Alexander Lebedev and Elena Perminova: age difference - 27 years
The love story of Alexander Lebedev and Elena Perminova has been going on for more than 15 years. The couple has three children: sons Nikita and Egor and daughter Arina.
Age difference? “What obstacles can there be if people love each other?” - Elena is perplexed.
By the way, Elena Perminova and Alexander Lebedev also did not care about formalities like a stamp in their passport for a long time. They announced their engagement only at the beginning of 2020. However, it was not possible to have a wedding this year due to the coronavirus.

Prologue
This story would be unremarkable if not for a number of dramatic circumstances. People meet, communicate, get closer, and then, like the balls in billiards, they fly apart. Regardless of the terms consisting of different details, such as time, place, gender, age and much more, nothing in the formula changes.
Only in this case will I tell you about the story from the exclusion column.
Here's the usual story for you. A cute girl is walking down the street in her hands with a backpack and a strawberry ice cream cone.
“Big Daddy” - she loved this ice cream, all its flavors: pistachio, cappuccino, strawberry, chocolate and currant. Each day of the week had its own flavor, but what remained constant was the brand. She managed to fall in love with him even earlier two years ago, when her father’s friend appeared on the threshold of the house.
Malakhov Nikita Igorevich is the business partner of the girl’s father. He was 6 years younger than his father, but already very promising. A tall and slender brunette with beautiful, piercing eyes, in which sparks of irrepressible energy splashed. His ears pricked up a little, his short haircut made him look brutal, and his slight stubble made him look more courageous. This man, according to the instructions of the hero of “The Diamond Arm,” brought ice cream to the children and flowers of his friend’s wife. At that moment, our heroine envied her mother, but enthusiastically ate the delicacy she brought, watching the guest with fascination.
- Nikita, meet me, these are my children. Lisa is the eldest, she is already in the 9th grade, and this is Tim - he is in the third grade.
- Darlings, especially your eldest. It’s a pleasure, Lisa,” he extended his hand and shook the girl’s hand by the fingers. – And Timofey...right?
The man turned his attention to his younger brother, who proudly offered his palm for a firm handshake. With peripheral vision I noticed how large gray eyes stared at him in surprise. The man laughed.
- Alexey, your daughter’s eyes are simply huge. Is there something wrong with me? - He looked at the girl’s father, and then at his beautiful purple shirt with blue frequent stripes.
— I don’t often bring colleagues and partners here, especially such nice ones. Lisa, go to the room! “You’re embarrassing a man,” the father muttered menacingly.
- Yes, okay, let it be. I’m pleased,” Nikita blinked his left eye.
Elizabeth died and the crimson one ran away to her place. Throughout dinner she secretly watched Nikita Malakhov. She always remembered a very handsome man twice her age. Little Lisa had just turned 14 years old, and adult Nikita was already 28 years old. The man carefully pretended not to see her staring. Lisa soon ran away from the table, sometimes passing by the living room where her parents and their new acquaintance were sitting. Then she did this repeatedly. It all ended the same way: she stood in the corridor and said “Goodbye.”
The world was painted with colors, a beautiful idol settled in the girl’s heart within walking distance on important holidays. For some time the girl thought that Nikita Malakhov did not have a beloved.
The first serious disappointment befell her when one day at a dinner party in honor of the anniversary of her father’s company, he appeared with a beautiful blonde with the same gray eyes as Lisa’s, but narrow and cunning. The girl didn’t like this girl; something invisibly predatory and bitchy slipped through her. Elizabeth herself did not have the necessary roundness; she was still childishly slender, but angular.
Lisa loved to dream about love, in all her dreams there was a handsome man like Nikita, but the girl understood perfectly WHERE she was and who HE was. Only this knowledge could not make her look with rapture at the most handsome man. The boys at school and in athletics could not do anything against such a handsome man. Nikita's smile got under Lisa's skin. For her sake, she could study well and receive medals and certificates, so that her parents would be especially proud to take her and her brother to their joint holidays.
It was bitter for her to see how he tenderly hugs, kisses on the cheek and whispers some words to this dangerous girl. Dad's friend introduced her as Marina - a girl and potential bride. She giggled wildly, rejoicing at her position. The little girl's heart ached and the air was leaving her lungs. Tears stuck in my throat. It was with difficulty that Liza waited until she left. It was that evening that Nikita became concerned about her condition, when they were already saying goodbye.
— Lisa, did something happen? She’s turned pale, Lyosh, look,” the man frowned, finally tearing himself away from his annoying friend. A thin ray of hope broke through the icy shell that enveloped my heart. The eyes widened naively, absorbing affection and care.
- No, everything is okay. Look, she's staring at you again. “I completely hypnotized the child,” laughed the tipsy head of the family.
