An interesting case

That young lady (20ish) came to the city from a poor country town. After a year boarding at an acquaintance's place, (a mid 50ish high school teacher, his cheerful artist wife and his grown up children), a series of events happened: - The artist wife of that teacher happily moved out to be with her long-time lover, thanking that young lady for making her husband a happier man. - The grown up children of that teacher shrugged their shoulders, awaiting for their father to become a father again. - the young lady and the jaded teacher lived happily forever after. Yes, she was the one who got pregnant. What do you think of that? I know we should mind our own business, and let people mind theirs, but I have kept thinking about that case, wondering if that young lady would ever regret her decision in settling down with a man who was 30+ years older than her, out of gratitude. (I heard back then that she was determined to marry the man the moment his divorce was through.) It must be about 4 decades ago....

That is a long time ago..is this a true story? It is fascinating and yes, I wonder did they live happily after?

It is a true story OK. I so wanted to convince that young girl to think carefully, but by the time I met her, she was already expecting.

Maybe if they get along well this relationship could work.

The thought just hit me, that that man if alive, would have been in his 90s, whoa!

See? Love knows no age. Love is blind too. But it's sad that because of her the married couple separated. Though, the wife was just so happy about that and the children . . .oh, it's a sad fate of a family.

@josie_ So, in the end, each of the three adults became happy with the separation of the husband and wife.

@SIMPLYD _But the wife was already cheating on her husband. The children are all grown up and I assume independent. It's the young lady who is taking a gamble. Especially since she got pregnant.

@SIMPLYD yeah, sounds like that. But that bugged me. How could a middle aged couple keep staying with each other that long while the wife having a boyfriend, and sort of encourage a young girl to 'go on' with her husband, then thanked her nicely for making her husband happy. Can you understand that?

It is possible they will live happily until his demise. Then hopefully he has a big insurance she can cash in. Then she can remarry and live happily ever after again. Or perhaps he will not marry her and she will move on.

whoa, I didn't think of that aspect! You are good! (I suddenly remember the 3rd wife of Charles Bronson. This young wife of his gathered quite a bit when he passed away after their short marriage.)

Sometimes, age differences don't matter much, but that gap would not be for me.

I will whisper this to you, he was bald, tired looking and very senior to that young girl. But she was determined to be grateful to him THAT way (there was a committee at the time, with everyone wanted to stop her from being silly, but we failed... )

@YrNemo Thanks for filling me in. The young can be so headstrong at times. Sorry you failed. There was nothing more you could have done.

The lady would be in her 60's and the man in his 90's if he is still alive. You are not related by chance with any of the parties concern?

heheheh, no, I heard of the case only, and was curious. I saw her in passing however when visiting that boarding house for girls (she visited someone else at the same place at the time). Since she was avoiding many others, I figured out that she had no intention to talk to strangers like me.

@josie_ OMG I read one a couple of months ago and was a bit shocked... Too late for me to earn easy money that way . (I read a few cases, nurses or law students doing their studies, joined that site, paying a few hundred dollars a year for the annual membership, but got some gifts of a few thousand dollars - no string attached- from some rich and young daddies who wanted to sponsor them. So cool! )

Well did they live happily ever after? It sounds like his marriage wasn't happy and then both he and his wife were happy so I guess sometimes May /Dec works.

Who knows, may be she is happy no matter the difference in age and she will never regret what she did.

If she got involved with him out of gratitude, then that is actually sad. But since she fell pregnant I hope everything worked out for the best for them @YrNemo .
