15 Reasons Why Marrying Someone Twice Your Age is a Bad Idea

My husband is 18 years older than me. My good friend married someone 15 years older than her. We have a lot in common.

  1. They call your music 'crap' that makes their ears bleed.
  2. They stop growing hair on their heads and start growing it on their back.
  3. Suddenly it is your spouse that 'walked 10 miles to school - uphill - both ways'.
  4. You see an old dude at the store and can't remember if he's a friend of your spouse -- or your dad.
  5. They feel the need to parent your friends.
  6. They feel the need to parent you.
  7. When you have a night of drinking and partying they watch patiently from a table instead of joining you.
  8. They gripe at you to pick up your clothes.
  9. And clean under the bed.
  10. They cash in their retirement counting on you to support them in their Golden Years.
  11. They see no humor in you kissing them in public - and then calling them Daddy.
  12. Sex is suddenly PG13
  13. Yes, they get wrinkly down there... and sag too.
  14. You're 31 when they turn 50, that's just gross.
  15. Suddenly the novelty of being a trophy wife wears off and you are just another bad late night joke.

And who said Anna Nicole had it easy?
