What's the age gap between you and your other half?

Just wondering what age gaps there are on here for curiosity! There's 9 years between me and my DH and I always wonder if that is considered to be in the 'normal' or 'big' age gap bracket. (Not that there is such a thing but for arguments sake). What are the age gaps between you and your OH?

Aprilshowersarecomingsoon · 02/02/2019 11:58

No real difference tbh!!

Stupidusername1 · 02/02/2019 11:58

1 month. Met at 6th form - been together 22 years (feeling old)

Nescafe · 02/02/2019 11:58

16 years..

He's on his mammoth 🙈

Only joking - the only downside is he will (more than likely) die before me and I'll spend the last days of my life devastated

He is the most phenomenal man to have ever lived

ChardonnaysPrettySister · 02/02/2019 12:00

I’m older by 6 years.

PurplePepperEater · 02/02/2019 12:00

FrenchyQ · 02/02/2019 12:08

3 years (i'm older).
Theres 10 years between my mum and dad (mum older), when I was growing up it felt unusual and people commented on it but these days no one really cares (obviously worked for them as they've been married 40 years)

itssquidstella · 02/02/2019 12:08

I'm five years older (but we look the same age 😆)
