In terms of views on love, men are really loyal, no matter how old they are, they like 18-year-old girls.

Although the age gap between the old and the young is unavoidable, and people may point fingers, emotions are free, so as long as you’re happy, it doesn’t matter what others say.

Just like the famous scientist Yang Zhenning and his wife, Weng Fan, their May-December romance shocked the whole society, with a 54-year age difference.

But when outsiders didn’t look favorably on them, the two had already been together for 16 years.

However, not all May-December romances can be like Yang Zhenning and Weng Fan’s. Take 65-year-old Mr. Zhang, who married a beautiful young woman, but their life wasn’t as happy as imagined.

Mr. Zhang met his current wife when he was 61, and she was only 40. Although she was already middle-aged, there was still a significant age difference between them.

Both of them liked square dancing and cross-talk, and they often went to watch together. Over time, Mr. Zhang developed affection for his wife.

Mr. Zhang had been single for many years, and his children had already grown up and moved out. He wanted to find a companion.

However, he was only thinking about it, and he was afraid of what others would say, so he kept his feelings deep in his heart.

Until one day, his wife mentioned it, and they decided to live together. Mr. Zhang thought she was joking, but the next day, she really moved in.

Maybe this is what they say, that a young woman’s love is like Jack’s beanstalk, growing rapidly, and can reach the sky in one night.

As for Mr. Zhang’s May-December romance, his children opposed it, thinking it was unreliable. But Mr. Zhang, who was already in love, didn’t listen to anyone and insisted on marrying his wife.

To prove his love, Mr. Zhang even added his wife’s name to his property deed.

The two of them did live a happy life after marriage, but it didn’t last long. A year later, Mr. Zhang fell and broke his leg while taking a bath, and he needed his children to take care of him.

Within a few days, his wife became impatient, throwing bowls and chopsticks, expressing her dissatisfaction. She even started going out to play and wouldn’t cook for Mr. Zhang.

The two of them often quarreled, and it wasn’t until then that Mr. Zhang realized there were many problems between him and his wife, but it was too late.

Mr. Zhang thought about divorcing, but his wife wanted half of his property, so Mr. Zhang had to swallow his pride and accept this life.

So, for older people, when preparing to enter a May-December romance, they must think carefully and not be impulsive.

The Problem is Not Just Age

Maybe in many men’s eyes, the biggest problem with May-December romances is the age gap, but in reality, it’s not just about age.

There are often differences in values, economic views, and other perspectives, and these differences can be devastating and destroy a person’s life.

As the saying goes, “when words don’t match, it’s better to be quiet,” which means that when both parties have different perspectives, they will eventually have nothing to talk about, and that’s when the marriage reaches its end.

Although divorce seems simple now, it involves economic problems, which are the most troublesome.

Rather than getting stuck in these troublesome disputes in the remaining years of your life, it’s better to stop in time.

Health Should Not Be Underestimated

For older people, when looking for a partner, they hope to have someone to talk to, someone to take care of them when they’re sick, and someone to understand their needs.

These needs can only be understood by people of the same age, and it’s hard for younger people to understand the true needs of older people.

They might even feel that taking care of older people is too much trouble, especially when they’re sick and need help with everything, which can lead to resentment.

No one wants to live in a life where they’re looked down upon, even older people know that their situation can be easily disliked, but this is a natural human rule that can’t be changed.

Originally, everyone wanted their old age to be warm and cozy, but because of the problems with May-December romances, the temperature drops, and happiness disappears.

Spiritual Torture

Being with someone much younger might make older people feel like they’ve regained their youth, but this is just the passion of the early stages of love.

As time passes, the passion fades, and life returns to its original state, leaving only the mundane tasks, and the problems between the two parties will emerge, and conflicts will arise.

Because of the sedimentation of past years, older people are more understanding and tolerant, but younger women don’t understand, and they care more about their own feelings.

One person is constantly giving in and tolerating, the other is constantly taking and demanding, and eventually, the giver will be pushed to the corner and explode, and the taker will become more and more greedy. This kind of relationship is problematic from the start.

Men, don’t be foolish because of a momentary impulse; your brain will turn into a brick.

From the reality of most situations, the success rate of May-December romances is relatively low, and older people’s children usually oppose it.

Many older people, for the sake of their love, disregard their children’s feelings, and eventually, when the woman leaves, they lose their family relationships as well.

A wise person in love might be like a madman, but they won’t be foolish.

So, for this high-risk thing, men should not try it lightly, no matter from what angle you look at it!
