Is Your Husband Becoming An Old Man?

He’s reaching for his slippers, while you’re getting ready to party. Sound familiar? Your relationship may have an emotional age gap.

It’s a Friday afternoon and, after polishing off a mince pie with your colleagues, you head home, ready to start your Christmas break. But while you’re looking forward to an evening of fun – after all, Christmas is the perfect excuse to slip into that new sparkly dress – when you get through the door you find your other half already curled up in his pyjamas, watching Elf for what feels like the hundredth time.

Sounds all too familiar? Well, you’re not alone. While more than two-thirds of 40-plus women consider themselves to be in the prime of their lives, it seems that we’re leaving our men behind.

As we women spend more time and money on fashion, new hobbies and socialising – especially over the festive period – the emotional age gaps between us and our partners seem to be growing ever wider.

Even our favourite stars have to mind the gap. Despite being a new mum to twins, Amal Clooney looks more stylish every day. Her husband, on the other hand, has been pictured with a furrowed brow and heavy eye bags. Time for bed, George?
