I personally see nothing wrong with this.  But what you have to be sure of is how well she can manage it.  You seem to think it all starts and ends with you.  What of if she'll find it difficult submitting to you (a potentially younger brother).   I believe she's the one to be asking herself all the questions.  Of course, you'll want to be the man of the house and the head of the family.  Even though I personally believe that has to do with responsibility in the home and not your age.  But nowadays, some ladies even find it hard submitting to their husband who is far older than them.

So you really have to study her and be sure she's the type who will want to respect you and keep it that way in the future despite the fact that she's older than you.  Considering the fact that in our culture, we naturally expect some respect from someone of the younger age and at the same time, marriage demands that the lady should submit to the husband.  You can understand her dilemma with all these things already in her subconscious before you met her.

So, its not that easy.  I use to be in that shoe before I got married.  Despite all the affection and  blind love (you know some love doesn't just make sense), eventually the lady realized and left.  If I had listened to the voice of wisdom, the relationship would have ended much earlier.  But by the time this lady realized and left, I have become too attached and had my heart broken.

Thank God, I handled it well and today I thank God every time I remember how the whole affair ended.

To sum it all up. Just be careful. Don't take things on the surface. Dig deep.  Observe. Make sure you know who you're dealing with.

Cheers

My advice to the OP is if you love her and want to spend the rest of your life with her, then do so! However if you have doubts, not a good idea, And do yourself a favor, do what YOU want to do, not what you think others want you to do,

BTW I am older then my Man and he wishes to spend the rest of his life with me, I am older then he and I am white, He does not give A RATS A&^% what others think, it is our relationship and no others opinion matters to him or I. There will always be someone who thinks it taboo, but you need to do what you feel is right for you and your partner.

When it comes to genuine love you can't tell your heart who to fall in love with, it just happens!

@ POSTER THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU HAVE NOT REALLY SAID EVERYTHING, AS I FEEL THAT SHE FEELS YOU HAVE USED HER ENOUGH AND YOU ARE NOT SAYING ANYTHING ABOUT MARRIAGE,  I HOPE YOU HAVE NOT PROMISED TO MARRY HER SOME TIME IN THE PAST AND SHE WAITED FOR YOU BECOS OF THAT.

ALSO DO LET US KNOW HOW MANY YEARS YOU HAVE STAYED WITH THIS GIRL .

ALSO IT WOULD BE VERY BAD TO JUST DUMP HER LIKE THAT,  THAT WOULD BE UNFAIR,  JUST BE WISE IN YOUR DECISION AND ASK GOD TO DIRECT YOU. ALSO NOTE THAT YOU NEED TO PRAY ABOUT THIS COS YOU HAVE BEEN INTIMATE WITH HER FOR A WHILE NOW. YOU NEED TO TALK TO HER AND COMPLAIN TO HER ABT HER ATTITUDE I.E THE THREAT AS THAT'S THE ONLY THING AM NOT OKAY WITH

If you are from a Yoruba Race, please do not try it, but if from others you can go ahead, so far you love her. Really age difference is nothing but from this part of the world is a serious issue. My advice, go with your mind. wish u luck.
Re: Please Help: Is It Right To Marry A Lady Older Than You by Russialane(m): 5:58pm On Sep 08, 2011
why are you just realising now that she is older than you i bet you are looking for an excuse to dump her now, because if you truly love this girl there will not have been a second thought on your mind to even consider her being older than you,

1. Yes, it is right to marry someone older than you.

2. No, it is wrong to marry a desperadoe.

In my opinion, grab your boots and flee from SATAN! Cool

-we have dated for 4yrs.
-The first 2 yrs wasnt serious as you have to take time to understand each other.
- I knew she was older than me at the last half when I gave her some dough to do her International passport. Though I didnt really take a look at the passport until when there was an event that needed her passport.
- When I noticed the age difference I overlooked it at first until she started making a reference atto it when we have a lil misunderstanding that she is older than me bla bla bla

Re: Please Help: Is It Right To Marry A Lady Older Than You by kistehsia(f): 6:56pm On Sep 08, 2011
@sley4life

First question, Is she going off at you in the misunderstanding using the excuse she is older then you so you should listen to her?  If so that is wrong, regardless of the age difference you are the MAN!  Respect is a must , that behavior would not should not be tolerated, I don't care that I am older then my Man he is head of the relationship and always deserves my respect, admiration and loyalty, And no I am not saying beat her!!!!  If however she is insecure about the age difference, instead of saying blah blah blah, you may try reassuring her, Or you have simply grown tired and bored with her regardless of her age and are seriously thinking of moving on, if this is the case then I suggest you do and don't drag it on any further, it would not be fare to do so!

The truth is if you will respect her enough to behave as a matured man in the relationship or else you will blame yourself.
Re: Please Help: Is It Right To Marry A Lady Older Than You by emmatok(m): 9:20pm On Sep 08, 2011
@OP,

Don't marry her, or else you will regret it.

She doesn't love you, she is just desperate to get married.

With all those threats, she will unleash hell on you.

Better run away now!!!
Re: Please Help: Is It Right To Marry A Lady Older Than You by Merc: 9:44pm On Sep 08, 2011
The threats from her is an indicator of what you will face later on in the marriage. You are going to be a boy boy. Lol.

I know older women give better BJs than the younger ones and the sex is better too, because of experience and confidence


As for marrying someone older that you, well, sorry, that is not my area of expertise. I just sow my oats and move on.



I love the kind of life wey I dey live o . . .

Looking @ this issue psychologically, the lady n question hv invested so much n u, i want to admonish u to settle with her amicably cos know u hv deceived her, pls tell her u hv been deceiving her and beg her , Take ur mum and ur siblings and beg her. Because it is unfair for u to dump her after sleeping with her and spending her money. If she curses u naked it will work. u know u dont like her bt u r bound by her commitments so go make restitution! I wish u goodluck!
