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
Wow! It seems so long ago since we made the programme! 😍 We're both very happy to tell you all that after more than 13 years we are still together, blissfully happy in our own home with a Jack Russell to keep us on our toes, and loving the acceptance we now have from our families on both sides 🤗 Thanks to everyone who made those nice comments, and, as always, to those whose comments centered on my weight and other negatives, we'll just say. L.A.F.W.!! 😉🤗😍 Richard and Immy 💖
It's not the age gap that bothers me. It's when it turns into parenting rather than a partnership that creeps me out. The way Pat is ordering him about and speaking for him gives me a weird vibe. Especially when she mentioned he'd never had experience. It sounded like she was kind of mocking him and I know she's had a few hubby's but to not even remember their names?! That's just hurrendous James just reminds me of a guy that never grew out of his "15 year old gamer" phase and he just needs someone to aid that.
This is so sad for james parents i'm sure. You protect your children from preditors their whole life, to then have one come in after the time that you can't protect them. This women is a disgusting narcissistic sociopath. She acts like she is some kind of saint, Sick!!!!
I didn't want to say it. Also I might be wrong about James being maybe a little mentally disabled. And that shes taking advantage of that.. Kind of disturbing
Not being funny but...what happened to the other 8 husbands, was infidelity involved? Did they all die unexpectedly? I think I would want to know if I was going to marry someone who had been married so many times. And poor Mark, he does seem like he may have some learning issues, bless him. Feel like he's been taken advantage of in a way.
My partner is 19 years younger than I am. I met him when he was 29 and I was 48. We’ve been together now 6 years. I’m 54 and he’s 35. I was very nervous meeting his parents because they’re just 12 years older than I am but we get along really well together and they don’t mind. They said I’m the first woman he’s dated that has her own money, doesn’t require his attention 24/7, doesn’t get jealous and we have no drama. I get him to try new things and he keeps me young. But I must say, I’m Asian and look 38 so people can’t tell we have an age gap. We run 6 miles a day and spend 2 hours at the gym 6 days a week. We go hiking, climbing, camping, hunting, skiing, golfing, dancing… we have a full and happy life. I used to worry about what people thought. Now I I don’t care. ❤
@@Myraisins1 I have 2 kids, he had one. He got a vasectomy, we don’t want anymore children. I wouldn’t have another baby even if I could. Not for all the money on earth 🤣
The poor cattle . Being shoved in a truck , poked with an electric cattle prodder, only to have their throats slit , while their relatives stand there watching
I totally caught that too! I thought it was pretty gross, not to mention entirely illegal, that they got together when she was only 17 & he was almost 44 y.o. Then she thought she would say she was 19 when they first met each other. Like the general public can't add & subtract or something. No wonder her family will not associate with them & they prefer to hide away from everyone they know.
Pat has serious problems, i can understand why marks parents were against this, she has been married 9 times and he is slow. Glad he is not my son otherwise pats backside would have been bouncing down my front steps.
Big talk but you wouldn't get away with your aggressive assault on someone."Slow"or not,Mark is an adult,and can do what he likes.So keep your violence to yourself.
Hubby & I have almost 18 years between us. Everyone said it will never last. Here we are thirty years later & still say we love each other at least four times a day. Age is just a number.
I don't think age is just a number, your age gap has worked for you, but if everyone thought it was acceptable for a 50 year old man, for instance, to have sex with a 13 year old then that's completely unacceptable, age matters.
When James makes that stupid voice noise when saying "i love you" is enough to want me to knock him into nexr week. Good god he needs a baby sitter not a girlfriend 🙄 . As for Pat she is talking to him as if she is he is her son. Personally i dont think his family care about the age difference it would be more about how she is as a person and i think she comes across as a controlling user. Just my opinion but my gut tells me im right.😢
Holy crap your comment is brutal however you are correct though and tbh I don't think pat and James relationship will last though, I give them about 2 months tops
Pat the rat is definitely a control freak, been married 8 times before….red flags galore there! Mark is her lil whipping boy, I can see why his parents didn’t attend the wedding
Mark seems a bit slow, in which case he probably doesn't even have the mental capacity to question why his missus has been married so many times. She might even be taking advantage of that.
@@tessrobin4548who isn’t at the beginning of the relationship ?? Studies by law firms show marriages with a 20 year age gap have a divorce rate of 95 % When the gap is 30 years or more the chance is 167 %
Regardless of age, the ones that give me most hope are the couples that really like each other & who appreciate what their partner has brought to their lives. For eg, James put enormous effort into his proposal because Yet Wha means so much to him. He talks in terms of how much she’s bettered him as a man & you can see he truly admires & appreciates her. Age isn’t the issue, true respect, friendship & commitment are & are critical to a couple’s success. If you’re good friends who also happen to passionately love each other, I think you’ve got a better than average chance at success!
