Do you look older than your husband?

My husband and I met another couple and chit chatted for a while. My husband had never met either person before. When we left he asked how old were they. I told him I didn't know. Well, he then says "She looks older than him!" I agreed. I said it seems that they have been together for a while because they have two children but I am not sure if she is older or it just looks that way. It got me to thinking.....is looking older than your husband a bad thing? We didn't talk anymore about it, but just the fact he asked me that made me wonder. Do you want your wife to look younger than you? Do you want to look younger than your husband? I think I kinda do (want to look younger). No one has ever told me I look older than my husband, but I think I might feel some kinda way about that, especially since I am 2 years younger than him. I am not saying that it's a bad thing to look older than your man, especially since we are in an age where more older women are dating & marrying younger men. I am just asking, would it bother you if someone made that comment?

This is why most aging women rely on plastic surgery. Procedures such as these make them look younger, or at least boost their confidence to make them feel beautiful despite their age. :)

Yes it sometimes stings! I am 3 years older than my hubby and i am, uhmmm, a little chubbier than he is, which adds to me looking older than him and what my real age is. His friends, our colleagues (yeah we work for the same company), actually ... everyone says "She looks older." But I know he loves me just the way I am. He's got a thing with older women ever since, actually, his first crush is his primary teacher....lol.... BTW, I am his first and last GF. am I not lucky?...and I love him with all my heart so I choose not to think about me looking older than him too much...
