Alrighty, I am 23 and Ahmad is 22. Ahmad had told his mother and sisters about me and my children before I ever went to Jordan the first time so when they saw me I suppose they were more than surprised. MIL said you have two kids, how old are you? As if it was shocking that I could even be thinking about children yet.

For the note on wrinkles I already have smile creases and a few crows feet, and I am happy I do because it means I am a happy person.

and for the subject of a starter wife, I don’t wish him to have had one but the experience would have been nice. This way “we can grow as a couple”. I on the other hand am happy I had a starter husband. I needed to know EXACTLY what I didn’t want.

I got my first gray a hair a week before my 28th B-day. :( It was a bummer if you can imagine.

Pull it out! Get some hair dye! Call 911! <Lucy from Peanuts running around> lol. Seriously though, it might just be a stray and you won't see another one for years to come. :-) I have blonde hair and once I found a totally black hair on my head. WEIRD. I pulled it out and never saw it again. :blink:

you too???

Every 6 months or so i look down and see that very very dark reddish brown hair that completely sticks out and is wirey and very hard.

I think that is my version of a gray...thank god i dont see many of them.

When he got here (Dec. 2006), he was 27 and I was 38. I think he did a great job of adjusting. Trust me, it wasn't always easy, but then again he had SO much to adjust to! Not just being here, but my three (wonderful, but challenging) children, and an ex who's goal seems to be to make us miserable (we won't let him though). Also, I'm still dealing with the ex legally (my high priced lawyer screwed up on the PSA), and we're still trying to settle some things, AND the ex is trying for full custody.

In Morocco, he often helped his family, so I wasn't surprised that he started helping out as soon as he got here. It was kind of funny - the first time I went over there, he acted like a 'typical' guy - we'd go downstairs, eat, and then he'd have us leave. He didn't do anything. The second time I went, I insisted on helping to carry things to the kitchen when we were done, at least. Over time, we helped more and more. I found out that he wanted to just visit with me at first, and that's why he didn't help out. I wondered if it was a line, even when he first got here - I thought maybe he was trying to impress me. But he's been here quite a while, and probably does more housework than I do most of the time.

I often forget about our age difference. First of all, many people think I'm younger than he is. Second of all, we just 'click' - I don't notice a difference in our attitudes and stuff. Like some people mentioned in other posts, we also don't party or anything. We're very happy to hang out around the house together.

Oh, a funny little story. When I was going over for the second visit, my dad got upset (I guess he figured the first time was just an excuse to see a new country or whatever) and said "he's 26, what are you going to do? change his diaper or something?" The way my dad is, I knew it wasn't a good idea to say "he's actually 27", and "or something" haha

Hey Paris, nice to see you :)

Timeline: 13 month long journey from filing to visa in hand

If you were lucky and got an approval and reunion with your loved one rather quickly; Please refrain from telling people who waited 6+ months just to get out of a service center to "chill out" or to "stop whining" It's insensitive,and unecessary. Once you walk a mile in their shoes you will understand and be heard.

Thanks!

I honestly think temperament is the key to some of these age gap relationships. Both of us are on the shy, quiet, serious side - in Nepal we enjoyed going to a dohori club sometimes but otherwise neither of us is the party type plus neither of us smokes or drinks. If he were what some people think is they typical '20something guy' who likes to bar-hop and party well then it wouldn't work out - we would rather go someplace peaceful and natural or stay home and watch the Discovery Channel. :thumbs:

Me and P all the way :)