There is a 12-year age gap between my husband and me. I am 59 and he is almost 47. We love each other and that's all that matters to us. We have been married for 25 years and together for 26.
@@becksgroom49 15 years is still possible, but not 30 or 40 years that is even disgusting !! what is possible devide age of oldest by 2 and add 7 years that is the minimum age. So when you are 50 she may be 32y. I am 15 years older than my partner too.
She seems all about it though? Also they are laughing about him not being a sugar daddy but she also doesn’t need to work she just lives off of his income right?
Is it just me, or is there something odd with Pat and Mark? Anyway, I think if you really love someone and you are adults, go for it! True love is beautiful!
I mean if he’s not able to make an informed decision- it’s wrong. She’s been married EIGHT times and could not remember their names. Not quickly forgotten- she literally couldn’t remember lol. I think she’s odd
@@chadshillAwww is that y’all? You guys are too lovely. 🥰. I hope your days are filled with love and laughter and from the bottom of my heart I genuinely wish you nothing but joy 🥰 🌈
I fell head over heals in love with a 55 year old man when I was 32 years old. I never had a preference for older men. Most of the men I dated were usually 3-7 years younger than me. I was always accused of being a gold digger from others but he wasn't wealthy at all. It didn't last, but the breakup had nothing to do with the age gap. I think it may seem unusual but you can't predict who you will love and sometimes that love can be met with hostility by people committed to societal norms.
She says she doesn’t remember all there names if they are as intelligent as number 9 I’m not surprised I would forget them scratch that I wouldn’t have married them in the first place but some people just can’t live themselves and therefore tend to take what they can get and as a result they end up with a lower intellectual specimen as these people need a mother not a partner and no one of there own age would take them on thank god they can’t procreate
I have a 31 year old special needs son he's mentally disabled but you can't tell just by looking at him. Mark reminds me exactly of my son. He even does the same thing with his tongue when he focuses on something. I guess the good thing about Pat and Mark is Mark can't get her pregnant. She's not after his money she's just wanting companionship I think. And his mother I'm sure is not happy she feels like an old lady is taking advantage of her special needs son. But really he has someone to take care of him to show him things to make sure he eats and bathes and all of that good stuff she's taking care of Mark. So Mark's mom can relax I know it's easier said than done. I have never liked a single girlfriend that my son has had. And that's just because with his cognitive disabilities he just doesn't know any better thats all. So I try to stay out of the way when it comes to his girlfriends but sometimes it's absolutely impossible and I have to speak up when they're just way way out there with their behavior or what they're saying I hope Mark and Pat Atlanta's last for a while I think it's good that they both have someone to keep them company and help each other. I don't think it's love I don't think Mark even knows what that means really. And after 8:00 marriages I don't think Pat does either but as long as they're not mean to each other or hurt each other then it's really not hurting anyone
Thank you for uploading yhis, i remember watxhing this documentary ages ago but couldnt find it when i searched. Happy to see someone archived it thank you!
**SPOILER** I can't think of anything worse than popping that GIANT question in front of a load of people. I wonder how old this is and where are they now?
Asian women are usually taught at a young age to look after and cater to their husband but god she will have to have the patience of a saint to take him on this guy lives on cloud cuckoo land plus he’s so annoying
Love the cattle trucking couple .think they are a great match and they both have an amazing sense of humor . Wish them many years of happiness and love .from the UK
I am not good in maths but I must be missing something. Six years ago she would be 17 ,,but you never know with these new generation things must have changed and I am too old to keep up
Poor Bob and Kelly .they seem nice together. And Bob is thinking about her future . That's a really nice thing for him to do. He's thinking about her having babies and a family of her own. The saying if you love someone set them free comes to mind . He knows he's too old to have anymore kids with her . These are the things people don't think about when going into these relationships
The math isnt adding up with Liz & Richard. She’s 23. She said they’d been married for a year and dating for 7. Which means she was 16. But then she said she met him when she was 19…NONE of that adds up at all!!!🧐🧐🧐
Age isn't just a number, pedophiles use that excuse. Age gap love is appropriate when there are two consenting adults whose mental capacities and values align.
I am 52 and I have had age gap relationships that have gone both ways. Sometimes I am older by mire then 10 years. Other times they are older by more then ten. I am casually dating someone 20 years older then me, and we are having a lot of fun.
Well, guess what Marilyn? I did, once my steroid treatments had finished I easily managed to drop those extra kilos.. Whilst we're into personal and not particularly pleasant comments, Marilyn, did you ever get around to the botox and fillers you were in need of? 💅🏼
He definitely has mental problems. Maybe not even capable of making a legal commitment like a marriage. The other couples may be outside of the norm, but Pat and Mark being together is sick.
