Don't they say sugar daddy or cradle robber?

They could have at least upgraded you to a tiger if you really did not look like a cougar from how long it took for your coworkers to figure that one out between you and your husband. Tigers are much sexier than cougars. :P

Age doesn't really matter...they'll quit soon...

It could be worse; I wasn't even BORN when my fella graduated high school! He told me a while back that he met three girls his first day of high school and proposed to one and married the other two and I joked that I'd run out of high school sweethearts and picked a sweetheart just out of high school. Just roll with it, if it doesn't bother you other people will just let it go eventually.

So quit whining and go with it. A little good natured teasing never hurt anyone.

Did you start dating him back then? If so, your nickname should be "statutory rapist."

"Cougar" has negative connotations, but if you aren't out to corrupt or manipulate your man I would accept the name as a compliment. Besides, can you help it that you've aged a little better than others?

If you really want to shut them up, you're going to have to bring in an actual cougar and let it take care of them. Seriously though, I wouldn't worry about it too much. Technically, a "cougar" is a woman in a romantic relationship with a younger man, which you are. That doesn't mean it's a bad thing. If that's all they're calling you, they probably don't really care, it just sounds like they're joking around.

YDI, but hey, the nickname comes with a man who was in kindergarten when you were in high school, so woot! :)

Wow
