I am wondering what your in-laws feel about your marriage. Looking at your situation I believe if you and your hubby are both happy then so am I, but if I was an in-law I might feel differently. My son is 29 and I think if he began dating a woman 18 years his senior I would not be real happy. (No insult intended! I am just being honest!) Have there been any problems?

His mother amazed me when it came to us. From the first day I meet her till the day she passed, she loved me and made me promise to always be a part of her family. I've never had a problem with any of his family, honestly I was expecting some problems.....but none ever came up.

Now my Father was taken back at first, till he meet him. He question was "What does that boy see in you?" I still not sure how to take that question... He's ok with it now. He's only problem now is, he just wants Paul to learn to play golf, if he going to be a part of this family. LOL

I understand your honety about if it was your son dating a older woman. I went months before I would even meet Paul's mother because of that reason. I just knew she would have a problem with it and I could not blame her. I too thought the same thing, if it was my child, how would I feel? The day I first met her she greeted me at the door with, "Oh you are beautiful" and huged/kissed me. So all my worrys were for nothing.

I think what is came down too is once they saw their child happier then ever before, they set aside their frears and finally realize that the only thing that matters is thier happiness. Before Paul I had gone through a terrible marriage and a nasty divorce, that lasted years and years. My X did some horrible things towards the end, so I belive that my family was just gald to see me smile for a change.