The velvety laughter of the relaxed Malakhov illuminated the soul and again gave happiness. Smiling stupidly, the girl looked at him only once, and then lowered her gaze. But a moment later she stared at the icy Marina, who was burning through the little pig with a possessive gaze.
“Nikit, let’s go to your place,” she said, looking at Lisa with a derogatory look.
Sitting in the back seat, little Elizabeth reveled in the full gamut of feelings from her unrequited love. At that time, she listened to the songs of the group “Paints”, “Hands Up” and lived with memories and moments of meetings with the object of her admiration.
Chapter 1
Years passed and Elizabeth finally began to bloom and open up. The awkward figure took on roundness, breasts began to grow, hips loomed, and menstruation appeared. The girl went headlong into the problem of growing up and exams. At the age of 17, Lisa entered the 11th grade. The boys began to pay special attention to the beautiful blonde with big gray eyes and an excellent figure. In the hall, the boys vying with each other offered to take him home.
Most recently, Konstantin Bogrov, a promising athlete, transferred to them. The tall brunette with his impressive shoulder span and charming smile was the subject of universal sighs from the girls. Elizabeth noted his attractiveness for herself, but her heart always pulled out the image of Nikita from her memory. Kostya distinguished Lisa from others and slowly fought off her competitors. A couple of times he even accompanied me home and suggested going to the movies. The little girl now has her small but serious life. The blonde was making plans for the future. In it, she decided to become her father’s assistant, so she decided to go to business college. A good financier is what my father complained about. Dad was tired at work, sometimes he had stitches, and Nikita had the same thing. The wave of crises took its toll, people were burned out at work.
The situation with sports was more complicated. Lisa loved athletics, but did not want to become a professional, when, like the same Kostya, he lived by it. They also discussed this on a joint walk home. It was a pleasant autumn day. Two figures with sports bags were walking along the sidewalks when a black Chevrolet SUV slowly stopped nearby and a velvety voice called out.
- Lisa?!
The girl turned around in surprise, leaning over the empty passenger seat; her childhood idol Nikita Malakhov was looking at her.
“Hello,” the girl mumbled.
- Hello! Long time no see, how is father there? I have so little time that I can’t come and see you. Who is this with you? – a snow-white smile on his face and an intense gaze.
- Dad - good, he also has a lot of work. “We understand everything, it’s hard for many people now,” my dad said. This is my friend Konstantin Bogrov, we go to athletics together,” Lisa said carefully, looking back at her companion.
Kostya exhaled and rolled his eyes: “Hello.”
- Clear. He’s apparently seeing you off, I’m just heading towards your house, let’s take you. Look, you're tired from training. Let your friend go,” Nikita said more relaxed.
“Bone...” the girl looked at the guy.
“Okay, just call me and tell me you got there okay,” the guy said gloomily, looking at the unfamiliar uncle.
“Definitely, see you at training,” she smiled.
- Liz, just don’t forget about Saturday. “We’ll go to the cinema with you,” Kostya said joyfully.
- We'll discuss it later. Bye,” the blonde got into the car.
Before she even had time to wave her hand, the car suddenly started.
—Are you planning to go to the cinema? - Nikita said casually.
- Yes, Kostya called for a long time.
- I wouldn’t be surprised, you’ve changed a lot, by the way. “She’s gotten better since the last meeting,” the driver said, gliding contentedly over her figure. - I can understand your friend. Not dating anyone?
Elizabeth became crimson, they had never spoken to him for so long, they had never discussed her appearance and preferences. The girl’s throat was dry and her tongue became cottony.
“Mmm,” the girl shook her head in denial.
- How are things at school? Graduation class already? – the girl shook her head in agreement. - Yes, time flies... just recently you were little, and soon you will go to college. Have you decided where?
“To become a financier, I want to help dad,” the girl mumbled quietly.
“This is a laudable aspiration.” Look, if you learn, I’ll take you to practice. I have a bigger business than Alexey. Useful experience. M? – Nikita asked, turning into her home yard. - Car, Leshy. Looks like I'll come up to visit you. Shall we go?
“Yes,” Lisa squeaked.
Malakhov's arrival at her house was a pleasant event. Everyone gathered for dinner and talked. Now it was not Lisa, but Nikita who carefully watched her and praised her parents for how beautiful she had become. Word for word, it turned out that Nikita and Marina ran away when the crisis came and went to a competitor. Nikita smiled and spoke calmly, at that moment their gazes crossed, so that his heart sank into his stomach and his palms began to sweat. Something was left unsaid, something fleeting, but so languid. Lisa hurried from the table, it was hard to stay next to him, the fragile and serene world was cracking at the seams. Past emotions seemed to awaken from under a layer of dust from past years.
