Age Difference

Well my girl was two and a half years older than me and I lost her when I was about 17. Something about that at this link: http://www.mylot.com/w/discussions/1374886.aspx But no on, same as you now for life! My wife is three and a half years younger than I am, and we have been married to each other for more than 28 years now, and it seems that we've just met yesterday.

The largest one I ever had was with a guy who was 27 and I was 19. He was 7 years and about two months older than me. It was funny, though, he was about as immature as guys my age.

The biggest age difference was and is 8 1/2 years. My husband is 41 years old (soon to be 42) and I am 33. Our age difference has never been a problem for us and we have been together for almost 17 years now (married almost 14 of those years).

Currently I'm 22 and my boyfriend is 26. Before I used to be about a year older then most my boyfriends. Maybe that's why they never worked out!

Just about 11 years. My ex husband was 11 years older than me, my current husband is also 11 years older than me. I am 34 and he is 45. I think that maturity is not equal between the genders, so age differences are representative of the fact that many people will gravitate towards others who are equal in standing that way, not age. To make this even more interesting, I've also dated people who were younger, up to 3 years younger. Would I look in that direction again - not necessarily. I don't expect to ever be single again lol. Older people are GENERALLY more stable and secure interpersonally, financially, job status or enjoyment, and more at peace with themselves. These are all important qualities to me because that tends to mean they may be more internally happy with life. This tends to make more facets of the relationship rewarding.

i am on my first date and i am about 5 months older than her. she a classmate of mine.And it's just we are having fun and talking. you can't call it as dating.

The biggest agr difference between myself and my ex-boyfriend was 3 years really not a big difference. I will either go a year younger than me,my age,or up to 3 yrs older than me that's about it. I never was the one to date one 8 to 10 yrs older than me.

Boyfriend is about five years older and wiser than I am.

My fiance is 43 and I am 32 and that is the biggest age difference I've had. The men I've dated before him have been around my age, or a few years older than me, so it is the first time that I am in a relationship with someone who is 11 years older than me. The age difference has never been a problem for us, and I don't think much about it in my daily life.

When I was a freshman in high school I dated a senior, until he turned 18 then my parents freaked! We were four years apart, which would be nothing now that I'm 28 and he's 32.... *shrug* it's weird how that works. The age difference is the same but when you're older it doesn't seem like as much.

The biggest age difference between a guy that I was dating and me was about 7 years. I was 19 at the time and he was 26. He was a HUGE mistake and I definitely learned A LOT from that relationship.

i dated a woman ...11 years elder to me ..and she was so sweet...i think its better that there is some age difference between the partners...it has many advantages... -you wont feel jealous of her friends at any time -she will be more mature than you,so more emotional stability in your relationship -the elder partner can share his/her experiences with life.. -generally the elder partner will be well settled in life

OK, after meeting everyone else's responses I'm not sure I want to answer this question anymore! Do I have to be honest? lol I think I have by far had the biggest age difference of anyone who is yet posted. OK, going to bite the bullet and tell you the truth; there was a 20 year difference. Even though that relationship has now ended, I do not regret having that relationship nor do I think our age differences were the reason we split up. And I think that we were very compatible in terms of our maturity, our interests, and our past experiences. In a nutshell, I don't think that age matters in relationship. What does matter is your compatibility with one another, as your age and your looks as well as many other things will change throughout the years. That's just my opinion.

Yeah, 3 years is a big difference...Cmon. I had an age difference of 25 years. He could be my father, if You know what I mean. I thought he might be a pedophile or something, but no- nothing like that. Normal relationships with a possibility to be a long term relationship. But I could not accept this, when I think of children and how horrible for them would be to have a father at the age of grandpa! So, it finished. But it was beautiful period of my time. Got my lesson out of it, though.

mine was 6 years...this happened twice.. first was the guy was 27 while im 21..then after 2 months we broke up and i met a guy whose at the same age and he was my bf for 2 years and then we broke up

Mine would be 7. She's 18 and i was 25. Don't know what crossed our minds. She eventually became my girlfriend but didn't last long. She's too excited about college and i just don't find her mentally stimulating enough. We lasted for just a month and we broke up. We just decided to end it mutually without prejudice. Now i heard from a friend that she's getting married from someone i do not know. I couldn't care less. I also had a girlfriend who's three years older than me.

The biggest age difference that I ever had was with one of my girlfriends... Well, that means she is my ex-girlfriend now. Our age different was 14 years. At first we though that such a big gap would be no problem to us but we were wrong as we had so much problems and in teh end we had decided to call it off. Currently I am married and the age different between my wife and I is only 9 years now and it looks like this gap is workable for the both of us. 9 years is not really a big different and therefore, we are now enjoying our married life and have been blessed with a son so far. In general, I feel that age different is a good thing to have in a relationship so that we would be able to exchange views from different perspective rather than getting stuck with people of teh same age. Anyway, that is just my opinion. Have a nice day and Cheers.

The biggest difference for me was almost 5 years. I was 20 and he was almost 25. I didn't find that it made much of a difference; in fact, I was a lot more mature and responsible than he was! My fiance is only 15 days my senior, we were actually high school sweet hearts that ended up back together. I find that we're very much on the same level with everything, age included.

I have maximum 2 years difference with my patner she is 20 and i am 22 we are very happy and there is no difference between us we enjoy a lot

I am married to a man 5 years older than me.As for me, my general perspective to this issue is that, in a relationship age difference is not a big deal on the matter, considering age and maturity varies on every individual, for it is how well a person takes the responsibility.However, in our society the preferred status is for a man to be older than the woman. Attributed to this is a sign of superiority, for the woman should be submissive to the man. Anyhow for a relationship to last, it now depends on the couple on how they will handle the relationship.
