I’m gonna be honest, I’m not asking for a friend, I’m asking for myself. Our daughter (24) married this man (65) in September. She herself stated money was the main reason, and he knows it but it doesn’t bother him. Both my husband & I are having a very hard time getting used to the idea.

    It would be weird if he wasn’t wealthy. If he can’t follow the “half your age plus 7” rule that’s a sign of immaturity. Good luck for all of you.

      No, it wouldn’t be weird, it’s her decision. And the rule in general just seems immature for adults.

            Mutually consensual, absolutely of course! Just like any service one performs in exchange for money, like bus driving, prostitution, and marriage.
