my hubby and i are splitting up...he's 10 years older than me. i dint think age mattered, in fact, if anything i thought he'd be wiser, more mature and more sensible?...right, lets just say, i was wrong.
my previous boyfriend was 5 years younger, and wild and wanton but not as informed and sharp with money as my current hubby. but i loved him to bits and he me, but he had to return to his own home country and well, i went 2 visit twice, but then it ended when he asked me to wait to get married. i had made all the plans...i felt defeated.
maybe i should get a woman? sigh...i wonder...do you think its better to go older, or younger?

I am dating a guy who is 26 years older than me (have been together for 9 1/2 years) and there are times when things are great and others when I think I am dating a 2 year old.
Older may mean more experience but it doesn't necessarily mean more maturity.
Go with what your heart tells you, not your head, you need to make up a pro and con list and see who comes up the winner if you can't make up your mind any other way.

Age doesn't necessarily add or take away from maturity. We all mature at different ages. Don't judge the young or old for their follies. Its just a matter of what exactly you want out of a relationship and whether you can find someone that wants the same thing. You need to find common ground in order to make a relationship work and then both of you go from there. Don't give up hope. Just figure out exactly what is it you want and look for it, take time to get to know people and don't expect too much too early.

That's a tough question. My ex bf was 2 months older than me, but he was such a mama's boy and couldn't stand on his own 2 feet. My current bf is 3 years younger than me, but he's already so well rounded and worldly. He's travelled to many places in the world, has seen a lot and experienced a lot. He's been in the business world for 9 glorious years and had his own factories. Each of them have their own pros and cons, so it really doesn't matter. The most important thing is chemistry and the "feel".

What? You're all over the place... first your husband is older, then you mention a younger guy, and then you suggest maybe you should get a woman.
You and your husband splitting up probably has nothing to do with your age. And your ex boyfriend, well you left him because you didn't want to wait to get married.
I don't think age matters (within reason), what matters is how well you get along with the person and how similar you are. (Similar morals, lifestyle, etc.) I personally think you need to spend some time on yourself and work out what you really want out of life and love before you get into another relationship.

It's not a matter of age, it's a matter of compatability, if you are not right for each other and can't find common interests or compromises between you the relationship is doomed.

Older or younger it really doesnt matter, love is love. If you love them it doesnt matter how old. Love is about taking every part of a person and loving them fro being them not an age.

"what occurs once you fall in love" That subjective. Are you already in a dating, or fell in love with somebody you recognize, dont understand, is a chum. we want extra info.

age doesn't matter. it's the person. Sounds like you're attracted to immature "men".
or boys in mens bodies.
