Rick:
My friend, I was 20 and my wife was 16 and 2 days old when we married. We have been married for 62 years 8 months and 7 days. It was the best move I have ever made. We have 3 children, 6 grand children and 3 great grand children. I think that we will live to celebrate our 75th too.

Good evening and the very best to you and yours.

Congratulations!

Nothing unusual about your love story - in fact it was and is still cause to celebrate.

This Sgt. Drew Peterson liaison is quite different. Sex with minors by persons in a position of *authority* with an age difference of 30 years, is both unnatural and in all States, illegal (depending on the age of consent).

Congratulations. My wife and I have been married now for over 30 years. Working on the next 30. However, we’re a lot closer in age, one year apart. We had six children, lost one when she was only 6 days old.... long story there, bad surgery, bad doctors, bad MILITARY doctors then. Eleven grandkids (10 and one on the way).

This story is way different though, and the folks who instantly go off on young girls with older men stories are simply uninformed.

I’m sure there are a LOT of those kinds of marriages that do not end disaster or missing persons.

I am beginning to think, after this guy was married FOUR times, something wasn’t right at all at home. She’s missing. He’s a cop.

USUALLY that is a recipe for a bad story ending. Who better than a Cop to hide things?

If I was that girl’s father I’d have told her no way you are you marrying some 49 year old pervert. Those type of realationships do not end well.

Wonder if Oona O'Neill's father said something like that. (Of course, 99% of the time it's true...)

Update via wikipedia. "Eugene O'Neill was so incensed at the union (he had refused to give his consent so that Oona could marry Chaplin before her eighteenth birthday), that he cut her out of his life, refusing all attempts by her at a reconciliation." Chaplin was 54 and had been married 3x. The marriage to Oona lasted 35 years.

Wasn’t Chaplin a left-wing socialist. That alone would make me suspicious of the man.

[668 - Neighbor of the Beast]

Yes, you could say he was a political idiot.

There are always some exceptions to the rule. I’m sure we could find a number of winter, spring romances that work out. But by and large I’ve got to question a 30 years age difference.

I thought if you added up her friends and relatives it would amount to two.
