Age Gap
Have you ever been in a relationship where there was a significant age gap? Do you think age really matters when two people are in love? Would it influence your decision about having children? Do you think your friends and family would mind?
I'd like to congratulate the happy couple, they seem like a great match whatever their age. :)

I was married to a guy 22 yrs older than me for 23 yrs. I was 24 & he 46 when we met. It was my 2nd marriage. My first, I married a guy only 4 yrs older & it only lasted 10 months ....

I Think that what they have done is amazing. I'm currently in an 11 month relationship in which there is 23 years difference between us, it's hard at times but if you're in love then surely it doesn't make any difference. Love makes the world go round so who are we to judge who people fall in love with? Even though i am slightly younger than the women that posted the story i am still thoroughly in love with my boy(man)friend and i truely feel that i wish to spend the rest of my life with him. If people have a problem with that then i can't do anything about it but just think of those celebs such as Rod Stewert who are happily married with an age differnce. Look at the brighter picture before destroying the art work.

If they've found love - who are we to judge? Age gap or not, true love is rare enough as it is.
A few close family members of mine have found love with partners that are either ten or so years younger or older - and they are as happy as can be!
But...I do feel I am overly concerned when I see someone under the age of 25 with someone older than 45 - that's just edging on something that psychologists would have a field day with!
If my children ended up with partners, and they were lovely people, they would be welcomed into the family - so long as the age gap wasn't too big!

i think its kool coz all my life i have been in arelationship with aguy who is jst ayear older,trust me its hard because its from one fight to another.i think if i had an older man there would be that mutual respect due to the fact that he wld be older.
cheers to them

if their happy then they should be left in peace to live as they see fit. I,m 32 and my partner, who is the father of my 14 year old son is 50. We plan to get married next year and we are we are extremely happy as is our son.He has benefited so much from having 2 parents who come from completely different decades!.By the time i met my man he had done all his boys nights out and also was in a position to provide for us both financially and emotionally.My man is proud of his young family and has looked after us well, we compliment each other so well, i keep him young! I reackon every girl should have an older boyfriend at least once, they,ll learn so much, not just about men but also about themselves.
