The age gap, hardly make it work for a couple

I am ten years younger than my girlfriend. However, everything seems to be working great for us . I am immature at times and my girlfriend says she does not act her age, what I told her was 'Then that's great! We can grow old together!' Age doesn't matter when it comes to love. As long as you find that 'spark', that connection between the two of you, no matter how old the two of you are, go for it. What if you meet someone who is ten years younger than you, and you happen to feel that spark, would you just ignore it and forget about her just because of her age? By doing this, you are deprieving yourself of an opportunity to love. Keep you heart and mind open for these kinds of situations.

Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough. Have a nice dayfrom Deeeky

well i think about 4 plus or minus age gap would be fine. its not a huge gap and i still think understanding could and would still be alright for couples. one just has to be understanding and patient when it comes to working things out.

I agree with you. The generation gap means a lot for a relationship. Since they have a big gap between the age, and therefore they will have different favorites, hobbies, opinions and so on. Sometimes it will lead to a disagreement. So I still prefer to have a relationship with someone who is similar with my age. I love China

Here is where you are wrong, although you touched on what really matters - which is NOT age but maturity. Two people who are at the same point in life at the same time, same goals, same interests, same envisioned future - can make anything work, regardless of age. Age is a NUMBER. Yes, I get what you're saying about the 21 year old partying and having fun, but when I was 21, I had an apartment, a full time job, and a boyfriend who was 4 years older who was a lazy bum, had a 3 year old daughter, and still lived with his mom lol. Can't use age to judge, sorry. My ex husband was 10 years older than me and everything was great until he went nuts. My current husband is 10 years older than me and everything is great.

What I know is the feelings between couple, if there is love nothing can compare to age differences and social differences. That is what I think. No offend. Have a nice day!

You know, somebody once told me there's always an exception... What you said may be true but I Personally have no problem with age differences... And I'm not talking about just few years... My most recent ex-girlfriend was 28 years older than I was & we couldn't be happier... She had 2 daughters & younger one was 2 years older than I was... She lost her husband when she was fairly young... Then when her daughters came of age when they could take care of themselves, older daughter ended up in hospital for 6 years... She pretty much spent all her time taking care of her & her other daughter... When her older daughter finally got better & got back on her feet, my ex girlfriend decided to go out on dating scene again & that's how we met... Few weeks after my 32nd birthday, she turned 60... Few things happened that we ended up breaking up but the reason had nothing to do with our age difference or personality difference due to our age gap... I truly believe a relationship with huge age gap still can work if both person involved are willing to work at it... But then again, I believe every relationship is no different & they all need effort from both party...

Over 34 with a 21 year old? How much over? That's asking for trouble. I think if the table was turned where she was 34 and he was over 44, that's a different story. 21 is way immature. Hope that was a lesson learned for him.

it's really not in the age. age is just a number. it's the level of maturity, the level of understanding, and the mindset of the persons involved in a relationship. my partner and i, we have 8 years age gap, but things are going smoothly with our relationship.the key is constant communication, understanding, and acceptance. if you really love each other,you'll talk of your differences and the conflicts that may arise, so you will be able to know how to avoid having conflicts, thus avoiding fights.

Hello Kingparker, Age is always a concern between couple.I also have seen many couples where husband's age is much greater than the wife's age and certainly it badly effects their life because of the level of their thinking. This is for sure people who are greater in the age they think differently than the one's who have lesser age.

I think women mature faster than men, I would prefer a man who is older than me with atleast five years but not more than that. For older couples is possible for relationship to work even with that gap, I think it probably a problem when it comes to an older person marrying a very young girl. Mostly it work.

for me, couples with big age gaps may work depends on their ages or how mature they are to handle their relationship..ages like your friend and his ex, mostly don't work because the girl isn't mature enough..but i have a friend who's 25 and her husband is 40+..and yes..they have a happy marriage..it just only depends on how mature each other and how willing they are to compromise..

sure age is big thing..more couples lack understanding becoz of age difference...
