Reading this story, one wonders if South African homo Richard Thornton needs some tough love. The 53-year old former producer/director met his husband, Andries Jacobs at a mall, where the 20-year old Jacobs worked as a security guard. They married a few weeks later, committing themselves to a life together. Well, Thornton did, at least…
Though Thornton tells the Sunday Times that he and Jacobs agreed to share financial responsibility, he also admits that more often than not, he shelled out the dough: “He would beg me to buy things. It was all on my neck.” Thornton’s love-laden largesse apparently wasn’t enough for Jacobs, because a few measly weeks into their marriage he shacked up with another man. Gee, what a shocker!
Despite Jacobs’ transgression and sexual wanderlust, Thornton’s not ready to give up hope of eternal wedded bliss. He tells journo Khadija Bradlow that he’s not sure he’ll actually go through with the divorce, which he requested: “We are married. We are still legally married, until – if – the divorce comes through.” He goes on to assert his love – and the obvious: “I know that Andries is mine; but he’s very young … very young.” Yes, Thornton, he is – and, quite honestly, doesn’t sound like marriage material. Our advice to you: get the divorce over as quickly as possible. If not, we may have to come over there and slap you upside the head, you foolish, foolish man.

There is something wrong when a 53 year old thinks that he’s on the same mental level as a 20 year old. Thornton has bigger issues than a cheating husband… that of being delusional!
How can a 53 year old and a 20 year old be in the same place in thier life? Maybe it’s because a live in escort is still an escort, whether he takes cash or uses the bartering system. I’m not sure what the going rate is for a 20 year old ‘husband’ is… one has to compensate for… well… life in general. I’m sure there are more suitable ways to boost one’s ego.
Jacobs is a child… he’s acting like a child… he will continue to act like a child – I agree, he’s not ready to settle down (and why should he?? He’s TWENTY). Here’s a clue: Move on to someone more suitable AND more mature (and by “mature†I don’t mean “older†I just mean “matureâ€).
Why do people (men and women) always try to turn children in to marriage mates and then complain when it doesn’t work?
Really, what a good call – a very “unsurprising†story indeed…

I called this weeks ago. Young hustlers using older men to get stuff and divorcing them when the cash runs out. Living with a ywenty year old, fine. Marrying one?

No largesse required on my part: what a DUMBASS. I don’t know if it’s possible for any one man to be any stupider, blinded by lust or otherwise.

A gay golddigger! This 20 year old is WORKIN IT! This goes to show some gay June-December romances are the same as the straight relationships! WWAND? (What Would AnnaNicole Do?)

Paul Raposo says: “Young hustlers using older men to get stuff and divorcing them when the cash runs out.”
there is a thing called “growing up” – so as you get older, you SHOULD get wiser. if you’re 53 and you’re getting “taken” by a 20 year old… well, that’s just plain stupid. It’s a wonder you even made it to that age in the first place…
at 53 he ALREADY knows from some 38-or-so years of living, that this wasn’t a good idea and he STILL did it. the 20 year old has… what?… 5 years experience AT MOST… and with that he’s able to “hustle†someone who is almost 3 times his age?
please. everyone already knew what was going to happen… hence the caption “The Totally Unsurprising Details!” – but don’t go blaming the one with less experience because some 53 year old has a Viagra-throbbing lust that took over his sense of reason.
There are those that hustle, and then there are those that want to be hustled… and every major city has bars for them… but weddings are out of the question.

Uhh…Yeah Dawster, that’s why I wrote:
“Living with a twenty year old, fine. Marrying one?” Actually it was “ywenty year” but I was embarressed about the typo.
