Is a 37 year age gap acceptable? The man is 57, the woman is 20, she cannot speak his language very well and he cannot speak her language at all.

This is not my situation, but something I've observed.

Mai phen rai...!!

Love conquers all obstacles.

Som nam na.

Extreme hopes are born from extreme misery.

She cannot cook, she is also fridgid, he is overweight, very overweight, with poor taste in clothes and eyewear, she has poor taste in men, she now lives in the UK, he has to work even longer to keep her happy.

You do hear some interesting stories whilst playing pool!

Your taste in football teams is admirable, but for the rest ....

I can see where OP wants this thread to go.

Glad you find Arsenal admirable, thank you.

Exactly right there, loneliness is a killer and laughter is a tonic!

Yeah loneliness is a killer but seeking a remedy in a girl 37 years his junior who can't even speak his lingo ??!!

He deserves everything he's evidently not getting.

The OP seems to explain a lot about the couple in question.

Maybe OP can explain how she managed to end up in UK with him?

Come on, give us a nice story.

I do understand what you are saying HS, but I have seen quite substantial age gaps in a relationship in Thailand and they do appear to work on occasions. There is a piece of the jigsaw out there for many of us eh!

How did she end up in the UK, I don't know, he had only spent about one month with her in just under a year. Lots of money probably helped. That's all of the story.

I thought I would share it, 57 and 20, seems a bit wrong to me, if you walked into my local pub, well, say no more!

I heard the story in Bangkok today.

So it's just something you heard?

Or observed, as you stated in your first post?

I have a few friends where such a situation has worked out well. But all are decent folk in genuine relationships, and also long term expats who live here. But if the forums are any indication, things frequently don't go so well for a lot of others. I think its the *genuine relationship* bit that a lot of people struggle with.

my friend is about 28 or 30 years older than his wife ,

they get along just fine

Observed by listening. But I have observed a few whilst sipping on my beer, but cannot comment on nature of the relationship as I do not know.

I don't know, is it to you?

I can't see how it's a moral issue, are you asking about if mainstream people back home might look askance?

87 and 17 would probably be of more concern, but IMO as long as it's not a problem with the local constabulary. . .

None of my business in any case.

And what's the point about her getting to the UK?

Seems to be rather gossipy and judgemental for a distant observation.

Age is not so much the thing, but if language is also a barrier, then it all comes down to ATM and SxS services. May be worth it for them both, at least they know what they are in that relationship for.

It just made me laugh, "mummy/daddy look at my new boyfriend/husband, is'nt he hansum"

i think the OP is a little jealous maybe.......

Nope, 100% not jealous!

Bernie Ecclestone and William Roache don't seem to have problems with the same situation !!

I have formula; the woman age should be 1/2 + or - 7 of the man.

She is right age

Very true, but they are loaded! It's acceptable if your a star, but if your not a star, then you come across as slightly seedy and dirty. Judgemental, yes it is!
