can my rekationship with an older man work? hes 50 and im 27-if we love eachother is age a barrier?

Answer 1

Sometimes yeah age can be a barrier i mean what if you want kids and he doesnt because of his age or doing something together and he doesnt again because of his age. You might want to think about this before you get to deep.

Answer 2

I wouldn't say that it's a good idea. He is a generation older than you and in my opinion, I don't think that it will last for that long. He's old enough to be one of your parents. Age is a barrier if the age gap gets too much. For adults, I would say that 10 years difference is a maximum. Of course it's a barrier. Do you think that a man of 90 and a 19 year old girl would be right? Or a 30 year old man with a 78 year old woman? The ages are innappropriately different. He might be a nice man and that, but I wouldn't have a relationship with someone that much older than you because it's not natural to do that sort of thing. It's entirely your choice but I do think differently though.

Answer 3

Age can definitely be a barrier. Even though it might be ok right now, the future will be difficult. When he is 83, you will only be the age that he is right now. You may still want to do things such as travel, hang out with friends, and etc.... At age 83, he will probably want to be in bed by eight o'clock and this is only if he makes it to age 83. You have to ask yourself if you would be willing to spend your 50's taking care of someone in their 80's or if you could handle the possibility of being a widow in your 40's or 50's. If you don't mind these scenarios, go for it! However, I would give it some hard thought, before falling in love with him. Once you go there, it will be difficult to go back. My general rule is never to date someone that I can't see myself married to. Most professionals say that there should be no more than 7 years of age difference, if you want to have the best chance for success. Good luck with your decision!

Answer 4

First of all, if you need to ask a bunch of people that you dont know and who could care less about you, if this is a good thing, then it isnt love. Second of all. a 50 yr old and a 20something person dont have ANYTHING in common, likes and dislikes and will probably be more of a hinder then help, and thats just on a daily basis. Thats not even talking about children being involved. You may want to go out to the clubs and believe me, hes not going to want too. He maybe content in staying home, and your going to tell me that you want to stay home all the time? I think not. All I have to say is best of luck to you both, think you'll both need it!

Answer 5

Lord girl! He's old enough to be your father! They say age don't matter nowadays, but it would be kinda weird if you want
kids and he doesn't. My advice to you is just be friends with
him and find you another guy your own age. Because, when
you get to the age of 40, you will be pushing him around in a wheel chair. And he will be 64 years old then. When he gets to that age, he will be breakin down, where as you at age 40,
you will still be strong. And if you don't want to take my or anyone elses advice, just be prepaird to take care of him physically in the future. To make a long story short, NO, I don't
agree with your age and a relationship with him. Call, him daddy!

Answer 6

Depends on what you want. I'm sort of struggling with the same thing, but my problem is, I want to have kids... and I'm not sure that that kind of age difference would be good for the kids -- they'll get older and have to go to college and he'll be retiring and not wanting to have that kind of expense, then he'll probably not live as long as they'd like...

So if you don't want kids, it's got a better chance. But then you have to, realisticially, be ok with the fact that you will probably be a younger widow. If you're ok with that then go for it!

Answer 7

he's sufficiently previous to be your grandfather.... there isn't something incorrect in seeing somebody who's 40 two years older which you. yet you will make existence very tricky for your self. My suggestion is to get out greater and spend not greater time with this guy or woman. pass out and luxuriate in existence. commencing a relatives with somebody that previous is an quite undesirable theory. in basic terms think of approximately your little ones. not basically will he be die till now they attain 10 years previous. yet all the flaws dads do with their little ones like play ball, or happening motorcycles etc. he won't have the flexibility to do those issues. additionally wellness issues. As you grow previous you may desire to have greater care. asserting that he ought to stay to one hundred. not possibility. The avg age for a guy to stay is seventy six years previous. maximum adult males die of their 70's. How is he going to help you? till he's a million earn. you're saying you like some reassurance. Sorry yet i'm unable to offer you any. Please think of returned. and please end this courting.

Answer 8

When I was 36 I married a 19 yr. old. We both had the best intentions. Problem became the generational difference. It was difficult for her to relate to where I "came from." I could never say, for instance, "Remember when...?" Seventies, eighties values were stange to her. At the same time, it was hard for me to relate to what was important in her generation. It became a problem in communication. We divorced after 6 yrs. and three kids.

Answer 9

if you're asking then you probally don't love him. Love is not somethign you worry about. Love is when you have an urge to throw yourself into his arms. Love is not worried about age. Love doesn't go onto the internet na dask millions of people if it'll last. I'm sorry hun but the age isn't the problem it's do you really love him, that is the problem.

Answer 10

If you are happy than yes your relationship can work, just remember that he is starting to get to that age where he may want to just relax and stay at home more often and you are still young and you will want to still go strong. And it is definitley a generation gap, just make sure that is what you really want.
