This documentary ventures into the world of age-gap dating, where we meet older women with a taste for the much younger man. Produced for Channel 5 by Nine Lives media. #atruestory #agegaplove
I'm a senior now and been single for 13 years. I often think back in time, to my youth. I was 23 and fell in love with a 65 year old man. Oh, he was so wonderful. We lived together for years. He had blood cancer and left me eventually. My heart was terribly broken. I still miss him and mourn his death. He would be 105 or so. It was true love for me. I still have the poems he wrote for me.
I'm 16 yrs older than my husband. People were so angry we were together. I'm sure they all gave it 6 months. We are celebrating our26 th wedding anniversary this months. We have 1 daughter together26 years old. He stayed by my side constantly while I battled cancer! He's as gift from God
if he married her @ 20 then she is now 36+16+26=78 (guessing that she gave birth immediately after the marriage). she might be older than this but i guess she might mistakenly wrote the numbers@@wheatstonebridge
I'm 14 years older than my husband, and we have the most normal, emotionally healthy relationship. He's my best friend and enables me to be the best me I can be. Hope you're doing well.
When I was 47 I was dating a 21 year old guy and before I knew it he wanted to get married... I thought about it and I said no because I felt it wasn't fair to him. He took it very hard but he finally got on with his life and I'm happy for him. I'm older now and I've been alone since 2015 I still have hope for a relationship with someone who appreciates me for me. Good luck to everyone looking for love 💕
Since I separated from a long marriage at 31, I did NIOT want another one. I have 2 gorgeous sons. Concentrate on yourselves, men and women are completely different. How many Sexpats in Filipino country and Thailand are female? Yep ,,,none
Unemployed Michelle, flies out to Tunisia as often as she can. I work 40+hrs per week and haven't had a holiday in years. I'm doing sumat wrong. I also think her bloke is in it for the Passport.
@Glamrockqueen. Yes, I’m sure everyone wondered where the money to fly came from since this. Woman doesn’t work. It’s none of my business but I’d wonder why she’s not working. I also immediately thought- passport marriage. The difference l see here is a lot of kissing! Something he has no obligation to do.
I was very happily married for 40 years to my wife who was 14 yrs older than me, I lost her to Alzheimer's 3 years ago, if I could do it all over I wouldn't change a thing
@somali_lion_84 Thanks for such a nice reply, I have a niece that has been married for 13 years, her husband is 36 years older than her, she's told me many times it's been the best 13 years of her life
I gotta be cheeky and just say that my gut tells me that the English lady with the Tunisian dude is probably going to end up on the : Love Rats show... 🤷🤦♀️😬
We also say that enjoy young with high fly,, rather settle with old hag lady with extra baggage of their children ,,but they put us with label of misyoginist
Tunisian guy as soon as I saw him I thought here we go again wants money chasing a passport more big heartache in a few years. Will these woman ever learn its all one big act.
I'm happy for them. My dear, sadly deceased partner was in her mid-70s and I was in my mid-40s when we were a couple. Neither of us was put off by the age gap. I'd gladly date another older lady.
I've been with my wife for 43 years. Some thought it would not work, not because of age, but because we are of different races. But our whole relationship has been based on love and respect, even during the ups and downs. If these folks can find that in their relationship, then nothing that the outside world thinks matters.
I was in an age gap relationship with my ex husband who also is white and I’m mixed/black. We had two children. The relationship broke down for multiple reasons but the age wasn’t the main issue. It wasn’t a huge gap, 10 years, however he looks older than his age and I look younger than mine, and some people thought he was my dad! I’m now in a relationship with someone my age and it feels more equal and more respectful. He’s also white. I don’t care what people think about that - we’re beautiful together.
I'm happy for you, in general it's ignorant people that can't accept that love doesn't care about age, race, religion etc. It's about love, respect, kindness and loyalty.
@@DarioAlvarez-lx4ev Sheesh ! Relax, mate ! Unbind your knickers! Overall it's about difference and acceptance, init? And I can relate first hand, thus my comment. So my post is a "supportive interjection", in this case, for those who face criticism because of whom they love, difference be damned. You don't accept my comment, because it's "different", eh? .O.k. Done. I can't help but see the irony. Cheers🍺
What blows my mind is that young girl getting treated for pain at her young age. John is so nice and kind to her and so as long as she's happy it doesn't matter. Live your life in love and laughter and don't worry about what anyone thinks because it's your life.
The photos She showed the camera before She flew over to see Him said it all. He faces the camera body turned away from Her I see no chemistry and bonding at all. Okay some people don't like having their photo taken some don't smile but there should be some kind of signal given in a photo that says the people in the image are happy together.
I'm always confused about how you can be a Christian one moment and then another moment reject Jesus.? Like a Christian that marries a Jewish person, how can you reject Jesus for another human? I could not give up Jesus for any human. Eternity is forever like God and Jesus are.
