I’m 25 & my hubby’s 70 -I’m scared he might die in his sleep & leave me alone with our toddler, but his love is worth it
A 25-YEAR-OLD woman who is married to a 70 year old man, has revealed that she is scared her husband will die in his sleep and leave her alone to care for their toddler.
Stefani, said that she loved Don from the moment she laid eyes on him, and added that she thinks everyone should date a man 45 years older than them.
The couple met five years ago, when Stefani was just 20 years old, after Don walked into the local pub where she was working.
“I just thought he was so handsome and he was charming and super flirty,” she told Love Don’t Judge.
“And I don’t know, it just made me happy.”
Don continued to come into the pub where Stefani worked, and romance soon blossomed between the pair.
Stefani said that her family were not impressed at all by the match, especially as Don is the same age as Stefani’s father.
“They thought I was making a mistake”, she said.
Stefani’s mum said : “I felt that Stephanie was losing out on a chance to meet somebody that she could grow old with, because she was with somebody who was already old.”
Stefani and Don have now been together for five years, married for a year and a half, and have a two year old son together named Lachlan.
The couple said that when they are out in public, people always assume that Lachlan is Don’s grandchild.
However, Stefani said she holds her husband’s hand proudly when they are out together.
“I really don’t care what people on the street say about it”, she said.
Stefani said that trolls always accuse her of being a gold digger and think that she is only in the relationship for an insurance check.
However, she said that the couple live in a house that her dad gave to her, and added that she works full time.
Don said that due to his age, a few of his friends have passed away recently.