According to tradition, Lisa came out to say goodbye, but only misheard her.
— Okay, as agreed, we’ll meet on Saturday. Let’s spend time like in the good old days,” the father said contentedly, shaking the guest’s hand.
“Goodbye,” Elizabeth blurted out in confusion.
“See you later, Lisa,” he shook her fingertips, smiling mysteriously.
Chapter 2
The next day it became clear that Nikita had invited them to his country house for a barbecue on Saturday. My heart beat excitedly in my chest, girlish hopes, like lights in the night sky, flared up in my soul. I couldn’t overcome my childhood crush and let go of my thoughts about Nikita. She dreamed of his smile and his tender kisses and hugs, waking up with red cheeks and a racing heart.
Lisa also forgot about the movie with Kostya, when the guy came up and reminded her, the girl apologized for a long time.
- Will you go to this dude? – Kostya asked gloomily.
“He invited our family, he is a friend of the family and not a dude, but a businessman,” the girl answered displeasedly, tying her hair into a ponytail.
Bogrov sadly wandered his eyes over the slender figure of the blonde.
- What difference does it make, he’s strange. Stay away from him. He's older than you, isn't he?
- What do you mean?
- And the fact that grown men are not friends to young girls.
- How can you? – Lisa was feignedly indignant, but her heart skipped a beat.
- Liz, I’m worried, let’s go on weekdays between training sessions then?
- Okay, Kostya. If it works out, we'll go.
The guy was good and kind. Elizabeth liked him, but she couldn’t call it love, although Kostya hoped.
Saturday crept up unexpectedly, Lisa put on her best sundress with straps. We went far out of town with an overnight stay until Sunday. Malakhov's house was a luxurious wooden one with a large veranda, a bathhouse, a pond and a garden. Having started the grill, we settled down in the summer gazebo in the garden. The men fried meat, Tim carried logs, and the mother and daughter set the table. When we met, Nikita gazed enchanted at Lisa’s figure.
- Lesh, your daughter is a sight for sore eyes, she takes after her mother. A real beauty! – Nikita said relishing.
Mom and dad laughed contentedly.
- I don’t know what to do. The boys are running after her, well Kostya Bogrov volunteered to accompany her. Nice guy, showing promise in athletics.
-Have you met yet? Groom? – the owner of the house smiled predatorily.
- No, we saw each other at the sports complex, and we met there. Nice family, great guy. But Lizka hasn’t brought him to us yet,” the father smiled contentedly. – I think this day is not far off, but it’s too early. Institute first!
- Yes, you are right. She's going to be a financier. “I would take her to my practice,” Nikita chuckled relaxedly.
- Yes, just wait! She hasn’t started studying yet, we’ll see what happens,” the worried father of the family frowned.
- She’s pretty and smart. Why are you muddying the waters?
“Like any father, I worry.” Oh, these exams, the Unified State Exam and other bullshit.
- Let's go have a drink, Lesh. “Everything will work out,” Nikita hugged him and led him to the gazebo.
The beeping sounded at the gate, Nikita went to open it. A Toyota Rav4 jeep drove in and a beautiful curvy girl got out. Blonde again, though blue-eyed. She was too much: noisy, active, clinging to Nikita.
“Meet my girlfriend Lana,” the owner of the house deliberately avoided Lisa’s gaze.
Knowing full well what he would see there: pain, rage, jealousy. What is this all for? Why did you ask if she had someone? Why did you call here? I wanted to get on the train, and maybe I had time to return to the city, and there was a movie with Kostya. The resentment was choking me worse than a rope. The girl did not approach men or her new passion. Having had a snack, she flew out from the table, citing stomach pain and went to bed. Fatigue and stress came at once and she fell asleep. I managed to open my eyes only late at night; Tim was sleeping next to me on the next sofa. Getting up to go get a drink of water, she moved around the house. In the darkness, Lisa heard fuss and heavy breathing. The girl moved along the second floor and saw the door to the bedroom ajar. And behind her was a bed and two intertwined bodies, Nikita towered over the naked busty blonde, like a huge predatory beast. He was naked and so beautiful, it made me feel sick in the pit of my stomach. The man kissed her greedily and kept wailing:
“My girl, my sweetie...” the man did not look at Lana’s face, studied the body, then closed his eyes.
Smoothly swinging over her, he breathed languidly, and the girl under him moaned quietly.
“Yes, don’t shout,” he whispered to her.
The massive body pressed against his partner with an increasing rhythm, beautiful female legs spread out to the sides from his abs. The muscles in my arms were bulging. Despite his 30s, Nikita was beautifully built. Elizabeth understood that what she saw hurt her, but it was also unbearably hot. She simply could not take her eyes off his body, soaking in every inch. Remember it forever, and then tear it out of your heart.
