I've noticed a recurring thing in recent posts and signature lines. It seems that a lot of female BS's are older than the WS, including me. My former WH is a little more than 2 years younger than me.<p>My question/poll is who is older, you or the WH and if you are the older one, what is the age difference.<p>Thanks!

me the BS is 11 months older than STBX, OW is around 12-15 years younger, not sure. AT Christmas OS thought OW was 32 which would make her 13 yrs younger than STBX<p>some people will do anything to feel young again but no he did not have MLC, OS thinks it is so funny that his dad doesn't think he had MCL, OS goes what does he think he had.

I'm not sure if age differences matter.<p>However, here's my stats:
WS is less than 2 years older than I am
Married almost 24 years
OW is 10 years younger than WS<p>My H and I are very close in age, we were HS sweethearts.<p>There may be some generational differences somewhere, but not in my case... if that provides a different perspective. But, posts I see here so far don't seem to indicate that either.<p>[ June 17, 2002: Message edited by: bluekeys ]</p>
