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?

DH was 7 months younger than me but died of cancer aged 37. So it’ll just be me turning 40 this year 😭😭😭

research Flowers That's really sad.

DP is nearly 13 years older than me. Everyone is always amazed at this as he doesn't look his age. Or maybe I just look old.

MyBreadIsEggy · 02/02/2019 15:08

DH is 5 years older than me

headinhands · 02/02/2019 15:09

Dh is 5 years older. Don't notice a difference in maturity.

BramRang · 02/02/2019 15:14

He is 2 years (and 12 days Grin) older. We have known each other since we were 10 and 12 when I made friends with his younger brother at school. Got together at 20 and 22.

SpaceCadet4000 · 02/02/2019 15:26

3.5 years. He's older, but maturity wise we have always been on a par.

thecatneuterer · 02/02/2019 15:26

I'm 34 years older than him. I always win these threads Grin (and usually attract a bit of vitriol at the same time)

Walnutwhipster · 02/02/2019 15:29

He's 5 years older, married at 23 and 28 (24 years ago.) Both of our dads were 5 years older than our mums and both were married 50 years plus before our dads died.

Wenttoseainasieve · 02/02/2019 15:34

I am four months younger. I was in lower sixth and him in upper.

Tattletale · 02/02/2019 15:43

Byebyefriend · 02/02/2019 15:43

Endofrelationship · 02/02/2019 15:55

Exactly one week (to the hour).

SauvingnonBlanketyBlanc · 02/02/2019 16:04

3 and a half weeks!

JoshLymanIsHotterThanSam · 02/02/2019 16:06

He’s 8 years and 8 weeks older than me.

I was never particularly fond of men my own age or younger....they were always so immature-or the ones I met were anyway.

Crunchymum · 02/02/2019 16:09

5 months for us as well. Born is same year but I'm a school year older.

MsRinky · 02/02/2019 16:11

17 days. I'm the older woman.

lubeybooby · 02/02/2019 16:12

he's 7 years older

BillywigSting · 02/02/2019 16:15

Dp is 4 3/4 years older than me.

We met when I was 16 nearly 17 (he was just turned 20)and the age gap seemed to be viewed as big then but pretty normal now.

I lied and said I was 18 to be fair to him.

PurpleWithRed · 02/02/2019 16:17

6 years, I'm older

Groovee · 02/02/2019 16:18

8 years. My grandparents had a 21 year age gap