Meanwhile, the man was approaching release, moaning loudly, Nikita began to abruptly burst into his mistress, moaning only her name... Her name.
Lisa gasped and jumped away from the door, meeting only for a split second with his blurred pleasure and instantly shocked gaze, rushed to her bedroom and locked herself. Her heart jumped out of her chest, still replaying the moment when he said her name. I couldn't sleep. She kept waiting for HE to try to break into her, but HE didn’t come, and SHE never fell asleep.
The next morning everyone woke up and went to breakfast. While everyone was busy downstairs, she decided to take a shower upstairs. Slipping into the shower stall, she turned on the water, and her memory helpfully showed Nikita hovering over her. Having quickly soaped and washed her body, she walked out of the stall wrapped in a towel. She went up to the mirror, didn’t have time to squeeze the paste onto the brush, raised her face to the mirror and froze. HE stood behind her, breathing deeply, devouring her with eyes full of predatory hunger. Lisa seemed to freeze under his hypnotic gaze, the man came close, inhaling her scent.
“You didn’t come down for breakfast,” he rumbled.
A wave of heat washed over her from head to toe, and something pulsed in her lower abdomen. My throat felt like a vice.
The man inhaled the scent of her hair, standing close but not touching.
- You saw me at night. Liked? – he whispered in her ear.
Goosebumps covered her whole body, it became wet between her legs, just because she remembered how he came with her name on his lips.
“I remember,” Nikita’s voice trembled with relief. “Now my baby knows my secret.” What should we do?
- I…
“Continue,” the man said insinuatingly, swaying slightly towards her, pressing his hips against her ass with obvious excitement.
Thoughts disappeared, absolutely everything. Breathing became erratic.
“I thought how long I could hold out, but that’s how it is, I’ve gotten better in just a year.” All the suckers are drooling, and here I am biting my fists and trying not to lose my temper.
Elizabeth turned into hearing and feeling, waiting for what would happen next. She knew for sure that she would not push him away; everything inside was calling to him. It was stupid to think that this was just an easy childhood crush.
- Lana...
- What about Lana? This time everything is clear without words. We have nothing but bed and a show of relationships. With Marina I thought, I’ll switch, you’re little, and I’m a grown man. I’ll forget myself, and the whim will pass, but it didn’t pass, your face before my eyes, with these timid gray pools. When I saw you next to this brat, I thought I was going to lose my temper. Let go... He called Lana, and you saw. What's the point of lying and making excuses now?
- What do you want?
Hips thrust into her again.
- Don’t you understand yet?.. I want you, I won’t give you to anyone. Even though Lyosha will twist my head, I will get you. The question is, what do you have for me? I like you, you hate me... - he froze in indecision, looking into his eyes through the mirror. - Do you love it?
- And you?
“I’m ready to do anything for you, I’m crazy about you,” he said and kissed his neck. – Lisa, tell me, what do you feel for me? I swear, everything will be your way, I will restrain myself, I will wait.
“I...” the girl whispered quietly. – I loved and love only you at first sight.
Tears welled up in her eyes. Little Lisa finally confessed, as if tearing a necklace of heavy stones from her neck.
“My girl,” he squeezed his baby tightly in his hands, kissing her cheek.
- Lisa! Nikita! Where are you? – the girl’s mother shouted.
Nikita quickly released her and left the bath.
- Light, she’s in the shower. She's already chased me away, she'll be down soon. Let’s go,” he urged the woman.
My legs became weak. The girl fell, hiding her red face in her hands. Confessed, desired, loved by him. Everything inside sang and danced. I wanted to see him again, I wanted his hugs and kind words. Then came fear for his parents, for him, for himself. After all, he wants her, she’s not with anyone yet. They say it only hurts the first time. What if he was joking?
On Sunday Nikita did not approach her again. Lana left immediately after breakfast. Only at lunch, when the men were saying goodbye, Nikita, parting, held her fingers longer.
“Bye everyone and thank you for coming,” he said to everyone and winked at Tima and Lisa.
My heart sank sadly, as if this scene in the bath had never happened. Elizabeth thought she was imagining it because of her sleepless night. Arriving home, her favorite TV series and music did not bring pleasure to the girl. The chocolate ice cream alone brought relief with the taste of salty tears.
Chapter 3
Only early in the morning, walking along her usual route, she saw a familiar SUV. Malakhov sat and smiled at her.
“Come to me,” he said.
Something suddenly exploded in my heart, bright purple in color, my heart began to pound in my chest. A smile naturally spread across his face. Lisa ran to the car.
“Hello,” she said quietly.
“Hello, my girl,” he smiled. - Come on, sit down, we need a little time to discuss a lot.
