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?

27 years. He is older. Been together 17 years so must be doing something right...

DH is 13 years older, I am definitely the grown up though Grin

I don't think we ever notice the difference age wise at all (25 and 38 when we met, 38 and 51 now) but obviously going into retirement will be tricky but only money wise I think. Ideally we'd both want to retire about 60 but I'll only be 47 so not sure how it'll all work out. It will one way or another though.

13 years between us. I am younger than him. My only worry slid that when I retire at 67 he will be 80. We are 44 and 57 now.
