Many women marry old men cos they are financially more established.

However, the younger wives are expected to take care of their husbands at old age..like a maid.
Yeah usually women will think of this.

Did you marry an older man? Age gap around 6 to 10 years or above. How is it like? Do you find it boring or you are always expected to listen to him?
A marriage is an equal partnership.

want to "x listen to y; y listen to x", might as well go rear a dog.

thank you.

i find due to generation gap, hard to communicate… my parents don’t understand why i do things certain way and i also can’t understand why they do things their ways

My friend is 20 years old Singaporean girl from wealthy background. Engaged to a 35 years old Singaporean. Her parents only 42 years old. Lol.

what about the other way

how is it like for the older man to marry a much younger woman

can he tahan the looks from others thinking that he is a tikopeh when he goes out with the girl

if the girl has an elder brother who is younger than him, does he feel awkward when the brother calls him 妹夫

if each side parents are 15-20 years or age apart, when the in-laws meet during festive ocassions, will the elderly feel awkward too
Hahaha my brother in law younger than me but looks older than me. Should be fine la.just use name to address each other lor.

Always expected to listen to him all the time isn't a factor of an older partner... It's just his personality and the behavior you reinforce by your interaction...

On the other hand... 99% of the time, the dynamics usually change after marriage... Wife will talk and hubby expected to listen all the time... :s34::s13:

Ditto this, doesn’t matter if husband is older by 10yrs, same age or younger by 10yrs :s13:

I don’t usually pay attention to others when out with my wife so doesn’t matter what other ppl might think.

My younger sister has a similar age gap with her husband and despite me being younger, it had never been an issue.

Elders are always awkward simply because they don’t really interact so much after all.
