A significant age gap between spouses often draws criticism from others. Many people are quick to judge couples when they see a notable difference in age. Our protagonists today embody such a scenario, with a 39-year age gap between them.

Victoria, aged 22, began her career in regional media after graduating from university. Meanwhile, Boris Yakovlevich had retired and was focusing on his health, spearheading the ‘Revival of the Urals’ movement to promote a healthy lifestyle among youth. Victoria initially sought to interview him.

Their first encounter didn’t spark any immediate feelings between them. However, they frequently crossed paths at various events afterward. Tragically, Boris had already lost his beloved wife at that time, making it challenging for him to overcome the loss. Victoria, too, was facing her own difficulties despite having been married without finding happiness.

Over time, their prolonged interaction revealed mutual feelings between them. The significant age gap initially troubled Boris, who never imagined he would one day marry someone so much younger.

 

Victoria’s parents supported her choice wholeheartedly, prioritizing their daughter’s happiness above all else. Together, Boris and Victoria are raising their young daughter, Eva.

While they may not be wealthy, Boris and Victoria strive to provide for their daughter’s needs. Victoria plans to pursue psychology studies to help families facing challenges similar to theirs.

Boris has grandchildren from his previous marriage, but unfortunately, they struggle to accept their father’s new relationship and rarely engage with Victoria and Eva at family gatherings.
