just curious because i'm comfortable with my man, but like a cat, i'm curious, lol...
my daughter's father was 19 years older than me...
now...
my boyfriend is 20 years younger than me...
does it seem different when a man is older than the lady
or
the lady is older than the man ???
does that make sense the way i am asking this, lol
so my ex was 19 years older and now my b/f is 20 years younger than me... and i just curious on how people view the difference of women being the older of the couple i suppose as opposed to the man being the older... yes that's it... oh, and by the way... I LOVE HIM WITH ALL MY HEART, SMILES

Rock on girl! Rock on! As long as you guys are happy don't bother worrying about the dimwitted idiots out there that have a problem with your age difference - f'em - it's their problem. I hope you guys have a happy loving life together!

Age difference is a problem when the girl is 20 and the guy is 35 because the girl hasn't experienced life, most likely doesn't own her own home and may just be starting to work for a living. Age difference matters less as you get older. A 40 yr old woman and a 55 yr. old man have more in common and more "life experience" to fall back on.
I think it's interesting that you left out your age.
PS - YOU'RE 44 AND HE'S 24 - it's not going to work, babe. He wants your money - after that, you are so not worth his time!!

Hello noname. I think your last sentence says everything you need to know! You love him with all of your heart so what anyone on here may say or think shouldn't matter in the least! If two people are in love, they are happy and both of them make an effort to keep things positive and fun then it doesn't matter how old either of them are! I am 14 years older than my wife and we have been married for 11 years. We are happier now than we were on our wedding day! Some people view an age difference very harshly. As I said, look at your last sentence and that is all you have to concern yourself with.
Best of luck in your relationship

wow, so i'm assuming you were about 25 when the guy was 45, and now you're about 45 and your new love is ABOUT 25, but i'm just assuming. personally, i would not be comfortable with this situation and relationship. my father is 51 and is having an affair with a 17 yr old in mexico(and this is accepted in that country) so this is the precise reason for it. it seems you and your significant other are very hapy and pleased with the relationship but since you asked on my views, due to circumstances at my household, these will always be my views. but i'm happy for you. as long as the kid isn't yunger than 20, i wouldent see any problem with that, but any younger would be wrong

Watch yourself with this relationship. Most younger men get attached to older women because of sex. The older woman is more experienced and willing to do things that females the guys age are turning their noses up to. Lust can be just as powerful as love.

There are no longer any absolutes right here, yet some typical regulations for solid psychological wellbeing and robust relationships: -the greater youthful you're, the greater the age difference concerns. on an identical time as in extreme college, date somebody in extreme college. on an identical time as in college, date somebody college-elderly. on your early 20s, enable a 5-365 days age selection in the two direction (5 years older OR youthful than you). on your late 20s and early 30s, you could widen to a 10-365 days age selection. previous ten years, couples have a tendency to have much less in uncomplicated; better than 20 years makes for severe problems and could be prevented. -the biggest age difference i in my opinion ever experienced became into 8 years (my early/mid 20s to his early 30s). We have been at distinctive ranges in our lives and it did no longer final long. -i think of a 19-365 days-previous is at an exceedingly distinctive degree of their life from a 30-365 days-previous, and the little they'd share in uncomplicated isn't adequate to maintain a mature and satisfying courting.

i think 1-5 years is OK but 20 year younger or 19 years older is a lot but if you really love him with all your heart than i suppose it OK

Well I really do not think age matters. If both of you are over 21 then do as your heart desires. It is too hard to find someone who we can call our own. So why let age stop you from being with someone when it is so hard to meet a good man? Follow your heart.

if you love him with all your heart then i dont see the problem an age gap doesnt make much difference the older you get women are supposed to reach sexual peek at about 30-40 while for men its about 20ish what were the differences between the relationships?(not talking about sex side of things as its none of my business)

If maturity is not an issue, it should not matter the age difference. I think sometimes guys are more in-mature than women. If you have a great love with this guy it shouldn't matter the age. Good Luck to you.
