32 year old man 42 year old woman. (husband, too young, children, sex)

I am genuinely curious I dont NEED an opinion per se. I just wanted to hear how people who have been through that dealt with it really. At first i thought it was taboo but the more and more I think about it, it doesnt seem that way.

OP, why do you need to ask anyone's opinion? If you like her and she likes you, what more do you need? Life is to be lived.

Thanks. This is they type of stuff I am looking for.

Oh, well, I guess all those happily married couples will have to get divorced now. :-/

if you desire a relationship of some sort with her just be upfront about what you want for the future. At 42 she has experience with life and will appreciate it and this can apply for any ages as well. And her being older is no reason why you cannot have a serious relationship if you choose. It can be surprising how life can take us in different directions with places and people. Life aint scripted. How many of us did EXACTLY what we thought we would be doing? Probably not a lot. I have dated older women and would settle for a mid 40s woman if she was great. Life is to be loved like the other op said up there.

You seem very ambivalent so I think you should get someone your own age or younger.

It's not that big an age difference.

And, what makes you want to seek approval ? You feel uncomfortable about someone 10 years older, or you want to high-five~ "Yaaaaaaaa, I got an older hot babe". lol !!

Sorry, but she is not a "Cougar" ... you'd have to be more like 22 for her to be a Cougar. HA HA HA HA !!!!!!!

[Moose2998]

Never said she was a cougar.

[srjth]

The term "Cougar" suggests that it's the older woman hunting the younger man, like a big cat hunts it's prey. In a cougar situation the older woman "devours" the man (sexually of course) and doesn't want anything more from him nor has any remorse about it. In reality, sometimes it's the younger guys hunting the older woman in this way. So the term "cougar" is inaccurate in those cases. It's also inaccurate when there is a mutual desire for a relationship or love between the two.

An age difference within ten years is not bad at all as long as the younger one is old enough. For example, in the '80s a woman of 23-25 years was quite mature, although I have no idea if the same woman is as mature these days

[Moose2998]

I heard that lol
