Age difference

I was 19 when I had my first girlfriend and she was 32. I had no problem with her being older. It was my first time having sex aswell. We dated for three months then she ened it. Even tho it ended it gave me huge confidence and I soon meet other girls nearer to my own age and having a few girlfriends before meeting my amazing wife.

If your both happy go for it age should not get in the way of love.

Samantha here. As everyone has said, its just a number. I was reguarly sleeping with a 40 year old man when i was 18. Relationship ship wise, it may cause a few issues. Different stages of life etc but thats up to the 2 of you to sort out. If its just sex, then theres no problem at all. Enjoy!

My new mister is 15yrs older than me, my ex was 7yrs older, I can think of three friends off the top of my head who have husbands between 1 and 2 decades older…if it works, it works! :smiling_face:

Age is just a number if you seriously like the man I would go for it life to short, if it doesn’t work out well least you can say you tried

The main challenges with an age gap tend to be due to a discrepancy in power and/or emotional maturity - but my experience has been that the latter does not correlate with your age. I dated someone 5 years younger than me who showed maturity that I admired and looked up to; I dated someone 30 years older than me (he is 61) who often behaved like a child.

It can be hard navigating judgement from others too - that should never influence your decision but is something to be prepared for. As long as you’re both happy and openly confronting any power imbalances it is great & can be really fulfilling.

Whilst my experience with this older person was frustrating when it came to handling conflict and difficult emotions, it was very enriching to spend time with someone whose life experiences had been so different.

Can totally agree with all this. When I was 23 I was dating a 19 year old and that 4 year gap felt like an emotional chasm, but then now as I approach 30 a 10 year gap to somebody in their late 30s feels like nothing. But then there can still be mature younger people and immature older people. If you’re happy you’re happy.