Lisa sat in the front passenger seat, and the Chevrolet moved towards the school. A strong hand lay on the timid blonde's arm and intertwined with it. The high school student watched, spellbound, as he raised her palm to his lips and kissed it.
- I thought about a lot yesterday, now there is not much time to discuss it. Don't have a workout today?
- Yes, if you want, I don’t have to go.
- No, you won’t skip anything for my sake. Lisa, remember, I will not do anything to stop you from studying. For me, your future comes first. But you’ll have to forget about boys,” he looked at her very expressively. - It's clear?
“Yes, Nikit,” the girl mumbled bashfully.
— Until you finish school, our relationship is a secret. You can't say anything to anyone. I won’t be able to take you to the movies or walk hand in hand, as is common among your peers. Maximum cafe. We will communicate via telephone. “Here,” he handed her a black Nokia phone, unremarkable, but with a large screen. — I put ICQ there. My phone is in it. Don’t show it to anyone, especially your parents and friends. Call me only in very extreme cases, I will call you myself. Keep him on vibrate. We've arrived, run, honey. I'll call you in the evening.
Lisa looked at him excitedly, the plot of some detective novel.
- When will we see each other? – the question asked by herself plunged her into shock. The cheeks turned red. His hand nervously tugged at the passenger door handle.
- Very soon. I plan to take up all your time... and thoughts,” the man looked at her very carefully with some boyish joy.
Lisa thawed and relaxed, the door gave way.
- I'll wait, Nikit.
Her legs quickly rushed towards school, towards her so dull and not so exciting life. Her hands were constantly clutching the phone that she hid in her sweatshirt. Now this thing has acquired the most precious property for her. Every night she will sleep with her cell phone, hiding a piece of their secret under her pillow, an invisible thread to her beloved.
On Monday she met Kostya at training.
- Hello, athlete. How was your weekend?
- Great, we ate barbecue.
“It’s bad for you, it will affect the masses,” he smiled, trying to flirt with her.
“It won’t affect anything, just a little more and I’ll finish school.” Who knows what will happen to me next with athletics,” she said, thinking that she would simply devote all her free time after college to Nikita, completely openly.
“Don’t give up,” Bogrov said sadly. “We’ll study together, I’ll walk you home or take you to the movies, I’ll buy you your favorite ice cream.”
“I don’t know, we’ll see,” said Lisa, understanding where Kostya was going.
Now she needed to be careful and not give anyone false hopes, she knew that her beloved would not be happy if so-and-so started courting her.
- What about a movie tomorrow? Whatever you want,” Bogrov suggested.
“It won’t work out, Kostya, I need to go with my mom on errands tomorrow.”
- Then maybe on Thursday.
- It's better to postpone it. Okay, time to warm up. Good luck.
Elizabeth quickly ran away from the guy, but he accompanied her home again and was very attentive. It was hard for the girl to refuse him and speak dryly. Kostya went home very gloomy. Knowing which guy is stubborn, he will make even more efforts to win the favor of the young blonde.
And in the evening HE called when everyone had already gone to bed.
- Hello, honey, did you wake me?
“No, I was waiting,” a gentle warm smile to an invisible interlocutor.
“There’s a lot of work, but I’ve been waiting all day to be able to talk to you.” How was school, how was training?
— School is boring and difficult, but athletics was great. Nikit...
- Yes baby?
- Kostya...
Silence on the phone.
“He invites me to the cinema, I promised him... I don’t know how long I can refuse him.” He is very stubborn.
- Go with him to the cinema during the day, so that there are a lot of people, preferably for something frivolous. No horror, drama or romance. Don't even think about taking the last row. So that this is the last time and don’t make promises, blow him off. You are MINE, girl. I'm serious, there's no turning back, Lisa.
These words made me tremble inside, melting in a knot. I wanted to be next to him, look into his eyes, breathe him.
- Fine. I understand everything, Nikit.
- Clever girl. Let's meet at the cafe tomorrow after class. You have a great one there in the park area. Will you come?
- Yes, I will. I finish tomorrow at 15 o'clock, I'll be there in half an hour.
- Great, I'll wait for you there. See you later, baby.
- Good night, Nikit.
- Sleep tight, baby. Kiss.
There are beeps in the receiver, and everything inside is ringing and dancing. I can't sleep at all, and my mobile screen shows half past midnight. The girl's stupid smile will soon become a habit.
Chapter 4
Many important, but so boring events often happen around a person that most people decide to endure it, such as donating blood for a test. It's unpleasant, but it will end soon. This rule is often followed by students in educational institutions, but even this tactic does not help when exams are approaching.
