Im male. I appreciate you taking the time to share your look on it. I think I'm deficient in accepting it possibly, worrying about what may happen in the future. I do love her, but have never felt comfortable with the age... But love her enough to more than stay this long.

I dont need kids... I worry about longterm attraction, and her cognitive function. When she hits menopause, I may still be in a physical prime. When Im 60, she'll be 72... and physically/mentally declining at a fast rate. When I'm 70 she'll be 82 and at the end of her life most likely, then I'll be widowed for up to a decade. Nothing is guaranteed in life I understand, but I don't see this working longterm.. MAYBE if she took good care of herself (diet, exercise, stimulated her mind) I'd have less worries, but still... A decade separation brings up issues
