Age doesn't matter as long as there's mutual love, respect, and support. The thing with big age differences is that they can have extra challenges as the older one slows and the younger one is still full of energy and desire to explore what the older one has already experienced for themself. If they can work thru that, dam, it's a more solid relationship than most of any age range that I know. No matter, what anyone else thinks means nothing.

I don't think there is a limit to the age difference. As long as they're happy together that's all that matters. If the couple is an older man with a younger woman, I can see why they get a lot of crap. Far too many people stereotype people...

i know many who have big gaps in age in their relationships....it doesn't seem to matter to anyone around here...even myself as i am 40 and my fiance turns 30 in just a few days...when i met him he told me he was five years older than he was and could pass for it, and had for many years as his entire fam is in the 'program', so that is the age he 'became' a long time ago...but after getting to know him, following many different discussions about our past and growing up...certain things didn't add up...at first i thought it might be too weird for others to handle...for me...quite flattering actually!!! to still be attracting such young and very handsom man....good for me right??? well, finally i made him tell me the truth...i felt like a detective for so long, because i would really pay attention to certain answers after awhile...and he didn't really mean to lie to me, it was a serious matter of life and death and he never told anyone else before no matter how much they pryed...but since he wanted to marry me, i insisted....and got what i needed...the truth....other than that....i feel 10 years, 20 years...whatever works is acceptable...if the two can handle the generational differences. that's the only thing that kinda bums me out...when i was 14 going to led zeppelin concerts...i finally realized it was no use to continue to ask 'did you go see this show' considering he was only 4 at the time! we dont share a history of 'life' and life experiences....but trust me, that's not everything and doesn't make or break a relationship....just could flavor it more i guess.

Well that is clearly inappropriate. I think 7 years would be the most, why would a young girl be with an old fart. That is not cool. I am not just saying that cuz i am jelouse, but because seriously, shouldnt two people be at thier prime and enjoy life together. Not be held down by some old person. But then again what if the old man is rich, well guess what that makes it even more wrong!!!! I dont know, its like a some college graduate with some highschool girl, that is wrong and gross and agaisnt the law. So if its wrong then why would it be right later, of coarse it wouldnt. And that age diffrence would be like 10 years. We are talking 30 years diffrence with your friend. Why is your friend with him?

True story. But what about a 12 year old in love with a 46 year old? I think the older you get the more acceptable it is to have a partner older then you. I strongly believe in statutory rape laws though.

wow the gap is so much far, how long they've been together?
i think the age doesn't really matter as long as they love each other, of course there are some considerations by them before they become a couple.

Age matters. It ensures certain things you will have in common. Further, nothing in life is guarenteed, but older people tend to die sooner then younger people. (on average) so the chances of living together for a long time is reduced.
Something to consider.

I know a couple in which the people are well over 20 years apart. And they've got a great, solid relationship.

As long as both parties are over 18 and maybe at least 21, it shouldn't matter.
I accidentally gave you a thumbs down. Sorry...so count one thumbs up!