The cattle herding couple...that girl couldn't be more young and immature just based on her covnvo flow. He's old and severyly obese obvi taking advantage of that sitch. And hate to point this out but they are probably transporting cows for industrial farming and processing...this is a U.K. series but in the USA esp. up midwest north is where tons of industrial farms and plants are its effing terrible and gross, I've seen many on roadtrips tucked qlong back roads and esp. Near amish towns- so many documentaries on that too. Those poor cows were just probably scared being yelled at and shuttled into unfamiliar boxed in truck that isnt grass. Then having to stand up in that metal crammed for hours. Its a gross industry that I'll never supoort and what led me to be pescetarian😢
This got me all upset, too. She was clearly underage when they got together and those poor cows. You know they're all going to slaughter houses. Also how they hit them with the prods. I used to live in the Midwest and I would see those trucks all the time. They're so upsetting.
If I am being honest I find the large age gaps creepy. It just feels very much like fetishism, and the couples are not always at the same level due to the age difference.
Love comes in all shapes and sizes and ages. As long as both are adults, then it is nobody’s business but theirs. Why do people think they have any business judging who someone loves? As my grandmother used to say, mind your own business and hush. ❤
We come to this earth at different times. We are ageless spirits, and it is only the body that ages. So if we meet someone of any age that we truly love, the body is not a consideration if both parties want whatever time they can have together. They know they both won't grow old together, and that the younger one may turn into a caregiver or leave if it gets to be too much. They know what can happen. So they are happy right now, and right now is all anyone has anyway. When we go back where we came from, time doesn't matter.
Love, respect, desire for affection, feelings, feelings from within...there is no difference in age, appearance, traditions, etc. I know that love is a blessing. I have seen many people in these successful love stories.. When I find love with a woman, I take care of her, I respect the privacy of life with her, I am jealous. Very much for her. What I mean is love is a blessing that I must take care of. Maybe one day I will find this quickly. Greetings to all of you from an Egyptian young man. I wish you peace, people in the world.❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omggggg don't know which is worse...Bob's bum or the tatt on his head 🤣🤣 good luck to em I say. Not sure about Pat n Mark tho...9 times married n can't remember the previous 8 hubbies names 🤔
When I was growing up my mother always told me to marry a man who was younger. She said that, because generally women live longer than men. I am not sure if I was influenced by her or not, but I have always liked younger men. I have noticed over the years, that alot of older men are grumpy. (not all, but alot of them are)
@sadekHessen If you're not bothered by what either of us say, why bother to make your pointless statement? If you think being a widower of many years is something that appeals to you, good luck to you!
Pat has a Saviour Complex , Resucing some one in very dangerous because one day the resentment on both sides kicks in big time and both parties are too exhausted to admit it and too broken to leave.
It's not as significant as the age gaps here, but my husband is 13 years my senior and we just celebrated 5 years together. Hands down the best relationship I've ever been in. We met when I was 26 and he was 39. I would find and love him again no matter the age gap in any and every life time.
Same age gap between me and my husband. I've always been drawn to older men. The oldest age gap for me was 20yrs. It's funny because when I first went out with the guy 20yrs. Older than me he subtracted 10 yrs. 😅
Mark is a lot like my friends brother who is mentally not all the way up to his age … he was not born that way, blood was in his diaper mom rushed him to the hospital trusting that they was going to treat him accordingly, apparently they dehydrated the baby meaning not giving him fluids 3 days causing brain damage , parents sued the hospital and was granted a large sim but doesn’t even make up the damage that was done :( no amount can :( in any case he is now 44 and looks and talks exactly like mark but keoni had more “ fun side” to him meaning he laughed a lot a bit more playful but over all this guy reminds me a lot of him… ppl may think this woman is taking advantage, maybe she is in a way but honestly he wouldn’t be there with her if he didn’t want her.. he is an adult I would be lie hmmmm no if he was18 but 28 it’s whatever
I really liked yetwah ( spelling) and her "toy boy" as a couple until he did that non proposal proposal on her which was absolutely lousy. Asking someone to marry you out of the blue in front of their family and friends isn't a proposal at all it's emotional black mail. They can't say no without putting everyone involved through enormous embarrassment so it's about as far from a genuine gesture as I could imagine. Either he's really too thick to understanding that in which case she's best out of it or he absolutely saw that and that's why he did it - in which she's also best out of it.
My spouse and I only have an 8 year age gap. I can certainly relate to having many reasons our relationship shouldn't work. It just does. Seventeen years in, and we have the happiest marriage of anyone I know.
