I’ve been known to praise the UK for it’s willingness to talk about age-gap relationships in their media. This article has me absolutely fuming. It represents the typical prejudice and stereotypes age gappers are know for. This is the quote that sent my blood pressure soaring.
If you’re the older partner in an age gap relationship, the worst thing you can do is expect, or assume, that it will last – it’s highly unlikely.
My goodness! You may as well just tell the older partner…. “don’t work at it, don’t even really bother to try because it’s doomed.” This is one of the those times when I’d like to take all 25 years of my marriage (imperfect as it may be) and wave our marriage license in the author’s face. Marriage is hard work…. period. full stop. end of sentence. And yes even people with significant age differences can and DO MAKE IT WORK!!!
I’d love to hear what you think about this one:
