@GeorgeJorge

all depends on what you want out of a relationship ......

for every example of success in couples with age gaps there are failures.

Absolutely! Age is but a number. 💕💕💕


It comes down to compatibility.


The connection between two people is not dependent on age. As adults it is perfectly fine. If they add joy to your life and makes you happy that is the best of all.


Companionship as we age is so important. Never under estimate the value of a friend. At every stage of life friends and partners are treasured commodities.

Maybe it rarely does.

But if it is what it is, it should probably be embraced rather than feared. Love can come in many forms. I mean... So long as said young man is at least legal.

To be real, age gap relationships are becoming more common, and it gets a lot of judgment still. Don't let people's petty thoughts on it sway you from something awesome. If it's right, it's right, and definitely worth fighting for.

I suppose it depends on how big the actual age gap is

Sure can, love is love. My boyfriend is 11 years older. Maybe a little different as he is the man. I can only say, just enjoy the moment. If it's healthy, continue. Age is just a number.

Yes Sure ! but 2 to 10 years gap is good. 5 to 10 is ok but gap more than that could be difficult to handle because it will become almost generation gap.

heheheh, love the name

Ok serious now.

Age is a number!
Gee - I am sure you have heard that before.

Next one is
It is a state of mind.

All of it is a lie and all of it is true.
Gasp? I am sure it seemed confusing.

All my life I have had to deal with "generation gaps" and "Age differences" from your too old (only heard that once) to you "When you get older you will understand."
I STILL say BS.

So here are the Facts:
Parents had 11 year difference
Me to siblings range from 4 years to 17 (Blended Family)
Father was in mid-forties when had me
Spouse is 19 years my senior.

My experience:
The biggest issue will be the difference between what you want, what you expect and what you get.

Age honestly is a number. My experience has been, I have had my fair share OOLLDD babies and young grumpy stubborn people.

Experience, culture, community, parenting, worldview has more impact in your relationships then age.
