Jay, 17, decided it was time to get behind the wheel, so he enrolled in a driving school. He found a good teacher, and their musical tastes were similar. A few days later, the discussion expanded beyond the rules of the road. He thought for a few days before inviting a new acquaintance on a date. She concurred. Linda, 52, was divorced, raised two children on her own, and never gave up hope for personal happiness.

She was taken aback by the emotions triggered by her son’s age. But you can’t speak from the heart. A stormy but secret paradise lasted eight months. They then decided to marry. When Jay’s parents and Linda’s children heard the news, they were shocked. The newly-made father-in-law and mother-in-law, who are more than ten years younger than the daughter-in-law, decided that this relationship would not last and reconciled.

Linda’s son and daughter agreed to an unusual stepfather for the sake of their mother’s happiness. For the past 21 years, this couple has been happily married. Both claim that their feelings have remained unchanged. They share many similarities. The couple runs a small family business – a bakery and a cafe – and they enjoy spending their spare time together, watching movies or learning new hobbies.

Jay regards himself as a man who, by nature, is unfit to be a father. And, despite the fact that the woman could give birth at the start of the marriage, they decided not to have joint children. Linda has seven grandchildren now. The eldest is 18 years old, and the youngest is 4 months old. During this time, her young husband became a full-fledged member of a large family, and everyone treats him as a native.

Of course, no one accepts such a couple in society because the age difference is so obvious. Linda and Jay have had to deal with a number of abusers, but it’s a small price to pay to be together.
