I married someone 23 years my senior. Despite the hardships, I don't regret it
Multiple partners, age-gap relationships, and height differences. What happens when love challenges entrenched social norms? To explore tensions of taboo relationships, why some relationships make us uncomfortable and the question of who decides what is acceptable, watch Insight episode Taboo Relationships Tuesday 17 June at 8.30PM on SBS or live on SBS On Demand . I was 22 and just out of a relationship when I was ardently pursued by a much older man. It changed the course of my life. My first impression of Phillip was unremarkable. He was a big man with a wry grin, but at 45 years old, he was not a person I would have considered as a romantic partner. He applied the strategy 'persistence beats resistance' to our courtship with calls, flowers and cards — and eventually, he succeeded. I fell very much in love with him. Despite the age gap , we had a common thread of similar interests. I was an avid horse rider, and he appreciated a fine horse. He had an Aussie larrikin sense of humour I adored; and he made me feel safe and secure. Two of his adult children were older than me; this made me anxious. After three months of dating, Phillip asked me to move in with him. It was at this point I felt I had to disclose the relationship to my family and friends. It was not without some trepidation. There were mixed reactions. My parents were, understandably, concerned about the age difference. Both my parents and my siblings were strongly opposed to the relationship. They eventually came around but for a period of about 18 months, I had limited contact with my parents. My friends were perplexed yet initially accepting. However, it quickly became apparent that my much older partner would not be included in social events. As a result, I would go to events on my own — and eventually, I stopped going altogether. The relationship was ostensibly alienating me from my peers. Phillip's adult children seemed reasonable about the relationship; however, I felt they thought it was a 'casual arrangement'. As time went by and they realised the relationship was serious, their reaction to the union was varied. I remained very conscious of the discomfort surrounding our relationship. I didn't resent the discomfort at the time, and I don't now. I understand how the relationship was viewed. What I did take offence to, was how I often felt dismissed and ignored by some people. Apparently, I was called a "gold digger" behind my back and often felt people thought of me as a vacant piece of arm candy. At this time, I was working as an executive secretary among professors and scientists — as well as being a part-time published writer. I was certainly no fool. In public, we were often mistaken for father and daughter, particularly at restaurants and functions. While I found this embarrassing, he found it humorous. We had been together for nearly a decade when our daughter was born in 2004. Phillip was 55 at the time; and despite expressing some initial discomfort at being a father again at his age, he loved her deeply. Throughout the relationship, I would prescribe the term 'power imbalance' to explain the route it took. Phillip was older and financially secure; this meant I felt that he would dismiss my ideas and not consult me. Phillip had some minor and major illnesses during our time together. His heart condition and malignant high blood pressure culminated in a stroke when I was four months pregnant with Halle. Another mild stroke and several hospitalisations followed in the years after. He was a difficult man to help. After 22 years together, we separated and maintained an amicable relationship thereafter. Despite the split, I encouraged Halle to have a good relationship with her father. As she grew up, she came to accept that Phillip wasn't a traditional dad. She became aware that the wide gap in age and generation meant that understanding each other was often fraught with old versus modern. In 2023, Phillip died unexpectedly. He was in his mid-70s. I spent 22 years with him; despite the highs and lows and others viewing our relationship as "taboo", we have a beautiful, intelligent daughter. Through this relationship, I also learnt so much about myself and others. Looking back, I cannot say I would not have done this if I had my time over.

Shocking detail in Katie Price's latest poolside pics
British model and reality star Katie Price has been pictured poolside in a bikini in Spain – with bloodied medical dressings on her bum. The surgically enhanced star, 47, was photographed in a tiny pink bikini on the Spanish island of Ibiza, removing her bikini top at one point to sunbathe topless. But it was Price's lower half that caused more of a stir: She had medical dressings attached to each of her buttocks, with Price appearing to have bled through both of them. Price had a surgical bum lift back in January, but has since then reportedly used filler to pump up her derrière even more. This isn't the first time the mum-of-three, whose schedule of cosmetic surgery procedures has appeared to go into overdrive in recent years, has been photographed poolside fresh from a surgical procedure. In August last year, she caused a stir at the five-star Sheraton Ataköy hotel in Istanbul, Turkey, where she swam in the hotel pool despite having just undergone a $20,000 facelift. According to a review on TripAdvisor, one guest slammed Price for using the pool with open wounds. 'Who wants to relax and dine at a hotel looking at someone with blood all over their face, staples holding their scalp on and incisions weeping with pus,' the guest wrote, as per Daily Mail. 'Oh and she used the swimming pool as well … I'm not sure this hotel should be used as a recovery facility for plastic surgery.' Surgery-mad Price revealed in April that she had plans to undergo a fourth Brazilian bum lift (BBL) surgery. 'I'm about to see the surgeon now, he's just joined the clinic about sorting my butt out,' she told her followers on social media. 'It's like a deflatable balloon and I want some volume in it.' But sources say those close to Price are concerned at the escalating rate of her cosmetic surgery touch-ups, coupled with her noticeably slimmer frame over the past year. A source told OK! magazine: 'Her friends and family are worried about her as she has lost a lot of weight very quickly, and she wants to go back under the knife for more work.' 'She wants to have her ears corrected and her bum lifted with filler, but people who care about her are worried that she's not healthy or strong enough to be going on an operating table,' they said. It's estimated that, among other procedures, Price has had 17 cosmetic surgeries on her breasts and six facelifts over a 26-year period, at a total cost of more than $1 million. 'I will never stop with this surgery. I want to be a Bratz doll,' she vowed last year. 'It's my body and I do what I want to do. That's how it should be: Your body, your choice.'
