what is the biggest acceptable age gap between people in a relationship that isn't crossing the line. does it make a difference if let's say 15 years separtes a 80 and 65 year old vs. a 40 and 25 year old?

My parents are 17 years apart...there was always an issue; until they got older. Then it was no big deal. People feel they have a right to comment....it is really unfair.

Wow, this does depend on the people. Also, the age areas do play an important part as well. For example; a 52 year old and a 20 year old may have 32 years apart and that is a lot! The age areas are also too different but can depend on the people. Maybe in ten years the same two people could be more suited only because the 20 year old would be 30 and more mature.
Yeah, a 25 year old with a 40 year old should be okay. And.....
a 80 year old and a 65 year old is fine too! Go get em!

It depends on level of maturity and how much you love the person. My husband and I are six years apart in age. However, I think that if a person is say 60 and the woman is 20 it wouldn't quite work or vise versa. Genrally a man or woman shouldn't have to take care of their wife or husband as a child (Though in my opinion many men act 2 :) ) . But even 20 thirty year old differences are okay so long as both of you are at the same age level emotionally.

I am 45 and the man I love is 50.....we get along great and it works. Every now and then , he will mention something I have never heard of and I will bring up something he can't relate to....but other than that.....music preferences are the same most of the time....food preferences the same.....clothes preferences don't matter.....he has a 28 year old and I have a 20 yr. old....the only big difference that doesn't really matter. ........From experience in life.....I think anything over 8 yrs. would cause a little problem and 20 yrs. a big problem. My sister in law married a man 20 yrs. older, and they look like father/daughter.....I can't imagine what she sees in his naked body....ugh....he is smart and rich though....his son is only 9 yrs. younger than her....ahhhhh....but on the bright side, they have been married 27 yrs....she is 50 and he is 70. My daughter is dating someone 14 yrs. older...they get along but he likes country and she likes rap. He believes in the "little woman" thing and she is a feminist...so I don't know how that is going to work out....she is 20 and he is 34. Think about siblings and what they have in common at different ages....the further apart the less you have in common. My friend is 20 yrs. younger than his 65 yr. old brother.....they have just recently had things in common to talk about and they can share stories about their parents at different time periods....my friend was a baby when his older brother moved out and got married...so they remember different info about life. So they share it. Maybe couples can do that too.

relies upon on the age and the human beings in touch… As a 16 year old youngster I have a tendency to prevent all of us below 15 and over 18, yet i imagine the hollow receives gradually wider as you grow old. If I were to set a optimal cutoff reduce…I’d say something more advantageous than 7 years is probable too a lot of an age distinction. in spite of the actual incontrovertible truth that some females the picture of older adult males and vice versa, nevertheless something more advantageous than 7 years and also you’ll likely get some extraordinary looks.

40 and 25 ? No problem. Age is only a number unless you or your partner is obsessed by the difference. Then it becomes an issue that colors the entire relationship.

My last husband was 11 years younger than I was and Ive always dated younger guys but not quite that young. We were together 8 years and it was good at the beginning and then we both started to grow up. I really had nothing in common with him when it was all said and done. I knew we were in trouble when he didnt know how to work a stereo turntable. But I will always love him for giving me a youthful heart!!

Like i always say, age is just a number. If someone is in love, they shouldnt let something as little as age get in the middle.

Age is a limit that we put on our mind! nothing else.If you love and you will be loved! so what's the problem?In Love and relationship everything is acceptable except lie! Most basic foundation is built on trust,faith and likeliness.
