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 is 7 and a half years older than me. He looks younger though so people are often surprised its such a gap. Not that it really comes up in conversation.

Felt a bigger age gap when we first got together - i was 27 and he was about to turn 35 - but it only really comes up now when we talk about paying the mortgage off and when looking at our pensions.

DH is 16 years older. Feeling it tbh! He's definitely in. A grumpy old man phase and I am early 30s I struggle to feel that life isn't passing me by..
