My wife and I are 27 years apart. We have been happily married for 5 yrs. We met when she was 22 and I was 49. We both fell in love with each other, but did not let the other know. We kept it to ourselves. It wasn't until I told her I did not want to see her anymore because I was in love with her, that she told me she felt the same towards me. I never came on to her or tried to win her over to me in any way. I felt guilty having these feelings for someone more than half my age. At that moment, we both stepped back and analyzed our situation in an intelligent manner without going any further in the relationship. We decided to try to "make it happen" without sexual intimacy. It wasn't until we knew in our hearts that it was OK to pursue the relationship. It wasn't until we were engaged that we gave in to each other. We bonded permanently when the magic moment arrived and I experienced true love for the first time in my life. Since we have been together I have no desire for anyone else, no matter how "hot" a woman is in my co-workers opinion. They think I am whipped, and I totally agree! The woman I married is the most wonderful, beautiful, intelligent person I have ever known could exist, and wouldn't trade her for anything. My one and only goal in life is to make her happy. She will be the center of my universe until I die.
