lady_p 08-22-2005, 05:28 AM hey all..new member from Norway..
I am a woman who recently met this gorgeous young man..but he is only 24!!
good grief..what to do? My friends think this is my middleage crisis..but I really like this man..and he likes me..)
we have a great relationship, but for one thing..his parents..his mum is ready to kill me slowly with a fork..
any ideas?
help...never been in this situation before..
Kristin 08-22-2005, 06:44 AM Welcome to Ageless!
My man is 24 and I am 37. We are both very, very happy, are living together and plan to get married.
How old are you? Is there anything other than the age thing giving you reservations? Does he want children and you can't or won't?
If not, look around this site. There are plenty of stories to show that relationships like this can and do work! :)
greeneyedgirl 08-22-2005, 09:39 AM hi gal and welcome.
don't sweat the age. my guy is 23, 24 in oct. and i'm 33, 34 in january. there's only a few months when we're 9 years apart, the rest of the time it's 10. age is a non-issue compared to the happiness.
like kristin said....cruise around and get a feel for the site.
you'll be fine :)

kathyw 08-22-2005, 10:36 AM Welcome to Ageless Lady P! I'm sure you'll find lots of support here from everyone. Looking forward to hearing more about you and your relationship. :) :D
lady_p 08-23-2005, 01:39 AM thanks girlies...))
by the way I am 40..but luckily I look a bit younger.... he says anyway..
we have a great time together..but obviously there are differences. The kids issue has not surfaced yet, but he adores my kids and they adore him..(as my sister says..well not much of an age gap THERE)..
grrr..so much prejudice all over..live in a small town..and the gossips are having a field day..
but to be honest..this is the best relationship I have ever had...
joelstrouble 08-23-2005, 02:10 AM HI!!!
Nice to see a another Norwegian here!!! :D
I'm 33 and I live just outside Oslo, together with my husband that are 13 years younger than me. We got married one month ago. :D
He is American.
lady_p 08-23-2005, 07:09 AM oh nice to see u))
lucky girl..hehe..well I did not meet my little guy until this summer..so its way too early to talk about anything really..but..good God how I want this to work out..
totally smitten on all counts..sigh
Kristin 08-23-2005, 09:00 AM my little guy
LMAO! Geez, I think my guy would be horrified to be called that!! They can be really sensitive about being younger, sometimes. I'd avoid tags like "little", "kid" & "boy" for a while! Jeremy and I call each other "babe" or "baby" and my father thinks it's hysterical every time I call Jeremy "baby". Just the image it puts in his head, due to the age thing, he says. LOL!:D

Josh likes it when i call him 'baby boy'.....lol, go figure
Kristin 08-23-2005, 09:17 AM I dunno. "Baby boy" sounds better than "little guy" to me, but maybe that's cause I call Jeremy "baby" - but he calls me that, too.
lady_p 08-24-2005, 02:30 AM hehe...I know..but we tease each other all the time..usually I call him babykitten..lol..in Norwegian that is babypus..he just call me baby or sweetie.. ;)
we live some distance apart and the firt time he flew here i suggested that he got himself an UM(unaccompanied minor) badge so maybe he could get some extra attention from the stewardesses..hehe..I know I'm baaaad.. :D
he just retorted that he would order my zimmerframe asap..hehe..
but honestly..it's all in good fun..our problem is really his parents..especially his mum..any suggestions?? Do I buy her flowers? take her out? call her?? :confused:
joelstrouble 08-24-2005, 02:37 AM ummm... its really hard to say what you should do, what does she say about her son being with an OW?
I think that in most cases its smart not to push anything and wait until parents and other that may care sees how happy the two of you make each other.
lady_p 08-25-2005, 02:34 AM well she does not know as yet.. :confused:
not had the guts to tell her...hehe...his brothers know..and all his friends obvioulsy
they don't seem to mind at all..exept I did get this remark from one of his friends..well..as long as you don't make any longtime plans, then just have fun.. :(
my family are ok with it..my friends as well..hehe some of them keep asking me if he has any single cute friends.. :D
mmm flying over to see him tomorrow..yey
joelstrouble 08-25-2005, 01:54 PM I hope the two of you will have a great time together.
Don't worry about the mom... things will work out one way or another...
pishmish 08-30-2005, 05:53 AM his mum is ready to kill me slowly with a fork..any ideas?
Welcome to the forums. I think that a bullet proof vest may be sufficient protection against a slowly moving fork, alternatively you could hire Uri Geller (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uri_Geller) as a body guard if you're in need of serious fork protection.
Seriously though.... as Joelstrouble said things will work out, just give it a little time.
lady_p 08-31-2005, 01:55 AM hehe..uri geller..lol...
just came back yesterday after spending the weekend with him..sigh..
just getting better all the time :D
appreciate the advice and happy I found this site..
