Japan 08-09-2006, 09:36 AM ...just back from Italy. It was the best holiday EVER!
His mum and I clicked from the start - we had tears in our eyes when we hugged goodbye at the airport.
She said to my YM...."hold on to her. She's worth more than 10 youngsters!!" Jajajajajaja!!
Me and U have been more in love than ever (if that is possible) since we got back. He bought me a ring and even mentioned the 'M' word.
Just to update y'all!
Sigh. Am one happy bunny:D
kittylane 08-09-2006, 10:06 AM my mother in law had the same reaction to me, but she didnt mention the age thing, she was just shocked at how calm and content her son was.
she said many times that she never saw him so happy.
she is around 15 years older, i think it speaks volumes for these wemon, in my case i cant have more children and they sometimes close the door on grandchildren if they see their own children are happy.
maybe this is why our ym are so wonderful in the first place? they had exceptional mothers.

Nice thought, Kitty. Momma is 20 years older than me....
Her last words to us at the airport were "always respect and love each other"
She also told him privately that she was glad he found someone to love...
Loganic 08-09-2006, 11:08 AM I've actually been wondering at that. Mothers tend to have kids anywhere from teens to late 30s. I was wondering if there'd be any sort of discomfort if they're close to the same age or even how they'd react but I suppose I'm just being paranoid.
babybee 08-09-2006, 11:08 AM I'm so pleased for you Japan, where abouts in Italy is he from?:)
Japan 08-09-2006, 11:37 AM I'm so pleased for you Japan, where abouts in Italy is he from?:)
Sestri Levante - about 30 mins from Genova....
Loganic 08-09-2006, 11:38 AM oh, btw, I heard Italians are much better in bed, is that true? :P
good to hear you got along so splendidly
whiterose 08-09-2006, 12:56 PM Congratulations Japan! I am so happy for you that it went so well.

I am 4 years younger than my YM's mother and am 6 years older than his step-dad. I had more concerns about how they'd view me then they did. As long as he's happy is all that matters to them. But it makes for one wacky situation considering I was due yesterday with his first kid, lol.
(His mom married a guy 10 years younger, go mom! :D)
christina923 08-09-2006, 04:34 PM i am so glad it went so well!!!

i'm certain that there are mums that would not be cool with it, but, as we see here, there are mothers who would embrace the woman her son chose to love, regardless of her age. And in the end, it certainly is the choice of the man anyway…we all have to live our own lives!!
As a mother myself, when my daughter is older and has a boyfriend, as long as he has a good heart, only has eyes for her, and worships the ground she walks on, his age will be secondary, whether he’s older or younger.
Japan 08-10-2006, 04:11 AM Hey guys!
Thanks all. I got her an English tea set with shortbread and a pewter trinket box with a dragonfly on it. She loved it (sigh of relief).
Well, thanks everyone for your support - I have absolutely no fear about my relationship with my man regarding the agegap. We are just a normal couple who are deeply in love....!
oh, btw, I heard Italians are much better in bed, is that true? :P
good to hear you got along so splendidly
Was going to ignore this, but got annoyed. What a stupid, ignorant question to ask. Sorry mate, but you need to grow up and not ask bollocks like that, ffs.:mad:
(Rarely get annoyed by peeps on internet forums, but ignorance always winds me up).
Loganic 08-10-2006, 04:45 AM Sorry, I was making a bad joke on what a sterotypical Italian's supposed to be like, gracefully, sexy, and great in bed.
intime 08-16-2006, 01:04 PM Japan,
So happy to hear it went well.
Love and hugs to you!
Angel 08-16-2006, 04:59 PM Japan,
Love the present you brought her. Sounds absolutely perfect.
TrueHeart 08-16-2006, 05:28 PM Did you also meet his Dud?

Jeremy's step-mom is 10 years older than his dad. She basically raised him and his siblings and he calls her "mom." His dad is 6 years older than I am.
It really helps when the rents are in an AGR too! They can hardly be critical, LOL!
I tell my older son that I think he'll end up with an older woman, too. I can just see it. He's already been talking to a 19 year old local girl in one of his games - and he's 16. Mature beyond his years - especially with all of the responsibilities he had growing up taking care of his disabled father. He won't deal well with siily, superficial women, I'm sure.
special K 08-16-2006, 08:12 PM So Happy for you, JAPAN !!!!
And, for the record...my ym's mom is one year YOUNGER than I am....but loves us being together and has from the start. His dad and I are the same age, and he just calls me "darlin", winks at me when we meet at family gatherings and tells J he's lucky and better hang on to me. It's weird, but I still feel like they are older, like typical-aged parents of a same age bf. Oh well, I'm not going to analyze it, just be grateful for it.:D
I'm so happy for you! I'm sure the fact that you were so well accepted by his mom bodes well for your future together and seals the deal so to speak! Couldn't happen to a nicer woman.
Japan 08-17-2006, 07:11 AM Thanks loads...felt all warm & fuzzy seeing messages from you lot. Sorry Loganic for sounding stroppy, I obviously took your message the wrong way.
His Dad...died when he was 76 two years ago (mum had OM - 14 years age gap).
I miss his mum! And Italy... but we should be going back at Xmas! Yay!!! His mum always asks after me when she calls..wait! Here's a photo:
Me emerging sexily (har har! was spitting salt) from the sea

Ciao for now!
Japan 08-17-2006, 07:21 AM Oh yeah.
My darling also gets on really well with my mum. He's painting her house today...
Mum is married to a ym! Yeah for her! She is 66 this year, hubby is 56.

Bless!
His mum is 20 years older. She could be either a parent OR a friend of mine. But I felt that she was definitely the mum...all that cooking and taking care of me...she said at the airport that she felt she had been a mum to me......
