    How did your parents react meeting your now husband? And how did his parents react meeting you?

      My parents didn’t have much of a reaction. They said if I like him that’s all, I’ll be the one to be with him not them. His parents are 82 & 87, they were excited for him to remarry. His son (38) was the one who reacted negatively, but he’s come around & now we’re amicable.

        Whoa, his son is 7 years older than you??

        What is that like? What sort of a conversation did you have with him?

          Yeah. He’s really close with his dad. In the beginning he threw a fit. Ignored me, insulted me, trash talked me, etc. I just let him do his thing. Eventually he started being less hostile towards me, then even friendly. He fully came around once he was assured that we wouldn’t have any children. Now we’re amicable. Though him and I don’t hang out or chat in one on one settings.

            And how do you feel about it? Does it affect your marriage knowing you’re younger than his child?

              I don’t really feel anything. It’s just another piece of info. Doesn’t affect our marriage at all. 99% of the time I don’t even think about it.
