How did it start? How do you keep it healthy? What makes the relationship satisfying? Is the person the "love of your life"? Does the age gap make it more special for you? What challenges do you face?
Is anyone here in an age-gap relationship (10 years +)?
How did it start? I saw her working a retail shop and said hi. The rest is history.
How do you keep it healthy? I just have to remember she's young and has a lot of things she wants to try i think are old news.
What makes the relationship satisfying? I love the dynamic. Really makes me take the masculine role and her the feminine because we have to not because its just what we want.
Is the person the "love of your life"? I think she's the one who will be sticking around long term.
Does the age gap make it more special for you? Yes. It feels like the same kind of "magic" that my high school first time relationship had. After all my experience i realize its her that does it, not me. Her firsts are what makes me have the butterflies in my stomach not mine.
What challenges do you face? People give us shit sometimes but we both take it as a compliment they care so much about our love life. Honestly though the age gap makes no problems or anything. Dont even realize it 99% of the time.
Hey I have been attracted to women older then me my whole life. Do you know how shitty it is being 16 and crushing on a 20 year old women. No way in hell they would give me a chance. And now that iam in my thirty something the shoe are on the other foot... I get rub up against; bumped into; followed in my car now. My girlfriend is 10 years older then me and she laughs at all the cougars. Iam really mature for my age and she's a bit immature. So it works. My girlfriend has a different life style. Like she has to plan everything. While I will just pick up the phone and call a friend that day. She tick toks I don't. But it all depends on the person really.
Her friends are dating younger men now because of our relationship. I was dating someone my age and I just got tired of the cheating and trying to complete with 5 other guys. Older women have something to actually offer emotionally and spiritually and not just sex (I know I said it). I find older women don't cheat (emotionally) as much. And if they do it's easier to spot. Her friends will hold her accountable.. I know it's a generalization but the odds are in their favor. Cougars are more happy go lucky in my opinion.
My wife is 11 years younger than me and we've been together for 16 years. We met through a mutual friend. We had strong sexual chemistry right away and it just became more serious. Really no challenges except sometimes she talks about what shows she watched when she was little and will say did you watch that too? Then I have to remind her of the age difference.
Yeah. He's 14 years younger. He pursued me. I was verrrry skeptical. He's young so he's into tiktok and that. The social media stuff is a bit annoying. Anyhoo, he posted a bunch of stuff of wanting to be better man and the best version of himself so something has transformed in him and he is really attached to me. It was all very unexpected and its still delicate since there are people that disapprove. I never ever ever thought this would happen to me.
most I had, was four years apart... and I was the older
once I was willing to give it a try with someone who happened to be 10 years older than me, I think it could have worked out really well, if it weren't for the circumstances in which we met, one of us would have to had moved out a good distance and at the time, we were not able to work it out the best
