Large age difference

[TigerPaws]

Tigerpaws and Elen.  Why don't the two of you trade email addresses?  Your endless debate has forced me to "unwatch this thread" as I am sure most others have long ago concluded.  Or maybe you should have long ago started a new thread, "Two stuborn people with opposing views".

KenC,

 I agree it is time to stop a pointless argument and I should have done so long ago, Bruce is also right the moderator should delete a LARGE number of these posts and leave what he believes is useful to the discussion group. To be honest I was having some measure of fun baiting Elen along I just let things get a bit carried away, sorry to those of you who grew tired of this and I will not let it happen again. There is little to be gained from arguing with someone who refuses to listen and has no interest in having her preconceived ideas confused by facts.

KenC,

 I am ready but the insurgents keep shooting at me.

I am ready but the insurgents keep shooting at me.

 Are you ready to admit I was right? Just split that out and I'll leave you in a peace:D[/color][/font]

KenC,

 See what I mean the insurgents keep shooting.

[Elen]

I thought you said you were READY. But I see you are still breathing:X

I respectfully submit that both parties are correct in their assumptions from their respective point of view.

Hold up a coin, look at your side and compare notes with someone else looking at the other.. both will see different impressions but in the end it is only one coin.

This thread was started with KenC's statement

The biggest problem we have had with our large age difference (25 years) has been with other people's perception. 

16 pages of discussion only showed it's true (though as it seems KenC's forgot what he wrote himself and brought it all only to my (and only my ) personal stubborn.

[/quote] In an attempt to bring this discussion back on track, I would like to relate a very recent event. Last night was our neighbors 27th birthday, Olya and her son of 4 have been here in America for 9 months with her American husband who is 51. For her birthday we flew them over to Orlando in our twin engine airplane for dinner and a show. Of course Olya had never before been in a private aircraft so it was quite an experience for her and an eye opener sense my wife was flying the airplane (after many thousands of hours I do not need the additional experience). Anyway we all had a great time at dinner and the show, both Olya and her husband are very happy together and from what my wife tells me Olya is exactly as she seems to be an honest lady who is very much in love and happy with her husband and their relationship.

[Elen]

Here we're again, trying to give out an EXEPTION for a RULE:? and using the fact that some Olya enjoys with fly at personal plane as a prove she loves her old husband for himself but not just a hight level style of life

Elen, stop the fight... it is not possible to change him...

About is story... it is a little like these i have know with my ex-russian wife...

In this time, i was with a very good income ( around 5000 euro month )... and i have my best friend with a better situation : owner of 17 super shopping center, owner of one football club, co-organisator of miss belgium beauty, he have meet several star from cinema,... he have for to my wife how much he was rich... result : my wife have begin to be difficult and ask to have the same level of life, she have sleep with him,  his wife have know this, she have ask the divorce, he have loose a lot of money, ... the last time i have listen something about him, he was asking help to my state organization... it was the end of my good time with my own wife... maybe it is why i have choose now to be a simple working and that i hate these arrogant rich people...

Yes, Olya have enjoy the plane... but we don't know what have happen after, when she have come back home, what she think now about his lovely husband who have no plane.

When a man has nothing to offer of his personality, he uses money.

 and what can he offer if he doesn't have personality and money?

 Sorry but I tried to bring the subject back on tract without attacking anyone, just presenting as sucess story, I am sorry there are those here who enjoy attempting to tear apart something they do not believe in.

OK, this is the subject... 24 year between wife and man... Success story ??? Only 9 months together... they are only at the beginning... You are the success story... 5 year married to a young woman, child, rich... You are lucky, you are the exception who confirm the rule... not the usual ...

Bruno,

 No one can predict the future for any relationship they are far too dynamic, my point is that relationships with large age differences can work as it is up th the couple to make their relationship work.

[/quote]No one try to say that it will not work. It can. But it is not normal.

[KenC]

Normal?  What's that?  It isn't normal to marry a woman from the other side of the world either.  My wife and I are closing in on our 6th anniversary of our wedding with a 25 year difference in our ages.  What is real funny is that I have not personally witnessed a failed marriage where there was a great difference in ages between the RW and the AM.  I have however, seen 4 or 5 blow apart where the age difference was insignificant.  Makes you wanna go HMMMM.

KenC

[Elen]

Normal is what accepted by majority of people and what you wish for your own kids. All others is "outlets" ( bad or good ) when "normal" doesn't work  for one or another reason

[tim 360]

17 pages of this???  Sometimes it is best for one to see beyond the "normalicies" which they espouse.  To circumscribe boundries on relationships,  said boundries limited by your own limited and paltry life's experiences professess and displays a hugely pedestrian and parochial and limited regional life's experience.  These words of "normaliciles" are the mouthings and non-profound thoughts of "intellectual hicks", moribund in their own life's quagmires--- who are so quick to expound upon their limited experience and wisdom upon others as if it is a sacred epistle or gospel.  Poppycock.  Proof?  If their lives were happier and more meaningful...they would spend far less time posting their opinions on an internet messageboard everyday.  At least one would conjecture that thought?

I sincerely wish you the best Ken C.  These people know nothing except the limited narrowness in how they interpert life (how many years???)...which is,  afterall what they have known in their own meager lives and are so quick to share their conclusions of their wisdom.  Perhaps they could draw diagrams?  Charts?

Laughter,  Ken C is good therapy.  You were fortunate to find an excellent wife.  I suggest you have a good chuckle....and give your wife a hug.  The difference is not so much in the years---it is moreso in the qualities of the person,  X 2,  Cheerio, Tim360

Oh such wisdom words from such open mind person who is such ready and willing to hear out opinions of others people:D

Are you about KenC or about TigerPawn?

 

[Bruno]

Normal?  What's that?  It isn't normal to marry a woman from the other side of the world either. 

 

With normal, they mean in the norm... like the majority... and interesting, when we think good, marry a foreign woman is not in the norm too...

Long time ago, people marry in the same village... with modern transport, people have marry in the same country... now, with fast transport and internet, people marry foreigner... yes, it is not already in the norm but it is growing...

And be positive, marry a foreign is very good... Biologist explain that so marriage allow new DNA in the communauty who make people more strong physicaly ...

The main point is that the communication and transport allow us to see more far that our little city... we have more choice... and i think that will be growing with the very long time... not because of agency but because of easy cheap travel ... people go meet each other during some holliday in foreign country... Russia is only starting know the benefice of tourist... and it is a wonderfull country to visit...
