Well, I am 34 and my hubby is 19. Believe me, that *does* "turn a lot of heads" as has been said in this thread. In some ways, he is more mature than me, heh. We don't really need anyone's approval, although his friends really like me, and that's nice.
When we're out somewhere, someone will say "Your son" or "Your mom" and we gently correct them, letting them know that we're married. Usually, people are receptive to it, occasionally, they're surprised.
It doesn't really matter to us. We're in love, and it's working out great.
Good thread.
