Age difference relationships

[backinthedhss]

I'm 5 years older than dp. We've been together for nearly 15 years. I still worry about the age difference. Looking older than him, him getting tired of me etc.

Anyone else in this kind of relationship feel the same or AIBU and need to give my head a wobble?

5 years is nothing. Stop worrying x

5 years is nothing.

DP is 13 years older than me. Five years is nothing and it’s sad you worry about this. Surely you know he loves you and doesn’t give a shit, because I promise you he doesn’t.

Five years is nothing.

I am 8 years older than DH. Been together 14 years and married 10. We rarely think or talk about the age difference. I think you are worrying needlessly so in the kindest possible way - give your head a wobble

Every year that you are together, the age gap gets proportionally smaller. As a proportion of your respective ages, the age gap is smaller now than when you first met and will continue to shrink over time.

5 years is nothing unless you're teenagers.

Step mil is 25 years younger than fil. It's now an issue as she is almost 50 and he's turning 75.

I'm 7 years older than DP... not an issue
Get your ducks in a row!

I'm 8 years older than DH. Married 17 years this year, together 20. It's only a (minor) issue when he asks if I watched a certain tv show and I point out I was out getting drunk & having sex at that time.

I wouldn’t call this an age gap relationship to be honest, it’s really very little difference.

I’m 11 years older than my husband but we don’t really notice. We look similar in age though I certainly feel a lot older but that’s due to chronic pain conditions I’ve had for 20 years. I never, ever think about any age difference or if he will get tired of me (or me of him!). None of it I can do anything about, anyway!

My wife is 15 years older than me, but I'm definitely the more mature one in our relationship.
Age is a state of mind.

As others have said 5 years is nothing. I wouldn’t even think about it.

What are you so worried about, OP?
