"So with age, comes greater experience"
My morale just go down as I hear that one today!

Ask New French president

As his drama teacher, Brigitte Trogneux directed Emmanuel Macron’s stage debut in a school play at the age of 15.

As his wife, she mentored, coached and advised him during his presidential campaign.

As first lady, she will assume a powerful role that Mr Macron’s aides compare to that of Michelle Obama during her time in the White House.

He often refers to his wife, who is 24 years his senior, as his intellectual soulmate and confidante. Mr Macron, 39, says he will govern more effectively if he is happy — and that means having Brigitte at his side.

Mindful of the spectacular downfall of François Fillon, the conservative former presidential favourite, over allegations that he gave his wife a “fake job” as his parliamentary adviser, Mr Macron has promised Brigitte a staff, a budget and responsibilities — but no salary.

The outgoing Socialist president, François Hollande, faced criticism for giving his ex-girlfriend, the journalist Valérie Trierweiler, an Elysée office and a staff, without clarifying her exact role.



During Mr Macron’s campaign, he announced that he wanted the position of First Lady, which has no official status in France, to be defined and codified.

Brigitte Macron’s main interest is expected to be education and working for disadvantaged and autistic children.

Alix Bouilhaguet, the author of a recently-published book about the partners of the presidential contenders, described how Brigitte, 64, put her husband through his paces as he rehearsed the lengthy speeches the French expect from political leaders.


“She was always elegant, often wearing tight jeans and a dark jacket, somehow managing not to look out of place among his campaign team, although their average age appeared to be around 25,” Ms Bouilhaguet said.

She was married and a mother of three when he fell in love with her as a schoolboy in the red-brick rustbelt town of Amiens in northern France.

Their affair scandalised the local community and Mr Macron’s parents packed him off to study in Paris.

Defying expectations that the relationship would be short-lived, they married in 2007.

“He had only one girlfriend of his own age and these two relationships are the only ones he has ever had with women, which is quite exceptional today,” said Anne Fulda, his biographer.

During the campaign, Mr Macron denied rumours that he was gay. He has become a stepfather to Brigitte’s daughter, Tiphaine, and sons Sébastien and Laurence, although he is about their age. Brigitte’s seven grandchildren call him “Daddy”, according to Ms Fulda.

His plan to give his wife an influential role reflects his insistence that half of his movement’s candidates in next month’s parliamentary elections are women.

He describes himself as “a convert to feminism” and has pledged to defend equal pay and maternity leave.

90% of my ex were all older than me

edimolu:


Marinee?..,.Tel me a lil bou dis moniker....i bliv u aint new on here

No big deal. I know a renowned professor of Surgery in Ibadan, the wife was two years older. Dele Giwa was a year younger than the wife. The president elect of France is 39 ,the wife is 65 . I am 3 years younger than my babe.

ZarZar:


I'm still older to anyone younger And with age comes great experience that should be passed on like a baton

Nice try with the "you're not even 30" line. I plead the 5th.

How can you? but for the record, you started this, and I must watch till the end. . .

Marinee:
Looool..Nahh

alexialin:




Thanks for the best wishes but He already knows he's my king and I, his queen. We humour each other about it everyday.
And about the tiptoe stuff? Why would I want to live on tiptoes ?
My dear we are both freeminded individuals with similar likes coming together as one.
The only tiptoe I for see which av started on and am getting used to it, is dressing smartly and seductively.. I no longer, let's my body go like before. I no longer wear slacks or loose gowns like before. Cos back then , after series of breakups with older guys and guys my age. I just called it quit with dating and I focused all my energies on my biz and was planning on how to av interracial babies lol as marriage with older guys didn't work for me.
So I zeroed my mind on saving money so I can travel abroad and get preggy.

So no more makeups. No more tight fitting clothes , I will simply wear anything and am off to work , I stopped watching my weight. then one day, a strange number called. I picked nonchalantly and a lively deep voice on d background said , Happy new month dear. And am wishing u the best this month. I looked at d number again and I said pls I don't know u. Yur number is strange? Who are u? The voice chuckled at the background . And I was already fuming , cos its not funny!
So to cut long story short , we started dating after I drilled him with hot seat questions .
Then after few days of chatting and feeling comfortable around him, I said , guy! Am not that pretty ,and am fat! Cant u see! So sincerely its me u want to date of all the young slim pretty ladies out there . Are u OK??
He said princess , u have a lovely skin tone, and i swear u are not that fat! and what if i tell u. Am an african man and i love chubbg ladies , cos thats how i can describe u. So if u slim fit your clothes , wear tight hugging jeggings , rugged jeans with fitted tops , make lovely hair styles , u will look perfect and pls I beg u start wearing makeups , u will see how u will transform into a beauty. Just try it for like a month! If u don't like your looks , then don't answer my calls anymore and don't accept me as your boyfriend . deal?
I was just laughing all thru . I said OK? Let's do it . I don't like when one challenges me . u are on!
So thats how our journey started o. He always praises any new outfit I wear , he praises my makeup, he praises my hair..he's simply full of praises and buys me gifts ! Can u imagine ?? Lol. He pays off some of my personal bills . . Before a month I was glowing , everyone in my office were like wow! Alexia what happened to u.. U look so sweet ! Damn! Lol
My dear to cut this long story short again ..lol

My fiance. My king. My intending hubby brought me back to life all over again .
I had already given up on marriage before .
He's a very good man with a good heart . God bless my sweet boo boo.
I can't ask for more
And he's 26.

while me am 27 and looking for an older lady to marry... God go do my own because am tired of all these younger girls with their wahala.

Lol ok.....cos at first ur siggy shocked me

So wat happened to your main?

In this part of the world, some tribes consider marrying an older lady to being a taboo.

Also, due to our level of exposure in this part of the world it is not widely accepted by larger percentage of the population.

Most of those who truly engaged in this make it a top secret

Am OK with it. Infact, its even more fun: more mature, understanding and caring. It could even be cost-effective. And has the tendency to be long lasting relationship when the man behaves

edimolu:


Lol ok.....cos at first ur siggy shocked me

So wat happened to your main?

What is that thing you were going to tell me if I answered your question?

I got banned for a month.
