A 45-year-old woman, charged with ending a domestic dispute by killing her 26-year-old husband of five days, is a registered lobbyist for a group fighting domestic violence.

Arelisha Bridges was ordered held without bond in the Fulton County Jail. She is scheduled for a preliminary hearing later this month on charges of felony murder, murder, aggravated assault and possession of a firearm during the commission of a felony.

Officials said Bridges claimed she was unemployed. But records show she is a lobbyist for an organization called the National Declaration for Domestic Violence Order; its Web site says the group is pushing legislation to create a database of those convicted of sex crimes or domestic abuse. ...

She's probably not known for her perseverance.

I was more stricken by the age difference than the five days.

Another community organizer goes down in flames...

My husband is a wee bit younger than me.  :uhsure: It's never been a problem, but it is amusing sometimes, like the difference in our musical tastes(he's learned so much from me  :-)).  I doubt we'd be compatible if there were a 20 year gap, though.

I guess she can't claim a history of domestic violence drove her to it.

Holy shit--if I married someone that butt-ass ugly she wouldn't have to murder me, I'd off myself for putting the wood to her...

Apparently they've not exactly been the perfect happy couple:

If they had a long term volatile relationship and still decided to get married, neither one of them must have much sense. Maybe she just recently got the life insurance policy on him ?

She's uglier than homemade sin.

Not only is she a wack job, but the article said she was seen getting into her car wearing a nightgown and a shower cap.

Jeezus. A shower cap. Why in the hell would she be worried about getting that head of "hair" wet?

My dad was 20 years older than my mom and I was 20 years younger than her. My dad was 40 when I was born, obviously.

I'm older than the wife by several years. I was 50 when my only child (a son) was born.

But even better than that is this true story.

I went to see my dentist. He was getting old and I had been seeing him since I was a kid. He knew everybody in the county and their family history. So I said to him, "I guess you heard I've gotten married again and had a child." He goes, "Yes I did and , congradulations." Then I said, "Kindda foolish a man my age having kids this late in life ain't it." He says, "Oh, I don't know about that. My dad was 64 when I was born and there were 2 more after me." I didn't feel near as bad about my age and parenthood after that.... :rotf:

Tony Randall, the actor who played Felix Unger on the TV series "Odd Couple" had a daughter well into his 80s. Of course, his wife was 50 years younger than he was.  :lmao:

I never said there was anything wrong with it, but daddy needs to be able to play ball after his afternoon nap.  :p

I'm a "bit" younger than my lovely bride.

Hasn't been a problem in our 15 years of wedded bliss.

Ummm, I think he fast-forwarded right to the graveyard. He passed a couple-three years ago.
