Is there an age gap in your relationship? Does it make any difference to you? (Sorry these are very personal questions I may have overstepped the mark). Do you know relationships where the age gap is an issue?

Random Question I
Ok so this isn’t so much a question more of a discussion point. I’m 7 months older than O. I graduated University the year ahead of him and he is born in a different year to me (not sure why I highlight this but it seemed important). When we first got together we got quite a few comments about him being a toy-boy and my being the older woman. 7 months people!! Not exactly a big age difference and I firmly believe that if he were older than me it would never be mentioned. I’ve never seen a relationship where age difference is an issue except for those outside the relationship.

james is 6 years older than me. I think my parents were worried at first, but once they found he was a practical man, and serious about me they were fine. as you get older I dont think age is noticed so much unless its a massive gap. my previous boyf before james had years on me, and I thought that was a massive gap at the time.
ReplyDeleteSounds like someone was having a good time trying to wind you up! My brother's wife is a few years older than him, and I'm 8 months older than Richard, and no-one has ever commented tbh. I think that the older you get, the less age gaps matter.
ReplyDeleteMy mother is older than my father by about 2 years. Not much at all really. I only think it matters when you are very young ie. 15 year old going with a 25 year old etc. My boy is but 9 months older (and that's because we met at uni). I feel it matters not.
ReplyDeleteI say not a problem!
ReplyDeleteMy OH is a year and a half older though sometimes I swear he's much much older as he remembers so many films from the 80s!
ReplyDeleteI do think if I was older than him it would have been mentioned... in that way people always act like a woman's age is really important!
Thomas is 6 months older than me but I feel older than him sometimes lol. My Mum is only a year older than my dad and he still gets referred to as her toyboy.
