who was closer to her age. But I guess, she will do whatever it is she wants to do. Whatever happens, I wish the best for her.

These things are not always what we plan or want for our children/ But, with time this mother may see some signs of what is to come. The daughter may show some real love for the man, or, she might start backing off a little. I would advise her to go with the flow and give it some time. See what happens or what she sees in the relationship in the months to come. Jumping forth with an opinion too early could alienate her from her mom and she may need her council later on a bit.

I think who cares how old people are and just marry who you want because that is what she is going to do anyway lolz

I think that you are on the right path, pointing out the differences right now and down the road. Good luck.

I would also be concerned, but it is her daughters decision to make,

rather I like or dislike the idea,she is an adult and can do as she likes. I would have a talk with her but but she is my daughter so I would still stand beside her.

I can give an honest opinion... Okay, I too, had a more mature relationship at an even younger + age he was 10 yrs. older but for a couple of years the (XXX),, was right up his alley! Leading the good old friends (who?), parenting family issues, a smorgasbord of trial and error, so it's a give a try, seek employment, effort your faith, seek beauty, keep a cool head, learn, travel and "love", all you can without losing most of what you consume whether nativity or hunger! Most of all don't doubt yourself, believe in you!
