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?

He's older by 18 years. It'll be shit if he goes before me, so I've just to enjoy it while I can and not think about it.

Mentally......I wonder if he's been through puberty at times.

2.5 yrs between us, I'm older.

BuffaloCauliflower · 02/02/2019 12:38

He’s 21 months younger than me. Not much.

MeOldChina · 02/02/2019 12:39

9 weeks

GoJohnnyGoGoGoGo · 02/02/2019 12:40

DH is 11 months and 3 weeks older than me

BrokenWing · 02/02/2019 12:43

9 months younger than me.

I put dh's birthday into a calculator (one of those one that come up on Facebook to tell you what was in the charts that day etc) once to find out the date he was conceived and it was allegedly the same day I was born. 😂

Dh is 9 years (nearly 10 years if you add the months) older than me.

For those months I do take the Micky out of him...Grin

Birdie6 · 02/02/2019 12:46

He is 11 years older than me . But we feel exactly the same age.

RavenLG · 02/02/2019 12:49

1 year 9 days. Doesn't feel like there is a difference and we're both as immature as each other.

MrsPworkingmummy · 02/02/2019 12:50

17 years, 364 days between my husband and I (him being older). He's my soul mate and we have a brilliant relationship. The age gap actually benefited us as we were both able to bring different perspectives to the table. 10 years later and if anything, we're getting stronger Grin

RagingWhoreBag · 02/02/2019 12:52

I’m 4.5 years than him, sometimes it feels like more!! I like to pretend that we’re the same age so now that he’s finally 40 we’ve met in the middle at 42 each Grin

XH was 6 years older than me.

RagingWhoreBag · 02/02/2019 12:56

Duh - 4.5 years older than him!

FlurkenSchnit · 02/02/2019 13:03

DH is 2 years and 1 week exactly older than me. All my relationships have had a similar age gap, I've never had a relationship with someone the same age or younger than me.
