I have had a request to write the story of my love affair with Husband but I’m not sure whether to do so or not – mmmm! I think the 23 year age gap is a curiosity factor, especially since Husband was 41 and I was still a teenager when we first met. The story is rather romantic I suppose, and it is rather a gentle story in retrospect; at the time it was high drama – hehe!
Dilemma!

What a lovely idea. I would love to read it if you decide to write it. If not, then we’ll just have to make up our own version in our heads based on the tidbit you shared….oh the things we could come up with!!!
I better write it before you come up with a more interesting version – hehe!
I thought that I’d like to hear it when you mentioned it the other day. I didn’t want to be rude and ask you to tell it, but you totally should 🙂
Okay!
I have no doubt this would be a very good read Julie!! Go for it if it feels good to you:)
Okeydokey!
tell it! tell it! tell it!
Ha, I say that because I’m a total blabber mouth with no discretion or will power and am located across the world from you. If you were closer I’d say hush your typing fingers and come on over, the kettle is on! 23 years does make it all seem juicy, despite its gentleness.
Wish I could come over – hehe!
Romance, high drama, um… SUSPENSE! Aw c’mon do tell!
Pretty please? 😉

Maybe I will!
It’s always interesting to hear how people met. You can always gloss over the parts you want to keep private.
Yes, there will be no sex scenes!
I agree with ‘wordsfromanneli’. It’s always interesting to hear how couples meet.
I really enjoy a good love story, but like all great films, especially foreign films from years ago, I like the bits where she looks lovingly into his eyes……….. and then you see them having breakfast together.
Those private, intimate moments in between those 2 scenes should remain private for the couple concerned (& left for the reader or viewer to imagine).
Sometimes I think about the boyfriends I had when much younger and the interesting circumstances which surround some of those first encounters. My very first real boyfriend I met on a blind date.
No worries – the love story is definitely PG!
Although my marriage to my huband of almsot 42 yrs (next week) started when I too was 16 my guy was only 24. My mom should never have been so worried, she ended up loving the man I am spending eternity with.
I’m game, Jules, even though almost 10 yrs difference certainly gets trumped by 15 plus years I’ll tell my love affair story if you tell yours,
Which of us tells first?
Oh you go firs of course Jules. But I’m seriously game if you are. I think recalling the good and positive is a brilliant way for you (and me) to acknowledge the outstanding gift of the giys we were so blessed to have met.
I wonder if there is any way that is possibly more honoring than to tell the stories of the love of our lives.
Okay!!!
You could include the things you wish to share and keep the other things you don’t want to share private.
Good idea!
Do it!
Ha! Okay!
Sounds like a wonderful story. I had crushes on men when I was a teen & always wondered what it would have been like.
Yes, it’s a pretty interesting story – just a pity we are living out the sad ending (in terms of Husband’s health I mean); will probably do me good to write about happier times!
All of our endings are going to be sad. We say hello & good bye all our lives. Tell us of happy, romantic times

I would be VERY interested to read your story!
In that case I will do it!
Do it! It might make you happy by reliving (so to speak), Kettle’s on, let’s go! hehehe
Haha!
Ok. I’m looking forward to the story. I believe you are under the gun to write it now. 🙂 Not asking for any spicy details, just your perspective and maybe his, too, if he’s game. Thanks for considering writing your story.
I’m a bit nervous about it now but will do it – yes!
I’d love to read it. And I’m sure your husband would too.
I didn’t think of my husband reading it – yes, I think you are right and he would love it!
Whoa – not going to say anything either way on this one (but will most certainly read it if you do 😉 )
I asked you to tell us the story of how you met Anthony because I love to know how the Universe brings couples together and I want to know how you knew Anthony was the one for you even though you were so young and at the time he professed no interest. I love it that you still believe Husband to be your hero…..I want a hero too.
My last relationship which lasted 9 years was with a partner 24 years my junior. Sometimes we are led in ways that do not fit the societal norm and the telling of your story would help me keep my trust to follow my own path.
P.S. Not to add pressure but we need some more Novella too…..*smile*
It’s interesting that we both have experienced this ageist thing! I will write the story – and, oh yeah, better get back to the novella – you are a gemmmmmmmm!
Thanks for letting me camp out in your blog this evening. I had a great time, really enjoyed myself learning about you and your life, and tried to leave my campsite as clean as when I arrived.
You are very welcome camper!
