Thanks for sharing your story, @stephmckenzie. I was married to an older man too - so may misconceptions. But you tell your story in an entertaining way. I love the way you listed how you found out about each kid! Nothing surprises you now, I'm guessing!

You're so right! I pretty much roll with things these days. My husband gets stressed out pretty easily, but I'm just sitting back, going, "Whatever, man. It will all work out like it's supposed to. No worries. Just let it be." Haha! I'm inching toward Zen, that's for sure. A lot of that is definitely from being with him....you can't be too surprised by anything, or your whole life would be chaos. Some of it is also from reading books on spirituality. "Way of the Peaceful Warrior" and "Conversations With God" changed my whole outlook on life.
I always dated guys who were older than me. I'm still attracted to much older guys....like, in their 60's and 70's now, in some cases. But, if I had it to do over, and if I ever get a chance to do it again, I think the smarter choice is to choose someone closer to my own age. Those generation gap issues can be huge. He's a Baby Boomer and I'm a GenX-er, and there are some real differences in expectations from a relationship, and outlook on the world in general.
