Good luck,Ed!My partner is chronologically 12 years younger than me, but we are passionate equals in all ways. He was previously married for eighteen years to a woman one year younger than me. That proved to be a very *unequal* relationship.
So, it can go either way... If you are both willing to work things through, give each other the benefit of the doubt, and be prepared for menopause [grin], you'll both go far together.
You both have my best wishes!
