 Are we the only couple that has a 10 year difference in age that is very happy and in love with my husband and loved by my husband (41), still like newly weds when it comes to the bedroom and we've been together for 20 years. When married to my ex-husband Richard we met for the first time. He was 16 years old and I was 27. I remember thinking he is cute and would grow into a handsome man, after my Mom married his Dad my husband lived with them after leaving the Navy, he was 19 at the time, he turned 20 about 6 months later. Bill chased me and I ran, I mean what are you thinking I asked him? I told him I was a loser, I couldn't give him children or so I thought at the time. I had tried for years to get pregnant after six months with Bill I discovered  January 9, 1987 we found out that I was pregnant and had been three months prior. Over the years my husband and I have struggled financially to survive, we've gone without so our sons could have something they needed, we worked through my alcoholism and this summer I'm celebrating 10 years of sobriety. God willing. My husband is disabled and had his first back surgury of many happened in Feb. 87. Yet even though he is in constant pain, after one surgury he'd attend the rec. football games because our son was playing, he could only last till the first half of the game was over. My husband comes home, he doesn't lie to me about where he is, he always puts himself last often going with out needed clothes because one of our sons needed shoes, cleats, class ring, etc. When he is gone taking care of our elderly parents I feel as if one half of me has been cut off, I don't feel complete.  I'd just like you to know that there is such a thing as love at first sight, and a happy solid marriage with someone that is 10 years younger because I have it! Today our oldest is 19 going to Husson College in Maine and plays on the football team and always watches out for the ones that are being bullied and stops it in it's tracks. He is loved and admired by so many class mates both in high school and college. Our youngest is 18 and is graduating high school this spring and is entering UMA in the fall for the art program. Our family doesn't fight with each other, my boys are not out of control and on drugs, we don't lie to one another either. There is so much more but I think you all get the idea that I am a 50 year old woman very happily married to a 40 year old man.
