Combine this thread with this thread.

Shake well.

For the record, we move in together on Saturday.

Wish us luck.

I totally deny having started this or the two aforementioned threads.

Strange post, but all the best.

Good luck and hope that you're both very happy together.

For some reason, I thought you were older than 32, Ed. Congratulations and are we ever to know which Mudcatter "she" is?

I'll take the age thing as a compliment - not that you know anything about me.

As for she, never been near mudcat.

It's kind of scary having you tell me that you've known who I am all along!

I knew he was 32, because he was born on the very same day that "Your Mother Should Know" was recorded by The Beatles.

Jeeez MBo!!!

You are completely correct, of course.

I'm somewhat spooked that you recognised / remembered!

Of course I remember!

I also remember not to correct your spelling of "millennium" anytime in the future!

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!

'millennium' spelling? don't remember that, don't wish to either.

Right now I just feel like quoting Crosby, Stills and Nash:

"Our house Is a very, very fine house With two cats in the yard Life used to be so hard Now everything is easy 'cause of you"

Thanks, Jande.

From what you say, your experience is close to ours.

I have every intention of working at it, and whilst it may be more 'difficult' than a 'conventional' relationship, we go in with a big advantage.

Yeah, you told me I was the last person in the world you'd want to hang around with!

Good luck to you!! From one guy in love to another. Remember me next time you and the beloved go to Mr.Sifter.

mbo, i may have said that - who knows.

i didn't mean it - sorry to disappoint you, but it's unlikely that we'll ever go to sifters together

"I have every intention of working at it, and whilst it may be more 'difficult' than a 'conventional' relationship, we go in with a big advantage."

Care to elucidate, Ed? ;`) (my partner wanted to know if you meant what he thinks you meant [chuckle])

MattR... James and I have agreed that it's more like age 7 most of the time! You know...? That age when life is still magical! [grin]

Ed, I don't think you have hit a Mudcat Record yet.....I think there is a Mudcat couple that is about 33 years apart.......

Age will not be a problem. Now her not being a Mudcatter That could be serious *GRIN*.

Just get on with loving each other and don't be such a worrywart. Everything will be just fine.

Maybe you better check, now and then, and make sure there are no mysterious containers in your refrigerator, i.e., no green and yellar eels.

"Conventional" relationship? You're both from the same planet? Good. Same species? Even better.
(The lyrics of "Space Girl's Lament", "Eddystone Light", and the "Moose Song" are now going through my brain in rapid succession.)

In answer to your question, Ed, Mudcat advice can sometimes get us to wonderful places--health & sanity among them. I've requested support & information a couple of times in rather stressful situations--when my son was wrongfully accused at school once &, recently, when I had a scare at work. Hearing the opinions of thinking people who care about me has been a great deal of help. Thanks, friends!
