Older partner

I had a hubby 19 years older than me and it turned out badly. There was too much of a difference. He ended up killing himself so that ended that. He was a work a holic and that cause problems with me home all the time. didn't lik emake up and thought I would want any man I met. Silly. So there are situations where the age difference does cause problems.

it depends on each individual in the relationship. if the younger one is at the same maturity level of the older one, then its less likely to cause a problem. My boyfriend is ALOT older than i am but i am very mature and wise for my age, so we are a very good match for each other. Guys my own age are too dumb and wild, and the women his age just arent right for him either. So it just depends on each individual. All that matters is that both people care and have respect for each other

yes i think. in my opinion, couples with age gap has defferences, dealing with adjustments for their relationship to work. i tried before, he was 30+ and i was 20 [i guess. =)] we have to compensate almost everything for us to get that one thing we would like to do that particular day because most of our wants/likes doesnt collide. sometimes tiring but i still prefer older men because they can keep their cool. they know how to stand what they really want. they WILL comprehend your immature side. not all but so far that ive been with, they're like that, so im convinced.;)

I dont think so. For me Age doesnt matter most and big difference on may not cause a problem for as long us you guys know how to handle.I still believe that if you love things things will just be very easy for you to solve no matter what.

A big age difference may cause problems, and it may be no problem at all. I think that where you are in your life is moreimportant than age. If you have one party-animal and one coach potatoe that are the same age, things may not work out well. A couch-potato at 20 and one at 40 may be just perfect

I think its an individual thing. Its all about what you feel for yourself, maturity and not the age stuff.

i dont thik age is a factor in relationships. it is feelings which does matter and not age. if one is comfortable with someone much old in age i think there should be no problem. a loving relationship has no other alternative.

I think it depends on the people But if you really love the other then it shoudl not matter to you and you shouldn't bother about what other people might say ... people they will THINK it at least ... but it is not their lives so let them be ... My husband is 18 years older than me ... but it has never bothered me ... I love his heart and personnality more than anything else and to me age is not an issue ... I hardly even think abou this age ... he is just my husband ... that's all You know beauty is in the eyes of the beholder ...

It definitely depends on the couple and their stage in life. The older you get the less age difference will matter. My brother married when he was 27 years old to a 20 year old and they've been divorced now for a year or so. They were at different stages in their lives. He was content to stay at home with their kids while she wanted to go out and party. On the other hand my husband and I are 3 months apart and most of the time it's a good thing. There are times though when I'm ready for something like kids before he was. If he were a few years older he might have been more ready to have kids. But we were from the same generation so we remember the same stuff, which though it might not matter to most people actually means something to us. It really is an individual decision based on the couple at that stage in their lives.

21 years age difference between my partner and myself. Any problems seem to come from other people judging us not from within the relationship.