A lot of negative comments about the Tunisian man. Michelle is unemployed, searched for a brown skin man, and she said she wants the sex. She's in the relationship for all the wrong reasons also. Sad 😔
Yeh, I wouldn’t be happy if it was my daughter, but if she said all the things he said that she said in the car on their first night, well it seems she knew what she wanted and was experienced enough to ask for it
@@maidinulsterbut she is still a child and he’s the adult. So its nothing more then a pedophile!!! Her brain is still growing at that age. She may seem grow up but she isn’t. It makes me so mad 👿👿.
A joyful and uplifting set of age gap love stories. I particularly enjoyed following Peter's and Ebony's. There can never be too much love in this world.
Yeah it does look less strange if the people are at least equally attractive like that. The guy from Tunesia is obviously just in it to get a brittish pasport.
@@wanishabirahmad9268 What, marrying old women for a little while to get papers? They divorce as soon as the guy gets what he wanted. That's not love, and many guys from tunesia and turkey, marroco, egypt try it. The vacation places are famous for it.
@@Iflie nowadays girls likes to make relationship With old mens.. If they both are intrested in each other. Then no problem. . I am below 30.. If I get older women upto 40. I will accept it .but here in india.. People are marrying with same age
I can see problems ahead for the woman and the Tunisian man. It’s my understanding that having children is very important in his culture. So unless he takes a second younger wife to bear him children, this probably won’t work. Just saying. And the musicians should keep their day job (or get one). He’s not that bad but she needs some work.
Free cookies if you made it through one "song". Singing? No, my cats sing better than that, with or without a rocking chair on their tails. They can hit the high notes with the chair, though.
OMG, I don't know Rock that well so I thought maybe that's good singing in that genre; but from the comments, I see that what I thought was terrible sounding was just that! Horrible! She sounded like a cat when you mistakenly step on their tail.
Very best to all the couples, the only couple I would be concerned about is Michelle and Mesbeh,,,. mmm not sure, hope he isn't dating her just to gain entry into the UK!! the expression on Mesbeh's mum's face.. says it all!
My partner is 83 and Im 42, we have been together for 14 years. Things were great until health issues changed things. Now we visit cardiologist, neurologist, urologist more than we go out to eat together.
I’m so sorry for Sylvia. So many marriages are destroyed under those circumstances. Grief is devastating, crippling. We lost a son too but by the Grace of God we are still together. I’m heartbroken for Sylvia and his father Hats off to Judy. What a loving woman
LOL, when the voice over said their "adoring public were pouring in the door of the record shop". 3 butts in the seats. 2 of whom looked to be getting in out of bad weather, the other appeared confused because the crowd overwhelmed them. I guess.
Every couple looks genuine and will be together life long - except Tunisian guy. He will want children - and another wife later on. She was rather rude to his mum not putting a little couscous in her mouth, and smoking etc she seems very " rough", not lady. I have to agree that he may have no genuine intentions- hes very poor. He didn't look in love - it's terrible what POVERTY forces people to do. I pity her a bit too - shes fragile and will be heartbroken if and when he leaves her. Soon as they're married MOST likely. But I hope I'm wrong. Every one deserves love and age is meaningless- sometimes an age gap is a blessing.
I agree except I don't think his family in Tunisia are living in poverty. They seem quite middle class to me, we should be careful about applying our overdeveloped, western ideals to other countries.
I met my husband when I was 20 and he 39. I never planned to be with someone so much older than me and was not attracted older men. I know that 39 is not old but it meant 19 years od gap between us, I did not jump head on but I knew he was my other half. That was 19 years ago and today we are as strong as ever, have 2 beautiful boys and I would choose him over and over again. Love is blind but it is important to make sure that the pros and cons are measured and decisions are taken ready to face possible consequences on the long term. My life is full and even if there is a big chance that we might depart this world before me, I would have lived my life loving and being loved by an amazing person. I would not have any other way.
I met him when he was 39 which is not an old age but I was 20. Due to my life experience I grew up very quickly. I was financially independent since I was 16 and was in my 2nd year of Bachelor's in Architecture when I met him. He is a designer and I always say that we had an intellectual attraction to one another. We love the same kind of art, enjoy the same kind of reading, have a lot of common interests. He has been the first and only man I have ever kissed and consider myself lucky.
Good for them, they're cute. I have a 26 year gap with my amazing boyfriend and we're going strong for 5 years now. We met at 25 and 51. Couldn't imagine going through life with anyone else; he's my soulmate. We just started a channel about it actually.
Thank you Alex, sometimes I wish I could drag half of the people who say weird things about age gap relationships .... I was just watching the news just now , a 9 year old gave birth ....🫣🤫
I have been to Tunisia and there were many middle aged mothers with much younger men. Some of them were grandmothers with teenaged husbands. The Tunisian men are only after visas, passports and money. I would be surprised if the Tunisian man in this documentary is any different. There are also many cases of foreign wives being mistreated in Tunisia when they marry a Tunisian man and move over there. I had a Tunisian man who wanted to marry me and he said if I visited him I would be locked away in my own room at his house. We never had a relationship but he tried to chat me up online. Sorry but I have to say don't trust Tunisian men. It's always young men after older women. Turkish men are the same.
What a lovely video I started watching with a very judgmental option , and these people completely changed my mind, thank you, and best wishes to you all
In the U.K. most unemployed people receive reasonable financial support. They also legally have to prove they are actively looking for work. The same for the chronically ill.
