How likely do you think it is for a relationship between a 40-50 yr old woman and a 25-35 yr old man to work out well when there's a 15 yr age gap?

I wouldn't recommend it for a permanent situation or marriage. There are a lot of differences and incompatibilities and impracticalities that crop up. (Energy level, death, and generational thinking, to name just three.) But for dating, a committed relationship for a while - it can be good. The older one tends to teach the younger a few tips and things about life, and the younger one keeps the older thinking young, up with cultural shifts, and not getting too stodgy in their ways.

Heard of a couple with a 20 year age gap the the female was older so I guess it's possible it's all about communication and not caring what other people say they a&e married with a no now and another one on the way.

I've seen it work when they really love each other. She was 90 when she died and he was 74 and totally heartbroken. He nursed her without a single complaint her final years and she died in his arms. He said it was beautiful.

They were friends of my parents.

I know it's unusual, but so what? If he's going to stand by her as they grow old together then great.

Not likely. he's just wanting to bust a nut. Plus, young guys are immature. As soon as a younger girl comes along he will jump ship. Most men want to be seen as the protector in a relationship. Not as a little boy.

Most likely no, it's a big age gap, and he would likely want children at some point.

In my experience, women tend to be more sensitive about the age stuff than men. It shouldn’t be an issue, unless you decide it has to be.

Honestly not that hight. I mean what y'all have in common?

He might just be into you for sex

[teamvic]

I mean unless he's 30 and you're 40 ish

[teamvic]

But even then

It can but outside pressure will likely cause issues.

You should never go younger. Men in their 20s don't have a clue.

Anything can happen when you are in love. Good luck.

Maturity differences is a big factor. It can still work as long as both are happy.

That is my dream but women don't like younger men

[Guardian45]

Probably the same as the reverse

[Anonymous]

Not very likely. But still NOT impossible.

[panamared1]
