Just curious...How many of us are older than their husband?

I'm just really curious if alot of women are married to younger men or are dating a younger man.

Personally my DH is almost 5yrs younger than me. I was born in Dec. 1974 and he was born in Aug. 1979. He was just a "young pup" when we met at a dance club when he was 19 and I was 24. It's been the best 9yrs with him and I wouldn't change it for nothing

So who else has a younger man in their life?

My Mom and Dad are doing the older woman younger man thing. She will be 50 this year and he will be 48. It seems to work for them.

I am 5 and a half months older than my dh, and from June 8th until November 25th, he doesn't let me forget it! He loves calling me his old lady too....yeah, funny guy. BUT he has lots of grey hair and I have none so that makes up for him calling me that!

DH is 2 years older than me. All three of his sisters married younger men, but there are no huge age differences.

Thanks for asking. Things have been up and down over the years, right now they are down. But I am the Mother of her two oldest grandsons, and that's a fact that cannot be changed!

I never even dated anyone younger than me. I always had a thing for older guys. Starting in high school, I would date college guys, then I meet my Dh when I was 20 and he was 35. We married a year later and we are coming up on our 12th anniversary.

I am 2 years and 11 months (I just usually say 3 years) older than my DH! No big deal though.....he has grey all through his hair and I only have a few strands here and there so everyone thinks he's older anyway!!!

My soon to be husband (7/7/7 is the date!) is six years younger than me. When we got together he was 24 and I was 30 oh where the years have gone! Now he'll be 39 in a month and I am 45. We both are a bit paunchier and slower but oh yeah where was I going? a little more senile too.
Anyway yes before I knew my issues I dated older men when I started becoming enlightened and working on my stuff I liked younger men better although I guess relatively speaking six years is not that much especially when you're old like me. LOL
