Age gap

[IronNeonClasp]

I'm seeing a man who's 32. I'm an OK-ish 45 woman. Anyone out there made something like this work. Love to hear your positive and negative stories

Be careful would be my advice. Where do you both stand in terms of major life decisions like children? I dated a younger guy and it was bliss but we had to end because he wanted marriage and kids which l couldn't give him. Broke my heart but it was the situation, nobody's fault. X

I’m engaged to a 30 year old and I’m 44. We are getting married next summer , both have young children with x partners and are very happy

I'm 45 and my OH of 5 years is 29

Tiny bump

I think you’ll be fine until menopause. My dear friend was in a similar relationship & all was going well until her sex drive nose dived. He was soon gone & is now married to someone of a similar age and she’s alone and very bitter.

Just be careful, who’s to say it can’t work for you guys?

Why bump if you’re just gonna ignore the replies you’ve had?

I wasn't ignoring replies just asking for any more experiences.

I have all sorts of guilty feelings which I probably shouldn't have and wondered how many people out there do have this sort of gap; fine when it's a man and a woman but I'm not sure how it works on the other foot so to speak.

Does he already have children?

My bf is 8 years younger, we've been together 18 months and he makes me very happy

I was 41 and dh 31 when we met. Now 48+38, married with a dc. Very happy and well suited!!

Thanks I really do appreciate the replies 🤗

No he's no kids - I have an 8 and 9 YO and v amicable with ex.

He's absolutely lovely; been v hurt and used in the past from what I can ascertain. We were friends for 6m and suddenly both got it on and it's been bliss ever since but I'm just v wary and realistic which tends to kill most relationships.

Age is just a number, if you’re well suited and happy then that’s all that matters. I’m 33 and my partner is 47 x

Hi I just saw this post .
I’m 46 and my partner is 33 and we have a daughter who is 9 years old .
We get on great but I have to say he hasn’t aged very well and I look younger than him now but that’s ok .
😊😊😊😊😊👍👍👍👍

I'd be clarifying his attitude to children. At 32 he might think he doesn't want any, but time could change that scenario. And at 45 with two of your own I'm guessing you'd be past that part of your life.

I'm 42 and my partner of nearly 3 years is 34. We have very similar outlooks on things and get along brilliantly. I'd say he was quite old for his age, which maybe helps. He doesn't have children and I was clear from the start that I wouldn't be having any more, which he has always been happy with, as he's not worried about having them. If I was you, that's the bit I would want to clarify.

Thank you so much and I'm amazed how many of you have positive stories.
Birdie I totally agree and we have had many conversations but I'm never going to know if that's going to happen - we all change, I guess I need to be relaxed if that happens and I lose him that way. Majority of the time I feel like an old hag and can't understand why he's in to me.
It's very early stages and I'm unprepared as I never saw it coming. I think he's the first guy since my marriage ended that my kids actually like. I over analyse that something has to go wrong as I don't really deserve 'happiness' which is pretty sad.
