Okay peeps some numbers matter more than others.  Case in point – Rush Limbaugh is on marriage number 4.  I’m thinking the 26 year age gap might just be the least of his worries!  And then there is Larry King’s 7 (or is it 8 marriages)…

Ladies no matter what the age of your partner,  please read this article.  I love it!  She’ll make you laugh, but she’ll leave you thinking.  Ron and I are in our 24th year of marriage.  I can barely remember my life before him.  At night I pray I won’t have learn how to deal with life without him, but the truth is I may (just as he might have to figure out how to manage without me.)  What’s funny to think about is that after all these years as “the younger woman” I could end up being a cougar and goodness only knows Ron might end up as a boy toy or “cub” for some sexy Sophia Loren-like diva.  No worries.  I’m not going to spend any more time fretting about a future I can’t control.  What I do hope is that we can go ahead and get all this “cougar” stuff out of our system.  Let’s get back to the business of celebrating loving relationships between two people.  Really no matter what you call the partners, there just can’t be too much love.

This article is just downright cute…. that is if you choose to not take  yourself too seriously and just enjoy the irony of life.  Now that the moniker “cougar” has become a part of pop culture it seems we’re desperate to give older men a name too. I chuckle about all of this, but truly I wonder why we just can’t call him “him” and call her “her”.  In a day and age where we are so worried about political correctness how is it okay for us to hang labels on people based on the age of their partner?  I’m really not trying to get radical here.  I just find it damned ironic.   The good no, great news is that articles about May-December (uh oh, I’m guilty of it too aren’t I?!) relationships are popping up on the internet faster than I can post them.

So please read the article below with a light heart and let it give you a giggle.  You’ll also note that the piece links you to many other May-December tidbits.

I officially feel like a kid in a candy store!!!  I am finding so many articles about May-December relationships.  A year ago I was lucky to find one a month and those were usually coming from the U.K.  I’m wondering if the new TV shows Modern Family and Cougar Town have generated more interest in age gap relationships.  Whatever the case may be, I am a happy camper.

Please take a moment to read what Mr. Dad has to say on the subject.  He is right on in my book!

I’m not exactly sure what to think about this clip.  What I do know is I’m very happy to see the topic of May-December dating coming out of the closet!  It’s great to hear it being discussed for real people – not just celebrities.
