What is your take on a relationship where there is an 18 year age gap? Yes, both have been legal adults for quite sometime. But what is your take on this or in reverse, where the woman is older? Either way, the gest of this discussion is the 18 year age difference. Please feel free to voice all opinions and concerns or offer any suggestions. This discussion may be very helpful to someone.

Dear friend,
I do hope love has no age barriers. This age variation as mentioned has been occured rarely even though I had hear few of it. Mostly about the celebrities who do this become a big highlighted news. Still I hope love and understanding each other are best parts of a good relationship age is just another side which may or may not give importance compared to the strength of love they have each other.

Thank you for responding. I greatly appreciate it. It actually made me feel better, and brought me back to the reality of my own beliefs. I guess I'm just a little nervous with this new relationship, due to the fact I recently got out of an engagement gone wrong. I'm nervous because I didn't expect for happiness to knock at my door again so soon. Age, as long legal, is not of importance to me, I guess I just needed to hear from my mylot family to reassure what I already know and feel. Thank you very much.

I think age doesn't matter in a relationship between two people who love each other. And it doesn't even matter whether the man or the woman is older. This big difference in age gap may impose a lot of differences between the partners but it's still them who could resolve their issues that come along the way. If they learn to accept each other's imperfection and learn to complement their weaknesses, then there's no reason for their relationship to succeed.

i have a friend she was just 22 when she met her husband. and that guy is 45 years old. i think love has no bounderies when it strikes you there is nothing you can do about it but just go for it. they are already married and has a 1 year old son. i think there are some pros and cons but if you really love each other then age doesnt matter. i and my ex husband are the same age but we didnt work it out and now have seperate lives. so it does not have to do with age gaps.

Yea I have to agree with the previous responses. Love knows no age. Though it may seem odd to others to see such a age gap in a relationship, it's all in how we were raised. But it can work, with right mindset.

My mom is 11 years younger than my dad and they have a wonderful marriage. I think as long as both people are on the same level and love each other then the relationship can work. It might be more rare for an older woman to be with a younger man but it still could work.
