There was a 20 year gap between my husband and I. These are the things I appreciated most that were directly connected to his age.
1) More experience and wisdom meant that I trusted him to know best, protect me and keep me safe and I respected him more because of that.
2) He had a greater confidence and experience with sex and led me into finding myself and learning what I like
3)He had long since lost that 'excited puppy' stage of making love. Sex lasted a lot longer and he knew what he was doing. He focused on my pleasure and breaking down my boundaries.
4) There was a natural power exchange just because of the age difference and that gave me a lot of fulfilment.
5)He'd already raised a child as a single dad and was settled and dependable when it came to raising our children.
Disadvantages are
1)Sadly his body was more vulnerable than I understood. He died of an unexpected brain hemorrhage and I have been widowed young whilst our children are still fairly young.
2) His fashion sense was sometimes questionable because he didn't particularly care what he looked like if he was comfortable.
3)He was very set in his ways and it was hard to get him to change his mind or change his opinion (although this was also a positive advantage a lot of the time.)

I had a long term relationship with a man 20 years older than me.
He was very comfortable with himself no posturing or posing etc he was exactly who he was.
On flip side he could be inflexible a bit because of that. Not try new stuff.
I also had a bf for a while after him so was 10 years my junior. He could be exhausting like a mad little puppy trying to do everything at once.
Currently I'm in a, relationship with someone only a bit older than me. 🤔

My husband was 18 years older. He was financially secure when we married (I was just 20)

The old train gets to roll on a new slick shiny track.
Eventually it derails somewhere. If the old train has lots of money, then the new track can benefit in the end. Can always toss the old train in the visitor centre and get a replacement.
