I know a woman in her 50's who proudly recounted to me about how she's been with her husband since she was 17, and he was in his 30's... I was having dinner with them at the time and couldn't conceal my disgust. I knew he was older than her, but not THAT much older.
I couldn't help myself at that dinner and asked why she'd want an old man when she was 17. He smirked at me. She was offended. She said she wanted a "mature" man
But that proud revelation was a couple years ago. Now her husband is suddenly in the hospital with many serious ailments, most likely dying. She is constantly crying on socials about her nightmare, staying beside his bed through his agony, saying things like, "I can't believe this is happening."
Oh you can't...? What did you expect, staying with a pedo nearly 20 years older than yourself? I know that things can happen at any age, but lass, you pretty much guaranteed for this moment at age 17. Enjoy your mature man.
She's only in her 50s and instead of being able to enjoy her life (pursue hobbies, travel etc. after the kids are grown and have moved out if she has any) like she would be able to do with a partner of the same age, she is now going from cleaning up after her kids and wiping their asses to cleaning up after and wiping her ancient husband's ass. Sounds like a dream come true. And if he survives like that for a few more years she will also likely be older and ill once he dies and she's finally free and will have wasted all of her healthy years on him.
Some people love to roll around in their own septic tanks and complain about the stink. This woman is one of those people.
I can see this working only if I'm after his money. Honestly there's no reason to date older men.
I wonder how she would have responded if you asked her "how would you feel if your teenage daughter started dating a 30 year old"
It is so sad that she was preyed upon as a child. Youd think though that at least around age 30 (after her brain was fully developed) she would have wised up and left him.
