I was 18 when I met the man who would become my husband. He was 34. No, he was not a "creep." He'd been in a number of long-term relationships with women his age. That said, the sixteen year age difference has been very difficult in many ways - but 16 years is a lot more than 9 years. We have had some very rough times and separations in our marriage, but I believe that's due more to our personalities than to our age difference. When all is said and done, we've raised two children we are extremely proud of, and we've been married for about 40 years.
