Age gap relationships good stories ..

[spartanrunnergirl]

Telł me your positive experiences please younger man older woman ... having a great time with a guy 12 years younger, nagging thoughts about appropriateness of the gap, he is totally cool with it.

DH is the older one. But truly young at heart as we always say!

9 years here, I'm older. Perfectly content, it's not serious but age has never been an issue.

And this has got what to do with being younger? You just got lucky he hasn't cheated on you (yet)....

Nope. He doesn't want kids and neither do I. (Not that I could even if I wanted to at my age. lol)

Besides, wayyyy too early to be thinking about such things. :)

Wow! Aren't you a ray of sunshine. lollll

12 years difference here DP is 50 (almost 51) and im 39. Weve been together 15 years and have 3 young children together.

I’m not sure it’s quite the same but Dh and I have a 7 year age gap. When we met, I was 28 and he was 21 (still in his 3rd year of uni 😂).

Previously, I’d only ever dated guys who were 3-10 years older than me. He was by far the most together and mature person I ever dated! We got married when he was 24 and are now late 30s/early 40s and very happily married with dc. He’s still way more mature than me!

It can work if you’re both in the same place in life.

My husband is 13 years older. He is 55, I am 42. I've never felt he was older more than 5 years than me. (Our son is 15.)

We've been married for 17 years. He is my (nearly:) ) perfect match.

From time to time we could have some heated discussions/disagreements but always with respect trying to find the compromise that suits us both.

Musttryharder2021... to be nice to others in2022??? lol

When you're with someone and you both totally love one another , you don't "get lucky" , you just know it's all right.

18 year difference here, he's 72 and I'm 54. Married 32 years, I've always been the more mature one! I was warned when I married him at 22 that when he was older, I'd be caring for him. He's currently waiting on me after the 1st of 2 hip replacements for arthritis. Life doesn't always turn out how you think.

That's just a trope. You have no way of predicting with any certainly or guarantee that any relationship will work out - you can only say that retrospectively. Otherwise no relationship that started out well would end in that case, as most of these people claimed "claimed they just knew"and "had that but feeling"nonsense only to revert back those same words years later when the relationship failed

I'm 15 years older than DP, and like a couple of PPs have said, when it comes to maturity you'd never know there was an age gap - I'm the childish one 😁😁

I won't lie, I'm often very conscious of ageing/my looks (I'm nearly 39) in a way I wasn't when I was married to a man 7y older than me, but that's very much my issue - DP thinks I'm utterly gorgeous.

He's also always longed for a family of his own, I already have two DC who he's fantastic with (and got to know well when we were still just friends). Naturally I had a bit of anxiety around my body clock, but our LO is due in October 🥰🥰

We're just right for each other. We were brilliant friends, and things evolved naturally. I've never found someone as easy to love as he is.

19 year gap here, I'm 51, he's 32.
2 year relationship.
We really love each other and are in it for the long haul.

There's 10 years between us - he's older. Been together 9 years, two beautiful children, just bought our dream house and we're very happy.

12 years really isn't all that much!

I agree with @Musttryharder2021 so many relationships fail, regardless of age gaps, it'll be interesting to see 10 years later how many who posted on this thread are still together. You may be in it "for the long haul" but there is no guarantee you will be.

Age is but a number I'd be more concerned about your compatibility in relation to others areas of your relationship. If you click then don't worry about age.
It has no bearing on our relationship, 9 year gap except when we reminisce about the tunes of our childhood and teens years and that always fun....
Enjoy the happiness, many in similar aged couplings don't have that.

We have a 13 year gap - he is older. I always think of my my grandparents who had a 10 year gap which really showed the cracks as they entered their 70s. Grandma wanted to go out, granddad was slowly settling in to a life in front of the TV.

I suppose regardless of their stages in life, they always grew together even if it meant accepting creating their own hobbies.

18 years here - I'm older, almost 54 to his 36. Been together coming up to 11 years. When we were first together I was really conscious of what people thought but barely ever remember there is a difference these days.

We have our ups and downs, as all relationships do, but none of them specifically relate to the age difference. His parents are accepting now but I think found it difficult to begin with. I have two sons so could appreciate how they felt.

Broadly speaking I think it only needs to be an issue if you make it one.

I am 49, DH 37. Been together 7 years. We are both well matched.

I'd worry the younger party would want their own children one day, a lot of people say they don't want children and then change their minds. Also for women being the older party, menopause will most likely result in a loss of libido.

@zonky totally agree.
Menopause in particular can be brutal and totally kill the sex drive in women. There's also vaginal atrophy which is requires ongoing maintenance.

Personally, I wouldn't want to be the older person in the relationship, knowing just how awful the menopause can be.

But, not all women suffer, so that's a plus.
