Jika Usia Suami Lebih Muda Dari Anda

Apakah usia Anda dan pasangan 
terpaut jauh? Jika usia pria terpaut lebih dari 5 tahun, hal itu dianggap 
sebagai suatu kewajaran, namun bagaimana jika usia wanita yang jauh lebih 
tinggi dari pria? Apakah kesulitan yang mungkin dihadapi? Coba simak yang satu 
ini. 


Menurut para pakar asmara dan 
sex, wanita lebih tua cenderung memiliki latar belakang pengalaman kehidupan 
yang lebih banyak, sehingga ia akan lebih matang menghadapi kehidupan. Dianjurkan 
oleh para pakar, jika perempuan berusia lebih tua, sebaiknya melibatkan 
pasangan dalam setiap masalah dengan cara terbuka dan jujur. Apalagi jika 
masalah tersebut merupakan masalah yang ada berkaitan dengan Anda berdua. Cinta 
harus dibarengi komunikasi yang baik dan jujur. Lalu apa sajakah kendala yang 
umum terjadi pada perempuan yang memiliki 
pasangan dengan usia jauh lebih muda? Inilah dia.. 


1. Anda akan selalu menjadi ''''ibu'''' 
baginya. Karena banyak hal yang harus Anda bimbing, maka Anda akan tergelincir 
pada peran ibu yang semestinya bukan peran Anda. Bukankah Anda kekasihnya? 
Bersiaplah karena kesabaran Anda akan diuji. Anda akan terus menerus menjalani 
masa ''''proses belajar''''. Masalah serumit apapun, menurut Anda akan terselesaikan 
(karena Anda sudah berpikiran matang). Sedangkan bagi si dia, masalah rumit 
seolah-olah akan membuat dunia kiamat. Di sinilah bimbingan Anda diperlukan. 
Dan, yang bisa Anda lakukan adalah bersabar! 


2. Secara finansial, Anda lebih 
mapan. Tak dapat dipungkiri, Anda terlebih dulu hidup mandiri dan bekerja. 
Karena itu, Anda akan lebih banyak memutuskan berbagai hal ketimbang si dia. 
Misalnya, kemana akan berlibur, merayakan hari valentine di restoran mana, dan 
lain-lain. 


3. Tergoda untuk selalu 
''''mengontrol''''nya. Patut Anda ingat, jika sebuah hubungan didominasi oleh salah 
satu pasangan, artinya hubungan itu sudah tak sehat lagi. Jadi, usahakan jangan 
menunjukkan sikap di depannya bahwa Anda yang lebih berhak atas dirinya. Siapkah 
Anda menghadapi kendala-kendala seperti di atas? Jika siap, dan Anda mau berjuang demi kelangsungan 
cinta Anda dengannya, maka teruskanlah 
hubungan itu. Jika ragu, tundalah dulu sampai Anda benar-benar siap. 
Yang pasti, jangan sekali-kali mengabaikan masalah yang ada.
