Relationship with a big gap on ages,

@tech40 Yeah I have. Like 14 years gap I think it was. I think any age gap is fine but as long as it's not something creepy like a 40 year old and a 15 year old or something like that. Apart from that, as long as the couple is happy, no one should be trying to stick their noses into their business. I understand there can be concerns but....it's all up to the couples really.

I have.. my ex was 10 years older than I am. I think it had a big reason why we ended in divorce.

I tend to like older men. My last boyfriend was 11 years older than I, and for the most part, we were VERY compatible. Sometimes, he insistence on calling me "kid" did get on my nerves, but other than that, I really didn't have problems with it. I think that *he* did, and it scared him a bit. My current boyfriend is seven years older physically, but about 20 years plus younger emotionally. I think I've only been involved with one man my age as an adult, but it turned out that he still had a girlfriend. I've never had luck with anyone my own age.

I never think age gap will give difference with relationship it all about understanding and on how you guys find each other comfortable with each other. I look older that my hubby but he is only a year older than me tho hahaha??

I'm 18 and my fiance is 20 and we're both in the army. I have dated a guy a few months younger than me before. And the majority of the guys I've been with before my fiance were about four years older than me.

Historically this is pretty common for younger girls and women especially to older men 5-35 years or more older than themselves. For security, and for love as well in many cases. Lately I have seen a trend of a lot of young women 18-24 marry men 17-25 years older than themselves. And in one case 45 years older than her. 3 of these young women are my granddaughters. The older two are 21 and 22 and both have children. The oldest one is going to have her third baby in the fall. She has two boys already. The the other has one child so far who is 2 and both their husbands are 38-39. Another granddaughter married a man who is 64 and she is 20. They are happy and doing well and planning on having a baby soon as possible. A friend of theirs is engaged to a 42 year old man and she is 21. I am hearing from some friends of mine some of their grandaughters too are dating or engaged or getting married to men 12-25 years older.

Good afternoon, I think that its always up to the couple really. I always wonder, as I am sure others do as well about how old they will be in certain years. And how one of them might have a downclimb in their health, making them not as active as the other. Now I know that this really doesnt matter since tomorrow is never promised no matter how old or young you are. So knowing that to be the truth, what really matters is that both of you are truly happy and no one is using the other for any reason. But thats true no matter what the age also.

I have had friends that were a lot younger than me but not technically boyfriends. I usually am with someone in a relationship that is the same age or older. The biggest difference I have found is the different tastes in music. You know, the kind of people that can not get out of their own era of music to open their minds to any new stuff. The physical part is sometimes harder to deal with but that could happen at any age. Good luck with your girlfriend! I think as long as the two of you get along good and have a lot in common it will most likely work!

Well, its age does not matter when you love. Love can be at any age. I have ex-girlfriend who was 1 year older than me. That is my first relationship. 70 years old man can marry a 20 years old girl is still normal.

My ex husband was younger than me. Most of the guys I've dated have been younger, but not by a huge difference. The oldest guy I dated was in his mid 30s (even though he dressed like a 50 year old man) and I was about 24. I had to show him ID because he according to him I looked like a 16 year old. He was cool in some way except for the fact he was more like a grumpy old dad toward me than a boyfriend.

Love is not determined by age. The older people get, the less difference age makes. You would not want a 15 year old with a 25 year old, but it is different for a 25 year old and a 35 year old. Also, it doesn't matter which one is older. Be it the man or the woman, love will happen when it happens.

When you are in love or when you start loving or when you are in love age does not comes in your way. You just start loving each other and you two fall in love which later develop into relationship. Once in relationship it yours love, trust and confidence in each other that makes your relationship stronger. I have seen so many cases when girl is elder to boy or in other words wife is older then her husband and still they are in good relationship. When husband can be elder to his wife always why not wife could be elder to her husband?

My boyfriend/partner is 7 years older than me. One of the traits Im looking for is that a guy should at least be 5 years older, because I think that they are more mature and can handle a relationship well compared to younger men. And I wanted to be pampered so that's why.

My boyfriend is alot older than me.....Alot. But it doesn't mean a thing. We have so much in common and we are both very attracted to each other. The age gap never comes into it. I am mature for my age (23) and he is fun-loving and doesn't always act his age. These two things combined make our relationship fantastic because we can have great fun but also have intelligent conversations. I consider myself very lucky that I have such a loving and devoted partner. We don't have any problems with anybody judging us on the age gap. Luckily, everyone has been very accepting. Thanks for sharing!

Yes, I did have a boyfriend who was about 7 years younger than I am. But never have i felt the age difference when we were together. I was just as normal as any woman in a very loving relationship.

Hi friend, my wife is 7 years younger than me and we don't have any issues in our relationship. Age is not a factor for a relationship if we have good understanding with our partner. As you mentioned girls will get more maturity in their young ages, so there is nothing wrong in marrying a girl who is younger than us

Yes, I knew one like that of your situation. My friend and her husband has a gap of four years. My friend is very charming and pretty so she doesn't look older than her husband. Her husband is more mature when it comes to life and principles so they are compatible. Ages doesn't defines happy and healthy relationships. It is an exemption. I do have an ex boyfriend younger than me and it did not work. So I preferred a guy older than me.

Hi, I am one of those whose my partner is 21 older than me. But it works well....

My husband is 10 years younger than me, I was born 1970 and he 1980. Imagine I was already in 4th grade when he was born! Physically it is noticeable that I'm older but I think mentally he is more matured. I'm fortunate to have married this man because he's a very responsible husband and does not waste time and money on useless things. He's very committed to the relationship so it's really not on the age, age really does not matter.

See dear there no perfect recipie of perfect relationship, it hardly matters where you are elder or younger, your minds and hearts must be bif in order to hold onto the relationship
