WOW, so much to say, and not enough space!
I am 13 years younger than my hubby. We are prefect! We had 3 children together and custody of his 2 children. I have a wonderful grandson! I am 32, he is 45. The last 12 years (yep, I was 19!), have been the best! I wouldn't change a thing. We have no regret or guilt, in fact, we are going to renew our vows at the end of this year.
I have an excellent relationship with my step daughter and my children are awsome! I couldn't ask for anything more. I am glad we met.
Each to his own. He would have been 13 when I was born. He is 10 years younger than my dad. I don't see a problem. If you are truely in love with your 'other', then good for you and what should it matter to anyone else?
Um, 3 year rule? What the hell are you talking about? Is this a rule that your parents set on you? Call me a hipocrate ... but i did put down age 'rules' for my kids, only because of the law. They were/are also told that when they are 18, they may choose anyone, until then, be careful and try to stay around your own age. My step daughter is turning 18 soon, and she likes older men. Who am I to stop her? Who are you to judge? Love has 'rules' of it's own, wether society wants to accept them or not. It jst the way life works.
Good luck to all you love birds!

scamp745 Jones.soda.queen This makes me feel better about my brother and his wife.
She's 47 and he's 23.
I suppose to you i'm being immature when I say this, but why would you marry someone you know you can't spend the rest of your life with?
Do you ever wonder if your significant other might have an affair?
She still has alot of her life left infront of her.
Do you think someday she might regret getting married to someone much older than her own age?
Just a question I agree with her. Your significant other will face alot more temptations to have an affair most likely because they have so much more life in them. You don't want to break her heart by being too old so you die when shes still so young do you??? Actually, death can never be decided, people die when people die, my nephew died two months ago and was only 10 months old. Age doesn't determine when you'll die.

Technically, it's only illegal if you guys have sex.
In any case, I think there are sometimes problems when people date or have sex with people that are much younger than them. Of course, it's easy to say that two people are just in love and are expressing it, but I'm sure that none of us are naive enough to claim that this is always the case.
I imagine that quite a number of older men and women who date people far younger than them do it because they feel they need something to convince themselves that they are still attractive or young enough to date or have a relationship. In more extreme cases, I can imagine that sexual attraction to minors (not always kids, teens count too) may arise from something similar or from taboo conditions which society has labeled "mental diseases," ie *****, etc.
What do we call acceptable? Where do we draw the line? It's rather easy for someone in their 20s or 30s with a great deal more emotional and social experience to take advantage of people far younger than them. How do we determine which ones are truly in love and which ones only have their own desires in mind?

I don't see a problem with large age gaps, apart from when one person is underage...then it makes it a bit suspicious..
a problem with relationships between people that have a large age gap is that they won't get to spend all of their lives together...

Just be happy that you found the love of your life. It doesn't matter what age, as long as youre happy and in love, then it works!
This reminds me of Memoirs of a Geisha. She fell in love with a much older man when she was just a child, and he fell in love with her. It was quite sweet actually.

My mother is 42 and my step-dad is 32. I'd have to say their marriage worked out very well. He is about 15 years older than me.
I normal date guys who are younger than me, but usually on by a year. If I dated 2 years younger I usually would end up dating my brother's close friends. He and I have some of the same friend circles.
As long as the person is legal.. we are good.

My fiance' and I are only a year apart, but I have no real problem with age differences.
My only qualm, whether there is an issue of an age gap or not, is whether if the couple can discern the difference between lust and true love. True love is awfully hard to find nowadays, and I consider myself to be very lucky to find it by the age of 21.
The stereotype is that the older men like to go for the younger girls because they are more attactive and less opposing than women of their own age, and younger girls look for more "experuenced" men. Though the age difference between fifty-five and nineteen may certainly suggest that, it may not hold true. That is completely up to you two and your feelings for each other.
Though I may not opt for the same choice you two have made, I won't condemn you for it. Do as you please, especially since everything is perfectly legal in the United States (assuming you two live in the states).

I'll just be up-front with it: I was apalled when I read this.
I'm dating a girl that just turned 17, and I'll be 19 in September.
I understand dating a younger girl, but there's so many years of maturity missed. She doesn't remember life without a VCR ... and you can remember when computers took up entire rooms. That's a huge difference.
When we're spanning several decades, I really don't see how anyone could approve. I'm sure love is there, but perhaps it's more of a platonic or fatherly love than that of a husband/wife? Do her parents really approve? Because ... in reality ... you very well could have fathered her!
I give this relationship a giant thumbs-down, but don't let little ol' me ruin your relationship. Have fun not seeing your grandchildren grow up.

I dont think age has anything to do with it. Nor race, religion or sex. If you love someone you love them. There is nothing you can do about it. My boyfriend is 4 yrs older then me and everythings great! heart

My fiance is 10 years younger than me and I don't think there is anything wrong with that. Age is nothing but a number.
