My husband is older than my mother and was battling cancer when we met

A WOMAN married to a man older than her mother, who was battling cancer when they met, has insisted she is not a gold digger.

Glenda, 33, met Roy, 68, after approaching him to talk business as they both work in the insurance and real estate industries.

They met to compare notes, and Roy immediately realized that he was attracted to Glenda, who is 35 years his junior.

After meeting, he asked her out, and they spent three hours chatting at a local restaurant.

Glenda said her first impression of Roy was that he was very funny and confident.

“He joked, ‘am I too old to date you?’, and I joked back and said, ‘age is just a number,’” she said Love does not judge.

Glenda said she is attracted to older men because they are “done partying” and ready to “settle down and be in a serious relationship.”

However, when the couple first met, Roy had just been diagnosed with prostate cancer.

“I didn’t want to put a young, attractive woman through that,” she said.

However, Glenda told Roy she was a “ride or die” girl, and helped him through his battle with cancer.

“She helped me through the whole process, it was clear from the start that this was very genuine,” Roy said.

Roy is more than a decade older than Glenda’s mother, who is 54, but Glenda said she never thinks about the age difference.

“I don’t think about what life will be like in ten years, I just enjoy my husband right now,” she said.

Glenda and Roy have been married for a year and have received a lot of criticism for their marriage, especially from Glenda’s mother.

“I don’t consult with family, their opinion would never matter,” she said.

Glenda often posts insights into her unconventional marriage on TikTok and faces cruel comments from trolls.