Elizabeth will also inevitably be affected by this at school. The school she attended was multidisciplinary. The socio-economic class sounds great, but in reality the material that the teachers taught for the “profile” was meager and poor. It’s good that in the 9th grade she was taught “Fundamentals of Economic Knowledge,” which included the study of the basic laws of economics and “Fundamentals of consumer knowledge.” Now the locomotive of her senior year was carrying her straight into adulthood through the jungle of tasks unusual in ordinary life and essays on free topics in the main areas of culture, literature, history, geography, and the English language.
My heart longed for love; for the first time it was looming so clearly. Malakhov Nikita, the hero of dreams, came into her dreams with enviable regularity, but today, as luck would have it, she dreamed of ruined dresses, broken shoes and legs that did not want to carry her on her first date with her beloved. Lisa hasn’t been in such a shock and bad mood for a long time.
Gathering all her will into a fist, she decided that she would go on a date in a skirt and shoes. Having very carefully examined the wardrobe for stains, threads, holes and broken heels, I was satisfied with the result. The reflection of the mirror showed a pretty pretty girl in a pink floral bell skirt just above the knees in a white blouse with short sleeves tied in a knot at the waist and beautiful beige shoes with small heels.
She didn’t dare to wear makeup, so she just lined her eyes and applied mascara. It would do for the first time, because Nikita could have scolded her, especially since this is their secret, and she could more clearly hint that there was something more between them. What's worse is she selling herself to him. At this age, even very pretty girls are faced with a feeling of insecurity about their appearance and character as such. Elizabeth was always shy around the object of her love, but now Nikita was not hiding anything, which means she herself would have to cope with the pressure of their feelings.
The guys at school whistled and shouted behind me, some compliments, some caustic jokes. My friends flattered me, but in some ways they were all right. Today Lisa did not plan to be a gray mouse.
The road to the park seemed endless. Every step my heart pounded and my palms sweated. Her impressive backpack weighed down her arms, but she would never go on a date like a fool with a backpack on her back. As a result, her reluctance forced her to walk this distance longer than the allotted time. The phone given by Nikita vibrated in his jacket pocket.
“Hello,” the girl breathed.
- Liz, where are you? – Nikita’s voice was tense.
- I’m coming, there’s only a little time left. I didn’t calculate it, I’m sorry,” she said, puffing and shuffling her legs.

Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones: age difference - 25 years
Michael Douglas and Catherine Zeta-Jones were born on the same day - September 25, only 25 years apart. But a quarter of a century did not become an obstacle to their love. In 2020, the actors celebrated their 20th wedding anniversary. And considering how many difficulties they endured (Douglas had cancer, and Catherine suffered from a mental illness), this certainly won’t be their last anniversary together.
pros
However, marriages with a large age difference would not be so common if they had only disadvantages. Of course, there are also advantages.
One of the main advantages of unequal marriages is the significant life experience of the older partner. There is no more recklessness, and firm calculation will help the family become successful not only in material terms, but also in terms of relationships. The more mature partner will support the younger one in all difficult situations, from which, as a rule, he will find the only correct way out.
Another plus is the financial independence of a more mature partner. Young couples most often have nothing to their name - neither their own home, nor a car, nor any savings to ensure a normal vacation, and what to hide, there is no special income to afford expensive purchases or a decent vacation. The absence of financial problems is one of the guarantees that there will be fewer scandals and problems in the family.
If a child is born in such a family, then the mature partner will become the best parent in the world, he will appreciate every moment spent with the baby, for him it will be real happiness. But in early marriages it is often the other way around, and a child quite often becomes one of the reasons for the separation of spouses, one of whom cannot cope with responsibility.

Age difference: older man
The same scientists from the University of Wales came to the conclusion that men aged 20 to 25 usually want women of their own age or slightly younger as their companions. As men grew older, they began to clearly prefer women and younger girls, and this pattern is characteristic of different cultures. Scientists Fr.
“A wide range of evidence has shown that women, when considering a potential long-term partner, focus more than men on cues indicating wealth and status, and these logically accumulate with age. Men, on the contrary, pay more attention to physical attractiveness, and this clearly correlates with years of maximum fertility,” the scientists found.

When a man is older
This is a classic love relationship. But it is good if the difference between a man and a woman is 3-6 years. Such relationships are considered harmonious and promising from a scientific point of view. After all, boys lag behind girls in terms of intellectual development by 2-3 years. Therefore, a small difference in the age of the spouses is acceptable. It’s another matter when a man starts talking about love with a difference of 16 years or more. His feelings for the girl may be real, but more often they are supported by a material motive. A man wants to act as a “teacher” of a young, inexperienced chosen one. And he also likes her freedom from children. As a rule, young girls are not spoiled and are less capricious. And this reduces the amount of a man’s “financial investment” in their future life together.

