The BIG AGE DIFFERENCE between Couple

I totally agree with you but like someone said it depends on the people. I am married to a man who is 22 years older then me and everything is going along fine. But I believe too it would have to be a good match for it to work.

The married or get along couple if are going good with every thing then there would not be a problem. Unless someone knows about secrets of life, everthing will be good.Society watches everything.Everyone wants what the other person is doing.Gossips all are over.World is not only having people who are positive thinkers. How many people who had responded to thsi discussion will go out and speak the same thing,how many will support such age difference.How come we dont need supporting votes for this big age difference between couples.How many will encourage . We are not living alone,we can not say do not peep into our personal matters, because now they are two , in future they will be four , what about the children future.When some application to be filled in for the school what age they write,will they write something wrongly, or can they support their or them selves. Once if an issue is fallen in the eyes of the public ,the public falls behind such issue ,until it fails it will not leave.

I think age is not the most important thing between partners although some people prefer younger or older partners. And of course, nobody should have anything to say about it.

Neither do I. I don't think age matters in a relationship. My current boyfriend is 7 years older than me and i don't think we have any communication problems like what people think we will have. Just that sometimes our topic are different. (But, this happens to every couple). And age is one factor why my parents do not agree to my relationship with my boyfriend. True love definitely can exist between couples who have differences in age. However, sometimes we need to understand that a relationship does not encompass only the 2 people. It involves both parties families and circle of friends too. I know i sound contradicting. But this is how i feel right now. However, if both parties in this relationship really love each other, they will definitely be able to stay together till the end despite all odds.

hi, i will agree with you,age really doesn't matter but now a days people used there young images to dig money with old man,especially when the man are really rich and this is happen vice versa.

What makes some women want or accept their partners much older than them? Why get involved sometimes young and beautiful women in relationships with men that could be parents? Maybe because women do not necessarily need the first stage, that of physical attraction, to fall in love. Maybe for them (for us) sometimes counts more than appearance reputation. Maybe the power, money, confidence, skillfully mastered metaphor is sometimes the most effective aphrodisiac. For men it's not the same, but rarely. Sure admire strength, greatness, intelligence, daring women, but they matter appearance, freshness, sensuality, above all. And perhaps this is why very few young men fall in love with much older partners and almost never venture beyond the stage, almost never marry her than the older ladies. Age matter in love? We must be the same age or close? Or, in the end, love does not prevent the birth data going away from each other? I do not have an answer. I could probably love a older man. Not younger, because every wrinkle I would have made ??me feel insecure. But is not compulsory, always be so.

It's really no-one else's business but human nature being what it is some people love to make a scandal out of anything so they can be the first to point the finger. My own experiences have been 2 serious relationships and one that did not get that far with guys who were 8 years younger than I. Strange but true...all 8 years. With the first one it wasn't just the age differences that caused the problems there were other factors. It was also the time that it happened...I was more responsible and settled with 2 kids almost in their teens, he was totally uncomprehending of that part of me. I was such a fool. The second serious relationship also failed but it had nothing to do with our ages, there were circumstances that came between us and he was not able to be honest with me. The other relationship was of no account, neither was the guy. All he had going for him was that he flirted with me and he was lovely and tall. LOL. People get together because they are attracted and they are compatible. How old each one is is totally irrelevant and far too much importance is placed on people's ages.

To be honest, Missybear, I really don't care who loves who or who sleeps with who as long as they are consenting adults. It's not my call to judge those things even if it appears odd....it's just not my place. I don't care about age difference or genders or promicuity or any of it. I just care about who I wake up to in the morning.

Hey missy. Well i can tolerate them and accept that they can love each other, but at the same time i also realise that they must have many differences - that does not mean that they can't be together of course, only that they really have to work for it.

None of my business. I think that all people deserve to be happy. Now if my daughter comes in with someone my age..I might need some time to get used to that idea..but it's none of my business what makes others happy.

i dont mind if they truly love each other but sometimes i feel sorry for the foreigner because its apparent that some of these people who date old man/woman are taking advantage of them..

Well I would marry someone or be in a relationship with someone who is 10 years older than me. But not more than that I think. And maybe a couple years younger but not too young. Well this is in my case but I don't really what other people do. I mean if they love and are Ok with it, we should be ok too!! =)

Some people make a big deal out of it because a lot of people said that its not good to look at. And they will embarrass themselves. But for me, age really doesn't matter when it comes to love as what you've pointed out in your post. 10 months ago, I had loved a 34 year-old man. We're not dating and he told me he loves me but he's so afraid that I might get hurt if we dated. So, he left. I don't know where he is right now.. My point is If you feel love towards someone, believe me... you won't care how other people thinks about you seeing a man older or younger than you. by the way.. our age gap is 11 years...It's not worse to love someone older than you. The worst thing about relationship is not about age. its about being disloyal to your partner.

no its not worse , of course , some may say , its not suit if we date or married the woman or man younger or older than us , or it could be our parent,family,relatives and the people around us , but , thats are their opinion ,its the couple choice to choose what ,we the outsider , just sit back and relax , watch how they are going , or , the other way , we can encourage them n give some support , or , we can say what in our mind , but then , the couple decide what to do , no need to rush , its not like we ageing fast , relax ,

To each their own would be my only response. I think it's less acceptable for a older woman to have a much younger man as her partner. But with the concept of a "cougar" becoming mainstream perhaps it will become more acceptable?

Totally depends on the people. I knew a couple where the woman was 30 years older, and they were right for each other. And surprisingly she outlived him.

my wife is 12 years younger than me; 20 years together! age really doesn't matter between a couple, but on certain cases others especially skeptics and self-proclaimed morally righteous tend to oppose otherwise, lol! seriously, i am not affected whatsoever of what other's think as long as it does not do harm to my family.

Hi missybear, No for me age is not a problem and or issue, for me as long as they do love each other and both are mature to handle a relationship that is all that really matters.

I agree with you.As long as there are no illegal problems,I don't interrupt such things no matter if there's trur love or not because everyone has his or her principles of life.In fact we can see lots of examples that aged men married younger women nowadays,and it helps keep the steadiness of the sociaty.
