I'm 38 and feel like my life is speeding up. My 61-year-old husband wants to slow down.

Raising two young children has made me realize how much our 23-year age difference affects our lives.

A 38-year-old woman is grappling with the reality of her 23-year age gap with her husband, who is now 61. The couple, who met and married 12 years ago, have two young children. While the woman acknowledges their age difference, she is now feeling the impact of it more acutely. Her husband, despite being in good health for his age, is finding it difficult to keep up with the demands of parenting two children and managing the household.

This has led the woman to feel guilty and question if she is being selfish. While their relationship remains loving and supportive, the woman recognizes that both she and her husband are experiencing fatherhood and husbandhood in different stages of life.
