What's yours?

He is older, 11 years and 9 months. I am 24, he is 35. People have made negative comments about this, but I am completely oblivious to them because DP is the love of my life Smile.

MaxsMummy2012 · 23/03/2014 15:13

19 days younger (20 in a leap year). Both 31.

He's a year younger than me Smile

Backinthering · 23/03/2014 16:06

He's nine months younger than me. I still want to know what people mean by the perfect gap. Don't get what difference it makes.

GinUtero · 23/03/2014 16:12

8 months. I'm 35, he's 34.

Creamycoolerwithcream · 23/03/2014 16:17

DH is 3 years older than me. The only time I notice he is a bit older is when we talk about music and the odd T.V programme when we were very young and I don't remember it or was to young for it.

FracturedViewOfLife · 23/03/2014 17:05

He is 10 years older than me.

DramaAlpaca · 23/03/2014 17:07

He is 2.5 years older than me.

Boris13 · 23/03/2014 17:09

9 years. I'm 30, partner is 39

bouncyagain · 23/03/2014 17:11

Thank you for this lovely thread.

My ex dw was 6 years younger than me. She thought it was a big deal. It didn't bother me at all.

Extremely early days but I may have met someone who is a bit younger than that. She doesn't seem bothered by the gap. It is so heartening to see so many people who have really big gaps (but who are happy?).

Only1scoop · 23/03/2014 17:13

9 years.
Me 41....
Him almost 50

pinkflaming0 · 23/03/2014 17:17

Nice to see there are some ladies with considerably younger partners. As I get older (late 40's) I find men my own age less and less attractive. And I don't just mean physically (though tbh that can be a factor Smile) but many seem to have such negative, miserable, antisocial attitudes. It's like they hit 40-45 and become grumpy old men.

Only1scoop · 23/03/2014 17:18

Pink agree

Oh I can dream Grin

GimmeDaBoobehz · 23/03/2014 17:20

2 years.

I'm 24 (January) he's 26 in July.

Or is it 27.

I'm terrible with ages.

pinkflaming0 · 23/03/2014 17:24

12 years younger was good Only Grin

Was asked by a 'lad' 23 years younger if I was single the other day but that seemed a but TOO much - what would we have in common to talk about?

JupiterGentlefly · 23/03/2014 17:28

16 years he is older.
