Say you’re 43 and you fell in love with a man who is 56. The age doesn’t bother me now. The thing I wonder about is the future, ie I’m 68 and he’s 80. He’s very fit and healthy, cycles all over London, etc. I’m incredibly attracted to him. You never know what could happen. I could become ill before him. But I do think about the later years. Any advice? OP posts: See next See all. Stratocumulus · 19/07/2023 08:57. Young man’s darling, old man’s nurse. Collins567 · 19/07/2023 08:57. Go for it :) 13 years is nothing. Original poster.

No it really isn't. People on here will say they would only ever date someone a max of 4 years older or younger, which restricts them a lot. It's not like he's 30 years older. PawPrintsInMyPansies · 19/07/2023 09:44. I wouldn’t. I know that anything could happen in the future and that you may get ill at a young age, but this is pretty much an ‘unknown’. What is more likely is that the older partner will get ill/health complications. It’s also not just about physical illness, it’s about mental attitude. A significant age gap is likely to result in different attitudes/life stages, with one person retiring years before the other. I saw my mum nurse my (much) older dad. it’s always gonna be a big ‘no’, as dads as I’m concerned. Quitelikeit · 19/07/2023 09:47. It depends on whether you’d mind caring for him? We are all going to get old and die if love has come your way personally I’d not let this stand in my way! There are care homes. Tangerinedreams3 · 19/07/2023 14:14. Not for me. I just don't fancy men that much older. And I'm not being an old age nurse for anyone new. I would have done for my ex H as we met when we were young and have a lot of history. He chose to leave. There's no way I would go into a situation like that now at the age of 47 (me) I'd go no older than 55 max or stay single. W0tnow · 19/07/2023 14:23. I’d date a fit and healthy man 10 years older for sure. More, even. An unfit, overweight man, my age? Nope. I’m 55. Aprilx · 19/07/2023 14:34. I dated a man 14 years older than me when I was younger, me 24, him 38. I didn’t think anything of it at the time, but now that I am 53 the idea of being with a 67 year old is just wrong to me. I would think of an almost 70 year old of being almost a different generation and it would only get more pronounced. It is too much. HomeSeck · 19/07/2023 15:05. I don't really get these points about needing to care for an older partner - I don't see how caring for my 80 year old husband when I'm 60 would be worse than having to do it if I was 80 as well? At least I'd probably have the health/energy to go and spend time with friends etc for respite - you've only got to read some of the threads on here where elderly couples are stuck completely relying on each other and resentful. Dartmoorcheffy · 19/07/2023 15:06. I'm 13 years older than dp. He will have to loom after me ! PawPrintsInMyPansies · 19/07/2023 15:12. @HomeSeck because if you are the same age-ish, you’ve both had the same time to live your lives, rather then the younger partner wasting years caring for their older partner. I mentioned previously that my mum had to care for my dad. They loved each other, but god it was hard in her that she couldn’t do anything much apart from be a carer and hard on my sib and me as we also had to care for our dad. bridgetjonesmassivepants · 19/07/2023 15:18. My mum remarried someone with an identical age gap. Everything was fine until he got dementia and she nursed him for seven years. She had no life for most of those seven years. Obviously, you never know what's going to happen but that is too big a gap when he gets old. chocobaby · 19/07/2023 20:15. Are You ready to be a nurse to this man? Only proceed if you see yourself nursing him etc in the next few years. He might be fit now but that could change sooner than you expect! moderndaywitch · 19/07/2023 20:16. I don't think that's a massive age gap at those ages. 40 and 27 - yes, could be issues, but not at your ages. 5128gap · 19/07/2023 20:58. HomeSeck · 19/07/2023 15:05.

Its because most women of 60 have a lot of energy and zest for life. They may still be working full time in fulfilling careers, and/or enjoying some freedom with fewer responsibilities. Wanting to travel, go on days and nights out, go hiking, play sports, basically make the most of their health, strength and freedom before age inevitability slows them down. To have all these things severely restricted by the need to care a partner who himself got the opportunity to enjoy them 20 years earlier, is very harsh. If an 80 year old is caring for a same age partner there's every chance they both had chance to enjoy their 60s/70s. Mumsnet Weekly Hot Threads.

And if you don’t love him, then his age is the least of your worries. MamskiBell · 19/07/2023 22:30. I met my husband at 26 (now I'm 44) and he was 43 (he's now 61), so a 17 year age gap. I'm the one who has become disabled (as a result of pregnancy with our now 14 year son) and he cares for me. magnificently and without complaint! The age difference has never been an issue. We are so different in personality and tastes but we love the bones of each other and it just works. He's the most amazing husband and father. don't let something as insignificant as an age gap put the stoppers on future happiness ???? 5128gap · 20/07/2023 08:33.
