difference of age between partners

I am 55 years young and my partner is 29 years old. That is a big age difference to some but it makes no difference to us at all. If two people love each other, there should be no barriers on account of age. My partner is quite mature for his age, while I have always got along better with younger people. We are ideally suited really

I think that age difference between partners doesn't matters if there is a gud understanding n rapport between them. We can see ppl marrying regardless of their castes or relogion then why this age becomes d barrier. Ya men like to marry younger woman coz they want that their wives to b more beautiful then they are.

I really don't think love has any age limit.I think people fall in love and never should be so concerned about age,unless of course the gap is just way big between ages..Everyone is different ....a man at 50 for example can act like they are 80,where another man at 50 may have the attitude of a 30 year old..It really depends on the person...Women like older men sometimes because that man has learned how to treat a woman where the young guy is insensitive...Personally,now that i am a little older,I sometimes feel its best for the woman to be the older one and I will tell you why....I see all these women that have lost their husbands and are alone in there later years,and to me they are lonely and sad..I see this a lot because I work in a beauty salon...Im not sure why but men seem to die yonger than women,it could be their jobs or it could be that they do not take care of themselves like women do(healthwise)But women usually run the house and take care of a lot,and if they marry a younger man they tend to have a longer marriage and don't lose their husbands as often as women who are younger...That is not the way it alwys id but it happens a lot....I think you should go by how you feel..My daughter married a guy and she is 14 years older,she is healthy and viberant and hes the one that is wearing down faster than her..So thats just a few suggestions on my part for whatever its worth...

I don't think that age really matters if two people are truly in love. Even though the two might be from different generations and in different points in their lives, that can make the relationship more exciting, because they can learn from each other's different experiences and enrich each other's lives that way. My husband is ten years older than me, which I know isn't a terribly huge difference, but many people were still a little surprised when we started dating because of the age difference. However, I have found that most of the time, I forget that there is any age difference at all, because it's just not important. The relationship I have with my husband is SO much better than any relationship that I've ever had with a man who is my own age, and in fact, there is no comparison! I couldn't be happier, and I know that he feels the same way.

It isn't much of a problem, really if you both don't make it a problem. My husband is 8 years older than I am and the relationship is great. Males mature later than women generally so I consider having found an older husband an added blessing by God. I haven't also felt any attraction towards someone younger or nearer my age group because I did not like the happy go lucky stance. I wanted security in a relationship and luckily, I found it in the older man I married.

i think this is the social problem,because from time to time,man have the great power to ruled the worldso they no respect the woman and the woman didnt have the voice to speak what they think since this have going many year so people will feel if woman love the younger man then it bring shame on them,now have little better already but if we want to change this kind of mind we need wait more years

I think true love wont matter age limit yea ... the most important thing is that both party love each other and don't mind how others look at them yea ...

ali I use to think that age was a big thing also, back in the day it really was a big thing they always wanted you to make sure that you were with someone younger if you were female.But in this day and age I do not agree with the age problem to me if two people get along and can keep a healthy relationship age should not factor into that at all..My boyfriend is 6 years younger than me, I only dated one man older and that just didn't work, why well won't go there..lol Athough I do not think someone under 18 should be some date someone 18 or older without her parents consent cause of all the trouble the 18 year old could get into now a days...It is too easy to ruin someones life that way...Follow your heart is the best advice I can give.

Having a boyfriend or girlfriend who is 10 or more years elder or younger shouldn't be practised. It is like making love to one's parent.

I don't believe age makes a difference. I've dated someone 22 years older than myself, my mom is with a guy who's 13 years older than her, and my sister has just broken up a 7 year relationship with her partner who was 12 years older than her. My mother is very happy in her relationship, they complement each other perfectly. My sister only broke off her relationship because her partner has a drink problem and she didn't want her kids exposed to that, and I broke off my relationship with the man 22 years older than me because of intense pressure from others that what we were doing "wasn't right." It got so bad we were having people shouting insults at us in the street and I got scared to even go out the door. We sat down and agreed it would be best for us to split, although we'd remain firm friends. Of course, once the news broke that we'd split, everyone was saying how they always knew it wouldn't last and so on. There was more than one gossip monger who had me knocking on their door and telling them to keep their f**king noses out of my business.

I am a young girl who was living with a guy that was seven years older than i was. I met him when I was 19 and we dated for 3 years but as I started to get older and concentrate more on my future career goals and life goals, he stayed the same. He still has the same job and before we moved in together, he had no plans of moving out. The age might not have been a problem if he would have just had the same drive and determination as me. Or if we were at least on the same level.

According to me i would choose my partner to be two or three years elder than me. The reason behind is that as elder people came through different things, they know what is good and what is bad, so they can lead us to a right way. As many people are facing marital affairs and again it is due to age difference. So, again always my choice would be two or three years elder than me.

i believe that marriages are arranged in heaven and we just find them on earth so it doesn't matter whether girl is younger or boy ,they are from same community ,country ,or race or not and there are millions of examples to prove it.

Age and looks are both important.

As far as I know, us women don't hide that fact...I haven't seen anyone hiding it yet. As for age, there are no proven obstacles. The only obstacles that can happen are the ones that you allow to happen. This can happen with any relationship regardless of the ages of the people involved in it. If you do not allow yourself to drift apart, then you won't. Age is a number, it does not tell you how mature people are etc.

It all depends on the partners and not on society in general.But letss say there is a difference of 20 years what will happen in another 30 years, when for example you are 50 and he is 80?? Won't that affect in any way?

Age is but a number anymore. I don't think it is as big of an issue as it is made out to be. My wife and I are 5 years apart. Many people commented on this but we were both fine with it. I think this is something for the couple to decide what is best.

Age is just a number,if you don't mind being with a younger man,then age doesn't matter. Many woman falls in love with younger man without even knowing their age,but as soon they find out about their age they hide their feelings and dont want accept that their in love with a younger man because they are afraid that there'll be an obstacle.The obstacle can be the family of the younger person.Many are against it. As long you both love each other and can communicate with each other ,there wont be a problem.

If 2 people are dating and have a big difference in age, and they are HIDING it, then they obviously aren't right for each other, because they don't find it okay themselves. If people are open about it and truly are suited and care for each other, sure! But I mean, it's all about love, like with anyone, regardless of age. Unless it's an illegal issue, and an older person is dating a minor, then it really is not right at all to me.

I have been both the younger woman with a man 22 yrs my senior and I was also the older woman with a man 14 yrs my junior, When I was with the older man it was like he was a comfort zone security and maturity all rolled up in one, I think it thrilled him because a good looking woman was paying attention to him and he had been stuck in a rut with his wife he was seperated from. Either way we stayed together for 5 yrs.. Now the younger one, I was dumb, should have stayed away from that one, nothing but trouble, and I guess it made me feel younger and sexier. But never the less still a mistake. Hope this helps.
