What is the age gap between you and your partner?

Had a conversation with a friend about how age gaps seem far more rare these days, compared to in the past. People mainly seem to be marrying people within a couple of years of their age. Purely anecdotal. Just made me curious!

Two years an one week. His birthday is literally seven days after mine. DM usually gets us joint gifts. Grin but I have been with someone who was 20 years older, and while I've got no issue with what other people do, dating older men isn't for me personally

5 1/2 years - he's older.

5 years between mil and fil.

My parents plus all our siblings would have all been in the same school year as their partners so generally less than 6 months difference.
