I am really curious what the biggest age difference there has ever been in any relationship you have ever been in. I have been with men older.....11 and a half years.........and younger.........17 years and 22 years. I have a friend whose husband is over 30 years older than she is........most of his children are older than she is!! What about you??

My second husband was 7 years younger than I was, other than that I usually end up with someone about the same age. I see these old men with young women, some I know have a real relationship, and love each other, but I think a lot of the time it is for the money. What does a man 65 have in common with a girl 25 seems he would be looking for a thorphy to show off on his arm. She will be more like a daughter than a wife. and his kids would probably be older than her, dont' think too many work in that kind of relationship.

I think it depends on how they see each other. The ones that I know are into each other and not how old they are. The younger woman is actually more mature acting and more level headed than the older man, believe it or not!! It actually has to do with the individual people involved it each case...........and movie stars are a definite exception!! lol Thanks for the response!!

I am twenty-six and my husband is sixty two, but you know all about that since you are invited to party with us in August. Am I the friend you are referring to who has a husband over 30 years older than she is, and most of whose kids are older than she is? tehehe You forgot three ex-wives who could all be mistaken for my mother, one of whom has the same FIRST AME as my mother! tehehe The scary part is the third one looks like a younger version of my GRANDMOTHER!! Even her son could barely tell the diference beween the two of them whe I put their pitures side by side. Tehehehehe Great disussion, B.

Not sure how I managed to miss this response, but the point is I found it now. LOL Hey, you can talk about me behind my back, all you want. I only trust you, and two others (and you know who those ladies are) when it comes to friendly honest gossip. tehehe As for good discussions, this one looks like it's turned into a pretty good one. You just keep posting on here. :)

Gee, thanks!! :) You figured that out, huh?? I was thinking about my own situations but thought yours was even better!! See how I talk about you behind your back?? teehee At least I didn't try to tell all the story like you did here! Thanks for responding, but I just can't seem to get a good discussion going. Maybe one of these times I'll hit on something!!

The biggest age difference is with the relationship I'm currently in. My husband and I are 8 and a half years apart, with me being the younger one. Happy mylotting!

Hello idowrite. There are six years gap between my wife and me while there are ten years gap between my mother and father. My father is ten years older, in his eighties now, while my mother in her seventies. I used to have two couples of colleagues whose age difference is as big as more than twenty and thirty. I don't think that ages difference matter if love is available between each other. Yes? Thank you for the discussion, friend.

Dear idowrite71, I have very simple love life...dating with a guy 2 years younger than me....there is no much 'age gap' in thinking and interest! Another Mr. Nice Guy older than me about 7 years old...he is more creative and 'up-to-date' thinking! Married to my husband which is 18 years my senior, he is my 2nd brother close friend...I am the youngest in my family..therefore there was a big gap! Originally when we dating and just married, there are no much 'age gap' in thinking, thoughts or lifestyle.. BUT as he grow older...a bit grumpy and his lifestyle are so much different for example...the seafood that I enjoyed, he won't order because he need to watch his cholesterol level, he tends to be more thrifty as he sees income is depleting as he approaching retiring age...more forgetful...I need to reminds him more often... Overall, it is still great time together with my family! Thanks and do keep in touch!

Irene, thanks so much for your reply that is so interesting. I can understand part of it after watching my sister go through some of these things with her husband of many years who was 16 years her senior. They even came from different worlds and somehow managed to survive many years together. Thanks again for your comments.