When I was in my 20's I met a gorgeous Turkish man but he never stopped going on about marriage and singing that song 'I want to wake up beside you '. He wouldn't listen to me saying I wanted to be 100% sure when I got married. I met a nice man and one night I saw him. He was married and said "well I asked you".
Yeah! Sad but true and these guys don’t have a heart for lonely women, just a way out.. just quietly some women should look in the mirror and give it a long hard thought.. scam? I know that sounds awful.. sorry 😐
awww they all seem so happy and grounded ...I want Love now and its given me a bit of hope ! ..all the best to human beings we deserve support and love .
DEEP PURPLE is classic and talent. Well they were. I hope those two don't think they are a tribute band, because DP would probably sue them for slander, fraud and REALLY BAD imitation of art. Caterwauling scold, that broad. DUDE needs to turn his amp up, really, really loud. (And unplug her mic...
Jo was right. People the same age wouldn’t understand. Most of my exes were close to my age or my age, and they were horrible people; barely lasted a couple months. But I’ve been with my current bf for 9 almost 10 months and we have a 7 year age gap, it’s not huge, but he’s the best partner I’ve ever had. I love him more than words can say and I’m so lucky I met him.
Aw I love the kid's name, Gillan ❤️... they seem well suited.... my partner is ten years older than me... been together twelve years....I think the Tunisian guy won't last...I think if she's honest she knows that.. it's an arrangement that's all. she doesn't look good for 51 .
I think love is always great and I'm happy for anyone who's in a healthy relationship, but I think that it's a bit sad that they will miss out on getting to go through those early milestones together as a team. I am ignorant, of course, because I haven't been through life yet, and maybe there are still a lot of milestones that they can both experience for the first time together that I am not thinking about. My husband and I are only at the beginning as we are about to begin the immigration process, then get our first apartment (both of us have always lived at home,) etc etc. and it's the greatest joy in my life and my reason to wake up because I know my husband and I are in this together and we are sharing all of our firsts.
i hope you fnd a differnt reason to wake up, but that hes wonderful and youre wonderful. And yes, look at that girl with the black hair who went off the rails over the husband of her boyfriend's mum..she waited and she found love.. and she had the son.. so i guess those milestones you mentioned dont matter..
For me is disturbing the relantionship between the 16 years old and 48 years old man that had sex in the car the first time. She was ONLY 16! But they seem they love each other and they are a beautiful couple
@@gudrunbruemllst4172 by the time you’re ‘legal’ you should be capable of consent and navigating life and relationships in the adult world. If you’re not then your parents need to take a long hard look at themselves. That’s our one job as parents. To have or children ready for adulthood by the time they reach it.
Omg sorry but her going with the Tunisian guy needs her head looked at . Those guys would go with a one legged horse . As for a 48 year old man going with a 16 year old girl !! Outright disgusting 🤢
I thought the same thing!! I watched the episode that you're thinking of this morning. But didn't he have an arrest warrant out for him in Tunisia? I presume he just looks similar to the person who we are thinking of, but who knows....
Regardless of age, life is far to short to be alone! I fecked up with my love, I did what I thought was right for us! That was my mistake, I have to live with that! I wish all these beautiful people many years of love and happiness ♥️
I just know the Tunisian guy's mother is thinking that her son might get into England, make money, and help to get them all there or send money home. His mother would know it's a plan and a crock. Also on another note, women with kids wont find anyone willing to take on someone else's kids as a rule. One thing appreciated in this though were the couples (a few) who didn't talk filthy.
I think age differences work. My husband is 9 yrs older than me but we live life the same and live day to day life the same . You can't judge as everyone is unique.
@@beatles925 I was looking for this response. I was making sure I heard it right…16 years old!!!! 😮 I would have killed this guy with my bare hands if a dirty old man approached my teenage daughter.
i love hearing these stories. me and my husband have 22 yrs gap. he is definitely my soul mate, the love of a lifetime. for this i think age should not be a issue
I am happy to see successful relationships with big age gap because I am one of those too. I'm 27 and my boyfriend is 49, Ive never been happier and feel secure in a relationship before him. He's my treasure and I can't wait to be with him. He's living in the UK and I'm from Philippines. Love does not measure by distance ☺️
Age doesn't matter anything If one has to do relationship., he doesn't care about anything , just go and do. yes.. Love needs caring building trust upon each other..it doesn't caste creed.colour ur messages shows your interest maturness. And good lovers for each other.. just one message is enough to show your real love..
I always think these young people marrying elder guys is because they had a bitter past. Either their parents were rude or her earlier partner was cold. A hurt human being seeks comfort more than fun and popularity. Our wotld can be cruel to some unlucky people.
These relationships are consensual. They are consenting adults & have the right to be happy like everyone else. Not critisizing your right to your opinion but try to open your mind & dont be "traumatised" by people in love Veronica. Happy weekend🙂
On my god! She was 16… y’all need to stop saying that it’s love. I suppose if an 11 year old marries a man of 70 because they’re in love ya’ll think that’s normal right.
