Have you ever been in a spring/fall relationship? Does age matter?

I have been in both sides of the spring/fall relationship. I have been the older woman and the younger woman. I was with a man who was in his 60s when I was in my late 30s. In my early 40s I dated a man who was in his mid twenties. So I have been a "cougar" and I have had a "sugar daddy". The man I am married to now, in fact, is thirteen years older than I am. My friends are used to me being somewhat rebellious and different so I don't have a problem with them. My mother always has had something to say about it. I am very happy with myself and with my husband. I have always been comfortable with these partners. How do you feel about these kinds of relationships?

I've only been the older woman, but not by many years. I was almost 26, he was 21...It didn't work out. Maybe it was the age we were at, and not necessarily the age gap between us, but he and I weren't on the same page in our lives. I wanted to settle down, he wanted to party. I guess it's only normal, i wanted to party too when i was just 21.

My last husband was 11 years younger than me and never, not even once, did the the age difference cause any problems in our relationship.

When I was 19 I once went on a date with a guy who was 30. Only one date though. He seemed to uptight to me at the time, and I think he was uncomfortable with my being so young. That was probably the biggest age difference I ever had with a guy. We only went out that one time though. He was recently divorced and I think he wanted to go out with someone young to stoke his ego, but it actually made him uncomfortable. Being older myself I can cetainly understand that.
