I've just turned 40, partner is 23. I didn't think it could work but it is. Do you feel left out? I'm at uni so have loads of twenty-something friends. I find them more interesting than people my age sometimes :D

Bf is 5yrs my junior, which admittedly isn't the biggest age gap, but there are some noticeable differences in our maturity levels and how we handle situations. Although to be fair to him, I'd always put that down me being a lone parent, and him only ever having been in 1 relationship prior to myself.