What to do if you and your girlfriend have a huge age difference
In 2020, when I was 24 and my boyfriend was 33, we were sitting at a bar. For some reason, on this day, footage of the September 11 terrorist attack was shown on the projector. Suddenly my companion asked me: “Were you born before September 11?” After that, he took a few sips, thought about it, and seemed to understand that if that were the case, then our date would be at least illegal.
Luckily, our nine-year gap rarely causes us any discomfort. He is leveled, for example, by his social circle: in our company I am the youngest, and he is one of the oldest guys. Besides that night, I can only remember two occasions when I realized our difference. The first was when I introduced him to my parents, who are only 12 years older than him. Another time he showed me a video of Paula Abdul's Opposites Attract, where she dances sensually with a cartoon cat, MC Skat Kat. He was alarmed that I had never seen the video. Yes, I was confused myself.
Still from the TV series “Nanny”
Most people don't notice the age difference. A 2008 study found that couples face social disapproval when one partner is more than 10 years older than the other. Over time, even such gaps become less noticeable, but this, of course, depends on the year the relationship began. If you met your love when she was still a child, and you are already an adult, then this is, to put it mildly, contradictory.
Society is quite tolerant of situations where a man is much older than a woman. Of course, there are those who call young girls “trophy wives” and “golddiggers,” but in general this is a variant of the norm. But if a man is younger than his companion, then significantly more questions arise.
We talked to people who are in relationships with a significant age difference. We discussed who provides for whom. And also how they feel about judging people who constantly discuss their career, family life and friends.
How did you meet your partner?
“We met in law school, but at the time we were with other partners and just friends,” Ashley , 34, is 14 years younger than her husband.
“I was in college and worked on the student newspaper. He was 40 and an editor. I was 22 and already engaged to someone else my age. I had to leave my fiancé and move in with Dennis. We got married a few years later and had two children. Looking back, I realize that our early relationship could not have existed between a college teacher and a student,” Lila , 55, 18 years younger than her husband.
“We met at the gym, but it took about three years to start a romantic relationship. I was a coach and couldn’t invite her, but fortunately she doesn’t share my prejudices,” Nathan , 49, is 14 years older than his girlfriend.
“We met at a wedding. We always say that we would never have found each other on a dating app because we weren’t even within each other’s age range and our interests were completely different,” Emma , 26, 11 years younger than her partner.
“We met on a fetish dating site,” Sean , 35, is 14 years older than his girlfriend.
Were you aware of the age difference when you first started dating?
"The first time I saw him, I thought, 'Old man.' But it’s funny how the first impression can change a lot,” - Leela .
"Yes. This is one of the reasons I didn't ask her out. I thought she might be a Republican. Fortunately, no." - Nathan .
Do you feel like you are at different stages of your life?
“The age difference becomes most obvious when communicating with parents. His mom and dad are already very old people, and mine are practically the same age as my husband, still quite young and active people. My father looks after his grandchildren two days a week, my parents travel a lot, work, etc. - Ashley.
"Somewhat. She is just starting to build a career, and I am already at the next stage. It turns out that I will soon become a stay-at-home dad. But a child helps us stay at approximately the same point in life. . " - Nathan
“Our differences show up when we interact with friends. Between the two of us, the age difference is not noticeable at all,” - Nicole , 43 years old, 16 years younger than her husband.
“There’s a big difference between the way I have fun—on social media, going to cafes—and what he does, bowling and darts league. I'm not very good at this. Sometimes he tries to give me advice because he's "been through it before." I’m not happy about this, because after these comments the gap is felt much more acutely,” Nina , 26 years old, nine years younger than her boyfriend.
Do strangers comment on your age difference?
“My husband acts as if he is slightly over 30. And he looks younger than his age. That's why most people don't realize there is an age difference until we say it ourselves. It doesn't bother us and we're usually the first to joke about it." - Ashley
“Several people mistook him for my father, which was sometimes confusing. But this was a bigger problem for them than for us. I did not care. We enjoyed raising our children together. Dennis was not as active as other fathers, but he took more care of the boys when they were very young,” Lila .
“My friends were very unhappy. Everyone thought he was too young to be serious about a relationship (and in the end, they were right). I admit, I felt like I was being judged. People assumed I was his aunt or that we were just friends, and that bothered me a little,” Gwen , 48, is 19 years older than her ex-boyfriend.
“The age difference sounds bad until you know us. On the surface, this is definitely unsettling, and I can see why it bothers many. But it’s tiring to constantly explain the relationship,” Talia , 26 years old, more than 20 years younger than her partner.
What's good about the big difference?
“You can't win unless you have someone more experienced next to you. He's already had two or three careers, and now he's starting a new one as a law school professor. It's nice to be able to rely on his life experience when I have no idea what to do.” - Ashley .
“Of course, great sex. The person who is many times more experienced is the most amazing,” Gwen .
