My husband is 16 years older than me. I've been told frequently it's weird or worse. We were both adults when we met, so I just accept whatever people want to say. I'm going to stay with him so it doesn't matter if they find it weird.
I caught some flak because my husband is 8 years younger. I reminded my family that they let my mom get married off at 14, and nobody brings it up anymore. Tennessee (USA), if you're wondering.
Chances are very high you won't stay with him. Not because of age, but because most marriages run their course and end. Its just natural.
I've been with him 17 years, so we'll see.
