I Am In An Age Gap Relationship

39 years difference between me and my husband, I'm 33 he 72, we have been together 3 half years and married in 1st October 2015, people told us it would not last but are proving them wrong, despite the abuse I have had, mainly being accused of being a gold digger

Congratulations! Success rarely escapes criticism :)

Lots, maybe most, of great relationships are complementary. Like a team were one plays the front court and the other the back back court and teammates don't compete with one another. One is enthusiastic the other wise, or one is Yin and the other Yang, and together you complement one another's strengths.

The blockbuster romance stories of my generation like My Fair Lady and the Sound of Music depicted romances with pretty big age differences. I don't recall anyone after seeing the movies commenting about Eliza Doolittle being a gold digger. Most thought that Henry Higgins would still be head over heels with her till the end of eternity.