“It's nice to be with someone who understands himself and can act like an adult. I was so tired of dating men who didn't know how to do simple things like change their bed sheets regularly. I don't need to teach a guy how to be a human being." - Talia .
“That my boyfriend worked for over 10 years before I met him. Besides, our quarrels are much more constructive, he’s been through a lot in relationships and knows how to behave,” Emma .
Have you discussed that your age difference could be a reason for a breakup?
“Our relationship began with sexual attraction, where the age difference was mostly an incomprehensible thrill, but we quickly realized how well we complemented each other. It doesn't matter anymore and neither of us considers it important or defining of our relationship." - Sean .
“The biggest problem is that we won't be together forever. I want to have more children, get married, buy a house, but he doesn’t. We've broken up before because of this, and I know that one day the relationship will truly come to an end. Besides, he wears terrible old man's sandals." - Nina .
The material was first published on the American GQ website.

What kind of song?
Love is a feeling that is not subject to time, circumstances and age. No one looks at a passport before falling in love, the fire inside a person ignites instantly, but how long it will be possible to preserve it depends on both parties, and the age difference will play a significant role here.

What should be the age difference between a man and a woman for them to be comfortable and for the marriage to be happy?
It is believed that a woman should be five to six years younger than her partner. At the same time, we see that the strongest marriages are between peers. On the other hand, is the age difference really important, because a lot depends on the characteristics of each partner, how much people have similar interests and outlooks on life.
In any case, it is worth understanding the peculiarities of marriage between peers and partners with an age difference.
Spouses of the same age
There are many love stories in which a husband and wife sat at the same desk, grew up in the same yard, played in the same sandbox, or met at college. A couple of the same age is different in that their views on life are similar, they grew up at the same time, and saw the same changes in society. Such couples are in no hurry to have children; they want to live a little for themselves. First, they want to study, find a good job in order to realize themselves, and then travel and see the world.

Man older than woman
A marriage in which the man is older is filled with a certain harmony. As men age, they take relationships more seriously and look closely at the female sex, choosing a life partner with whom they will build a family and have children.
The age difference can reach 20 years. This won’t surprise anyone these days. Depending on how much older the man is than the woman, relationships will be built in a special way.
Difference 5-7 years
The development of a man occurs somewhat slower than that of a woman. As a rule, by the age of thirty, men are ripe for marriage, but they are looking for a soul mate a little younger than themselves. A union with a difference of 5-7 years has a number of advantages:
- approximately the same interests;
- Financial independence;
- maximum coincidence in bed;
- a man can be a leader in a relationship;
- the wife may feel protected;
The difference is 10-12 years

When the age difference between spouses fluctuates around ten years, this is quite normal. By that time, mature men have already managed to stand firmly on their feet, become financially established, and gain life experience, which will be very useful for building serious relationships. Such marriages have the following advantages:
- A man in a family is a leader, provider and protector;
- A partner’s wisdom will help smooth out everyday conflicts and not turn them into a reason for divorce;
- Sexual experience will help satisfy the needs of both partners;
- The man is ripe for children and ready for offspring.
The older a man is, the more conscious, thoughtful and balanced his decision to get married becomes, and not made on emotions. And this, in turn, is a reliable platform for building strong relationships.

Reasons for unequal marriages
There are several reasons why girls (and young boys, although less often) agree to an unequal marriage. Among them:
- Material interest.
Sadly, it is the material interest of the younger partner that becomes the main reason why marriages take place with a difference of 20 years. Mercantile girls and boys are drawn to the money of mature men and women who have already achieved a lot in life and can financially afford much more than young people. Such a union, of course, is more reminiscent of a business contract than a love marriage - the role of each partner is prescribed in advance, from the young partner - youth, from the more mature - material well-being. - Experience.
Often young people look at partners who are much older than them in a special way because they lacked maternal or paternal love in childhood. Every girl, for example, needs a kind and loving dad who will love her and warm her in his strong arms. If the girl did not have this, then subconsciously she will strive for a more mature partner, trying to make up for the lack of paternal attention. It is unlikely that such feelings can be called true love, since the girl most likely realizes that she still needs a man, not a father, for her husband. - Conflict of interest with peers.
It often happens that a young girl or boy is absolutely not interested in being with their peers; they are annoyed by the constant “wind in their head,” the lack of serious plans, and the reluctance to take relationships seriously. Often this is why fate brings young people together with partners who are much more experienced, respectively, with a difference of 20 years or more. - Love
. Of course, in some situations it is precisely this feeling that connects people with an age difference of several decades. The feelings of lovers are so strong that the age difference of years simply does not matter. This doesn't happen very often, but it does happen. Such marriages are built on love and mutual understanding, and no one can interfere with the happiness of lovers.
