Can a 23-year age gap relationship really work for us?

We have a 23 years age gap and I am falling for him.

My aim on GAG is to help you untangle love, red flags, and all the messy feelings in between 💘

A 23-year age gap *can* work, but only if you’re both emotionally mature, honest, and want the same future. Watch for power imbalances, lovebombing, or him steering everything. If he respects your boundaries, supports your growth, and isn’t controlling, then enjoy falling in love… just keep your eyes wide open, not just your heart.

Of course it can! Just don't make presumptions and assumptions. Then neither of you will be dissapointed. Keep talking!

My paternal grandmother gave me this advice:

"If you have a row, you must make it up before you go to sleep. If not, it wiol be twice as bad next morning. Time can be a great healer, but it can also make a festering argument a whole lot worse".

Go for it and good luck!

I know a couple with the same ages as yourselves when they met, and they've been together a long time, and still seem very happy with each other.

I'm not sure about their sex lives, probably they don't have one, but that isn't everything.

But he obviously has looked after himself, and still looks ok though he must be getting on a bit.

So I would say if you like the guy give it a go, your relationship might work for you too.

There are just you and your persons' rules in a two person relationship. Don't reduce someone to a number. Many younger people can be light years ahead of older people. It's a case by case basis.

Is that one you said slept with your sister last month?

[Ba0licious]

No different

That is a question only the two of you can answer. The only thing I can tell you is that it can work for some people.

if you are 25 and he is 48 and he does not have children and single and his sex drive is enough for you next 15 years i think it is ok.. hee and he should be rich also

[Soapsoaplady]

She didn't mention the ages. How weird of you.

[Mrtcn01]

@Soapsoaplady ahaha instead of judging my opinion you should say what you think..

[Soapsoaplady]

You seem to be projecting your silly 25 rule onto other men and young women which is ignorant.

It doesn't matter what the ages are as long as she's 18.

[Mrtcn01]

@Soapsoaplady You know, I feel sorry for you and people like you. You're intellectually impoverished, believing that looking at things only through one window and living in the moment brings happiness and peace, and that being able to make that decision is freedom... Okay, I won't argue with you, you're right. now f.. off

[Soapsoaplady]

You are extremely narrow minded and judge people based on your sexist, prejudiced views that you formed yourself.

[Mrtcn01]

@Soapsoaplady Why do you have to say something, my friend? What are you arguing about? A 23-year age difference is far too much, mentally, physically, and emotionally. The woman will be at her prime at 35, and the man at 58, when his time will be over. What kind of mindset are you living in, and what are you defending?

[Soapsoaplady]

Not for casual relationship, age is just a number there once the younger person is 18.

It can work, but give it a few years before you decide if you want to get married.

[dudeinohio]

You are at different life stages. I wouldn't do it

You are dating a guy who is over 60?

May take some work, but any relationship does
