18 year age gap with woman

I had a very brief fling with a co-worker a couple of years ago. I was 28 and she was 47. She was married with three kids and she made it blatantly obvious that she was up for something with someone, she mentioned it on a constant basis. She was unhappy in her marriage and there was very little sex in their marriage.

I had a bad break up with my girlfriend of a number of years and I turned to my coworker for advice. I always thought she was good looking, which she was, and obviously any attraction I had towards her was just fantasy based as I never once thought anything would happen between us. One night both of us were on the late shift and we took a break together in the middle of the night. I was having a rough night and so was she. We were alone in the canteen at 3 am and one thing led to another. We had unbelievable sex on the couch in the canteen and we did so most nights we were working together for perhaps a month or so.

We had lots in common, both found each other attractive and had amazing sex. There was an emotional connection too which made it much better too. We both made a conscious decision to quit before we got too used to what we were doing. It was purely down to the age gap. If she was a few years younger I’d say we’d still be together. She has since split from her husband and is alone now which is a real shame. She’s a wonderful woman and is still very sexy even at 50+. I left the company probably 5 months after we stopped messing around and I moved to Cork. Not long after I did I met my future wife and things have worked out brilliantly for us and I have an awful lot to thank my former coworker for.

Listening to her being so sad at the way her marriage had ended up I actually got some tips on what not to do in a marriage and it has worked out well. I sometimes meet that woman when I go home and there’s no weirdness between us, a big plus factor when you are involved with a mature woman, and we often still chat away. She was very close to getting an invite to my wedding too.

My advice to OP is go for it, the worst that can happen is you have a bit of fun with an older woman. The best that can happen is that you have a bit of fun with an older woman but you learn an awful lot about what makes women tick and what makes them happy into their 40s and beyond. Your situation is very different to mine I know but I would say go for it.

On a serious note, you do want to get her intentions clear. She may be thinking something a little more long time than you are. At 43, you're thinking about settling down a bit; at 25 you're still thinking crazy fling.

Funny how if the genders reversed the 47 year old would be attacked as a dirty old man taking advantage of a harmless young wan. And the "bad marriage with no sex" thing wouldn't be believed. If she was such a wonderful woman she would have left her husband before riding someone else.
