writes:Hi,My husband and I are very far apart in age. He is 15 years my senor. I am 30 and he is 45. We are very happy together and are going to have a baby now. I've never had a problem with his age and we are quite compatible. But, everytime he meets people he lies about my age and says that I am 35 instead of 30. He even lied to his co-workers and said the same thing. I asked him if he was ashamed of me he said no. But, he does it all the time and it makes me feel really sad. My question is Why does he lie about my age to people when I never lie about his?

I dont think he has any issues with you. Some Men in my experience, begin to have new thoughts and worries as they reach mid-40's. It's about thoughts of death, fear of mortality and such. And with a new baby on the way sounds like to me that is what he is going through.
If he treats you well and is a loving husband, I wouldnt sweat the small stuff. Love him and love & enjoy that new baby!

I don't think he feels ashamed. I think it's more likely that he's worried people will judge him for having a younger wife. However, that doesn't' give him a reason to lie - especially by adding on 5 years!
I would tell him that you won't continually put up with lying, and the next time he lies, you'll jump in and tell them you're 30 and even get your driver's license out to prove it. He really shouldn't be lying.
