Is anyone in a age-gap relationship?

Question

Only Younger women/Older men responses
Im dealing with an older guy around 24 yrs older & he's wonderful!!!!

Everyone Im 22 yrs old....

Answer 1

Age is but a number...
Love is blind...
Have you heard of those? Well, if he makes you happy and treats you right- they be with him. Also, it does not matter what others think about you and him and the whole relationship. The whole relationship is just you and him, not the both of you and other people. If he really makes you genuinely happy and you make him happy- Have a great time with eachother!!!

Answer 2

My husband is 8 years older.

However, at an age difference of 24 years I would really start to wonder why he is interested in you and you in him. I understand liking older men, but for long-term that may not be the best. When he's 80, you'll still be younger than 60!

Answer 3

I can't help but wonder how old you are that you classify a 24-year-old man as "older." If we're talking about an age difference of more than 6 years, they have laws ...

A lot of people would have to ask themselves what was wrong with a 24-year-old who was interested in a minor - even one as special as I'm sure you are.

In any case, tread lightly, and don't expect the relationship to last.

Answer 4

Well i'm only nineteen and have never been in a relationship were age mattered, but i hope this will help. At the end of the day i think it all falls down to what you want, and how he treats you. Sometimes age only becomes a problem when the older person feels like they have to shelter you, or when they feel threatend, then thats when the problems come in because your trust is tested.But like i said before it's all down to you what you want in your heart because people will always talk,and look wether or not your happy, or in a relationship.

Answer 5

My husband is 13 years older than me. The biggest problem is maturity level. I have always thought of men as maturing more slowly than women emotionaly. You also see a generation gap, which isn't a problem per-se, but it can cause clashes sometimes. As long as you respect that gap and learn how to work with it and eachother, there really shouldn't be any problem. Really age shouldn't matter, as relationships should focus on the emotional level instead.

Answer 6

He might be wonderful but eventually all relationships of such a gap will fall apart. You are a beautiful woman and I'm sure he makes you feel that way, but when he is going to bed at 9 and you are wanting to go out at 9, you'll see what I mean. Also, could you see yourself having a kid with this guy? That''s be awkward having a 70 year old father in high school. That means the kid will likely not even get his son graduate... Stay away...

Answer 7

Age is not that important in a relationship most of the time. It becomes less of a problem as you get older, but maturity sometimes becomes an issue. My biggest problem when I date younger women is their insecurities. Older women get jealous less often and are more secure in how they feel about themselves. But if you are happy and you get along great, don't let other peoples opinions get in the way. (you are older than 18 right?)

Answer 8

I feel young here. My boyfriend is 17 and I'm 14. I'll be 15 next month though and he just turned 17 so hm. We don't have many problems concerning age. It's not that big of an age difference, and will seem less of one as we get older, but in August when we're in between birthdays it makes me think. Especially last year when I was 13 and he was 16, it was kind of awkward. And I'm sure it will be awkward again when he turns 18.

Answer 9

I'm 6 years older than my wife. We've been together for 10 years, married for 5.

Before that I had a 3 year relationship with a woman who was 8 years older than I was. She was completely neurotic though.

Answer 10

Find someone your own age! Those relationships take a lot more work and have alot more issues. What if you want to have kids and they get teased because he looks like their grandfather. Also the older he gets, he is going to slow down and not want to go out and do the things that you want to do. He may have eventually have health issues and you may spend the rest of your life taking care of him instead of out there living your life. New Relationships are always great but after a few years it takes work to keep them going. It's easier to grow with someone around your age who is experiencing life in the same timeframe. Good luck to you and really think about finding someone your around your age.
