I have this uncle, who had a divorce. Then he met this girl. He is 63. This girl is 23. I have no problem with age differences. But this has gone to far. That is somewhat 40 years. That is nasty. I understand 20, or less, but 40, come on. He defentily does not look 60. He broke up with her for a 22 year. Myt uncle disguests me. My whole familly has no problem. I want him to be happy, but that happy, is to me just plain wrong. He also is verrrrrrrrry rich. These girls seem to like his money.He doesn't notice or get hurt. I am tired of seeing a young woman, that is only 2,3, or 4 years older then my sister who's 20. They could be my isters. That so nasty. I need peoples opinion on young + old = love/like relationaships.
I don't see why you're so grossed out when it doesn't really concern you. You shouldn't judge other people because what you think means nothing to them. [ pootietang's advice column | Ask pootietang A Question ]

But i think maybe in your uncles case (being that hes wealthy) the younger girls might just be into him for his money. Then again if they are truly happy together, then love knows no boundaries. Unfortunately though your uncle makes his own decisions and is entitled to make his own mistakes, honestly the best thing to do is if hes happy then just be happy for him, and see how things work out.
Hope that helps

I understand that if you are close to your uncle you have a hard time ignoring this, but yes as the other posters said, there's really nothing you can do. But it's okay to voice your opinion on it. Everyone is entitled to that much. [ Nallie's advice column | Ask Nallie A Question ]

I'm sorry, but there's nothing you can do but ignore it. It's not weird that all the younger girls are dating him. Sorry if this isn't the answer you wanted...goodluck.

Comrade answered Thursday July 10 2008, 5:00 pm: My opinion is that it's not anybody elses business who your uncle chooses to date or marry. He's an adult, and he can make his own choices without consulting anyone else (Other than the person he's dating/marrying, obviously).
