But it wasn't the same for Tanya, who found him 'loud and annoying' at first.
A year after breaking up with their previous partners, the pair began dating but it was a rocky start.
Josue said his emotional immaturity got in the way as he acted 'toxic' and would check through her phone.

"I don't tell him what to do I don't mummy him," he added.
For those who troll the couple over the age gap, Tanya has one thing to say.
"When we got together, he was 21 and I was 38, at 21 years old you're able to drink alcohol, you're able to gamble, you're able to go to war for your country why are you not able to love who you want?" she asked.

I married an older man for his money, I planned to milk him dry but now we're in love – trolls still don't believe me

AFTER matching with a sugar daddy online, one woman was shocked when their relationship turned from financial support into true love. Carrie, 31, matched with her soon-to-be husband on Tinder, planning to "milk him dry". 2 Randy, 64, and Carrie, 31, are now engaged after first matching on Tinder five years ago Credit: YouTube / Truly And while 64-year-old Randy admits he knew her intentions were financially motivated, he set out to change her priorities. With Randy hoping for love and Carrie simply seeking a sugar daddy, he joked that they would "see who comes out on top". And as it turns out, Carrie was able to "get the bag" while also falling in love. "Randy started off as my sugar daddy and now we're in love so I'm finally marrying my sugar daddy," she explained on the Truly Show. The couple first met on Tinder five years ago, with Carrie openly seeking financial help and Randy, fresh from a 25 year marriage adament to never marry again. Thinking they were both in the relationship for a fun time, not a long time, Carrie admits: "My first intention was to milk him dry." But when Randy told her to give him a month to change her life, she decided to take a chance. Randy claims he fell in love with his fiance within six months, and soon changed his mind on marriage. And despite people calling Carrie a gold digger, Randy said her honesty about her financial situation only attracted him more. Now, she calls him her "first and last sugar daddy", joking that she gets him a pack of gum for special occasions while he lavishes her with whatever she wants. I'm 32 years younger than my man - his son's only 2 years older than me & trolls call me a gold digger but we're in love Randy revealed that the most expensive thing he has ever purchased for Carrie was her engagement ring, popping the question in Vegas. And while he originally intended to elope on that same trip, the couple are now planning a big wedding with no budget. With no wedding date in place as of yet, the couple are enjoying the engagement phase, with Carrie already having signed a prenup. Randy shared that his bride is already in his will anyway. And when it comes to haters, the couple said they don't care as they are "having a blast".

Shortly after their engagement, the couple welcomed a son and married in 2000. The judgement is mostly from online trolls, with most people in real life simply mistaking them for father and daughter. Randy joked that he often gets a thumbs up from other men when they realise the nature of their relationship. He added that he loves the attention they receive when they walk into a room. More on age gap relationships Another woman met her husband when she was 19 and he was 41, and now they have a family together. And a 25-year-old woman shared the backlash she receives for dating a 76-year-old man. A woman who is dating a man 32 years older than her revealed that she is often called a gold digger. Plus, a couple with a 21-year age gap shared an insight into their relationship. People say how another age gap couple met is a red flag but they disagree.

THE HISTORY OF DUNNES STORES DUNNES Stores opened its first store on Patrick Street in Cork in 1944 - and it was an instant hit. Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.
