It doesn't matter if two people who are together who are born at the same time on the same day of the same month of the same here or years apart. They both will last anywhere from either a short time to a long time. This is in reference to them going their separate ways if they break up or get a divorce not if one of them dies.
My girlfriend is 12 years 8 months 4 days older than me and we have been together for 8 years 8 years 9 months 1 week 5 days.

Where your parents okay with it?

[MysteriousDarkness]

They were fine as long as I was treated right and happy. A my exes wete younger than me not that I intentionally qwnt for younger women. It wasn't like I went with them because they were younger even if close in age.

Most of the people I have known that have had successful relationships that lasted more than 10 + years have an age gap of at least 7 to 14 years difference. All of the people I have known IRL that have had a gap of 5 years or less (sometimes only a few months difference in age), their relationships never lasted more than 5 years. They usually only lasted less than 1 year to 3 years when the age difference was less than 5 years.

My last partner was 9 years older than me. Age wasn't an issue except when it came to music because he always needed to one up my song choice.

That’s funny

my boyfriend is 7 years older than me but tbh i don't feel that much of a difference between us

[Asker]

You don’t feel out of place around his friends?

[EllaNella]

nope & he doesn't feel out of place around mine
his friends are a little younger than him anyways because he met most of them when he decided to go to uni after feeling very unhappy with his job

[Asker]

That makes sense

I am 67 and my girlfriend is 58. Is that an age gap?

[Avicenna]

I don't think many people would think it is...

[OlderAndWiser]

@Avicenna She is Chinese and that creates some significant differences, but I have never felt that the age added anything to our differences.

[Avicenna]

I wouldn't think so. Chinese women are known to date or marry guys much older than them (I'm talking 20 years older or more), especially if they're older than 30. I once worked with a 74 year old guy who had a 50 year old Chinese wife (second marriage for both).

They’ve been together since she was 18. She’s now 23 and they seem happy together.

[Asker]

Goood for them

[Guy13]

7 years as men get better looking with age. I know a guy who is 45 and his wife is 36. They look really good together. And she’ll probably “keep well” at 50. She’s hot for sure….

They work, in most cases.
Ex; My parents have an 8 year gap.
50 ( father) and 42 ( mother)
It mainly depends on you as a person.

[Asker]

Happpy for the both of them

[idkey]

Thank you.

[Avicenna]

I've seen some work. When they don't, it may anyhow be due to other reasons than the age difference.

Im 16 years older than my girlfriend. Hardly even notice the gap like that. Way better than smaller gaps I've had prior.
