do age diffs affect relationships?

Question

mu hubby is 36 i will be 26 in couple mths!! sometimes hes more like my dad then hubby!! will this ever change?

Answer 1

I used to think so, but now I'm 28 dating a man 4 years younger than me, and it isn't affecting us at all. :) He'll be 25 in a month, and I'll be 29 in a couple months, and it's great. Maturity is what truly matters. Are you on a mostly level maturity field? Does you both listen to each other? Respect each other? Put the other first? Those are things that matter, not age. :) Unless you're under 18, then it really does matter.

Answer 2

Sometimes it can.. depending on how mature the younger person is, or how imature the older person is. Sometimes we can be attracted to an older man, because our personality is a little more mature than our own peers, and sometimes it doesnt work that way. Sometimes the older person may be going through a midlife crisis, and wants to feel young again.. which i'm not too sure how i feel about that bit.

I used to be married to a man 15 yrs. older than me. I was 19 and he was 34 back when..lol And i was always a very mature person for my age, and i already had a daughter who was 1 at the time, so i was looking for something a little stable from a man. Thinking he had been married before, and had a son, that he was looking for the same stability that i was. I figured he was more lived, and mature than the guys my own age at the time. So we dated, eventually moved in together. Not so soon, but eventually started to see the pattern of this father figure type always trying to correct me, in every aspect, like a father would..which started to be a turn off, but me giving my all, and more than 100 percent egnored it, but in the end, when his sex drive was not as vigorous as it once was, and me being so young, in my twentys by then, was always in the mood.. well it was pretty fustrating when i was lacking that part of my being, most of the time. I never cheated, as i've always been very convervative person, but the relationship fizzled out eventually, and without going into much details of other problems we had, we came to the conclusion that it wasn't going to work. We did last 10 yrs together, but after wards, i felt i was robbed of my youth. Which that's another story..

I'm not saying it's bad.. i'm just saying you have to be compatible just like anyone else. AND both parties have to be willing to put their all to the relationship.

Now i know! :)

Answer 3

My best woman in the World died after seven years of cancer. I'm now only now beginning to remember the good times and not the years of grief. My wife would want me happy but I'll never really love again.

I'm sixty. My latest girlfriend looks 15 (she is 25) and is my model. She is truly beautiful. I paint. I groove and keep up with the Night Club scene.

Quite honestly my lady friend of three years who is 51 has gone notoriously angry.

Sexually I was once really virile: Many times a night. Now, on drugs I've supposedly lost my libido. Well that's what my doctors say is inevitable but it isn't. It's all in the mind. Now I joke that sex with an older man is better because of experience, no premature ejaculation and nobodies going to believe it!

It's become work. Fun but work. Working it through with an older woman would be a good idea. Physically I've just about lost the plot.

My young friend is now my tenant and just my friend. Obviously I've come to a conclusion about age differences. This is so within my society. When a Thai or Philippine girl comes here to a much older man I believe that the difference can be harmfull.

At some point age does matter!

Answer 4

You didnt specify what sort of a relationship, but I assume you probably meant between a bf-gf / lovers / marriage...

In general, its not a problem...While I have seen many people who do marry with some age difference (5 - 10 years), specially the woman being older, it has been a success story for some of them, but I have also seen relationships, again, in cases where the woman is older than the guy. If its true love, and there is this bond between them, and nothing else matters, then its absolutely perfect....but then as the woman gets older, and tend to get insecure in terms of physical appearance, keeping up with the thought process of someone younger to her, and worries of the man finding someone younger than her, and this could happen vice versa, I mean the guy getting insecure too....later possessiveness, jealousy...creeps in and then it turns out really bad for both, But then thats just in general, of what I have seen, so on the whole, if the trust, bond and love is there, there shouldnt be a problem about the age....i think so..

Answer 5

yes you seems to lose interest and have nothing in common anymore within time i have a friend going through a divorce now cuz of the age difference the older one has already gone through life and experiences the younger one is going through now or will soon why would the older one want to go through it all over again they dont trust me seen it quite a few times

Answer 6

what's love ?For my funds, Love is a feeling that could make u sense so sweet and ought to not lose that feeling. i imagine that if u extremely love some one , u 2 will do not care about age and luxuriate on your feeling of love. i got here upon a best position"agelessfriends.COM" for youthful females and Older adult adult males, or youthful adult adult males and Older females, to have interplay with one yet another. Age hollow isn't a situation there. i imagine u can substitute your opinion there, that should be useful.

Answer 7

a little...with an older age comes a lot of knowledge and maturity and responsibility....many people dont take that resposibility...if a perosn is alot older than another than that can cause relationship problems but if you love that person than you should be able to work things out to where age is not an issue...it will be hard but it might be worth trying...

Answer 8

depending on the ages i suppose like a 15 year old and a ten year old thats a bit odd..

even a 20 yr old and a fifteen year old

although a 25 yr old and a 20 year old not so different
30 yr old and a 25 yr old not so bad either

i think it weighs more on life experience then actual age

Answer 9

hi
i don't think that age makes a difference. If you both are compatible what more do you want. I have been with very younger and older woman and we all had a good time and am still good friends with all

Answer 10

Of course. communication is very important to a successful relationship. An age gap usually translates to poor communication.
