We are both 42

Submitted by FARRAH (United States), Jan 9, 2009 at 21:41

Shadae, We are both 42, married 2 days after his birthday. I pray that we do have one child but I worry a bit because of our age. We met online about 3 years ago, He just lived in another state, driving/train distance from me. We never slept together before marriage. And for a bit in the beginning he still lived in his state though we were married. He is very , very handsome, like those Frenchmen w/ the long thin moustaches circa 3 Musketeers era. Just a bit shorter than me. He is extrememly tight with $$, and NEVER do we spend . We don't even use the heater /air conditioner to keep bills low. So, that's VERY frustrating. I do feel pressure, pressure to work work work all the time. But...I am trying to learn French so that I can understand when he is talking to his family. All in all I have a great life. And it's all thanks to him. I will be converting to Islam because I do feel it's the religion for me. It's nice to be married. American guys , just don't want to do it. So that's why I searched elsewhere. Tell us more about you.

au revoir!
