Age

[Joha_U2]

How many years apart are you and your special someone?
And what do you think about the age factor?

My boyfriend is 9 years older than me. I'm 18 and he's 27.
I know I'm not alone in this!

 

[cell]

im 5 years younger than my bf. he's 40, and im 35

 

[Bonochick]

My boyfriend is 7 years older than I am. I'm 24, and he's 31. It's no big deal, I don't even consider it an issue.

 

[U2Girl416]

my fiance is 9 years and some change older than I. I'm 26, he's 36. in the 9+ years we've known each other, very rarely has it been any kind of issue, and if it was, it was minor.

 

[vaz02]

Im 1 year younger than my girlfriend , i think its a issue sometimes.

 

[Liesje]

My husband was two grades and is three years older than I am. It's never been and issue, and as they say, boys are two years less mature than girls anyway

 

[Laura M]

Exactly 9 years and 3/4

Age never been an issue.

 

[Lancemc]

Well, once I make my break into the music industry and marry Jenny Lewis, she'll be 12 years older than me.

 

[Notabene]

We are only a month and a half apart from each, he being the older one.


I really think that age is only a number and nothing more.

 

[AngelofHarlem01]

6 years younger than my boyfriend, never been any age issues about it.

 

[BVS]

I think the older you get the less of an issue it is...

I think somewhere between 21 and 25 life changes enough that you can relate to people older, there isn't the absence of life experience.

Of course it's different for everyone. But I've never met anyone younger than 24 that I think I could actually date...

 

[Regina Filangie]

Five years, I'm 37 and my husband is 42. I was 20 and he was 25 when we started going out and it never has been an issue. In fact, most of the time I forget there's an age difference between us at all because it has no effect on our relationship.

 

[Mr. BAW]

I'm 55 and BAW is 15 years younger than me; I'm sure other men wonder what she's doing with me but non-issue.

I love the way she blushes when she's carded for a drink!

 

[JCOSTER]

My husband is a year older than me. Our b-days are a day apart which makes him 1 year and a day older than me.

 

[Lila64]

Hubby is about 8.5 years older than I. Not an issue.

I always liked older men, even when I was, um... under 18

 

[BonosBaby12]

There is 6 years between me and my guy,Im 27 and he's 33. Age has never played a factor into our relationship. In fact most of the time I even forget that he's older than me.

I was 21 and he was 27 when we first started dating

 

[ylimeU2]

The last guy I had a serious relationship with was close to 17 years older then me. It was never an issue with us. I think if two people are compatible (and legal ) it doesn't matter in the least.

 

[U2Girl1978]

My boyfriend is a year older than me.

I've always liked older men as well. My last boyfriend was 24 years older than me.

 

[greeneyedgirl]

My husband is 1 year younger, never an issue.
He has 3 brothers that are all at least 1 year younger than their wives.

That family likes us older women

 

[Allanah]

I'm single at the moment, but I've noticed that I'm always attracted to older men. I'm 24, and rarely if ever do I find myself crushing on a man younger than 35. Early-to-mid-40s is where it's at. Emotional maturity is the biggest issue with me; I couldn't give two shits how old the guy is, provided he actually acts like a mature adult.

 

[bonoishot]

Im single at the moment but my ex is about 17 years older than me. We didn't find it a problem. If you love someone then ages shouldn't matter ( as long as like ylimeu2 said your both legal )

 

[*browneyedgirl*]

I've been married for 24 years to a man 13 and a half years older and i love him more now than ever, I met him when I was 16 and I think that's not legal, but he always said age is a mind of matter, if you don't mind it don't matter, but I always thought that stament was corney and redneck.

 

[CKONE]

I am 6 years older than my better half. I was 26 and she was 20 when we met. We married within a year and it will be our 8th wedding anniverary this July!

Age never appears to be an issue nor should it be.

Incidentally my in laws have a 20 year age. That has now unfortunately become an issue.

 

[u2granny]

I am seven years older than my husband.

 

[dazzlingamy]

I'm 24 - my boyfriend is 30 its the perfect age gap! We met when i was 18 and 24 and i thought he was the hottest thing i'd ever seen.

Age has no boundaries! My family friend met her husband when she was 30 and he was 18 and they're still together ten years later!

 

[Schmeg]

I'm 7 years younger and it has never been an issue; I've always gotten along better with people who are a few years older or younger than me.

 

[U2Kitten]

My husband is 3 months older.

 

[tiny dancer]

In single right now, but some of the guys that I have dated are about the same age as me.

 

[Joha_U2]

Yeah, i don't think age is an issue either... I've always been attracted to older guys. I used to date a 23 year old when I was 16.. which wasn't legal but he respected me.

my parents do have an issue with age right now (as I said before, he's 27 and I'm 18) and it's complicating things. You know, having to see the one you love 'in secret' is one of the worst things in the world. I don't know how to make them understand he does me good, he makes me feel safe, and has changed me in so many positive ways...

 

[mandy1973]

my husband is 1 year and 2 months older than me. I don't think age really matters, as long as the two people are in the relationship for the right reasons.

Personally, if I ever ended up single again (not that I want to) I think I'd go find myself a sexy toy boy
