Many young men dream of being with a mature woman. They think she will love them better, treat them with more respect, and help them grow. But the truth is very different from what they imagine.

Sometimes, marrying an older woman can become a painful journey that destroys your confidence and breaks your spirit. Here are nine savage reasons why marrying an older woman might not be the fairytale some people think it is.

Even if she acts sweet and calls you " baby, " it might not be romantic. It could be a reminder that she sees you as a little boy, not a grown man. She may correct you, tell you what to do, and always try to take charge. You will feel like her project, not her partner. She might think she knows better because she is older, and she will try to shape you into the man she wants not the man you want to be.

Even if she' s just one year older, that' s still one more year of life experience, one more year of failed relationships, and one more year of learning how to control people. Many older women have already dated several men, and they' ve learned how to twist words and control situations. You might think you' re smart, but she can outplay you without even raising her voice.
