Any more English members??

Hi there

I'm new to AgelessLove.com. I'm an English woman (54) who has a gorgeous partner 15 years younger than me. I've been looking for a while now for something similar to Ageless Love in England but can't find anything so I wondered if there were any other English members on here. Maybe the older women . younger man thing is more acceptable in the US? It seems ok here for an older man to have a younger woman but not so the other way round!

I'd love to get in touch with other English ladies in a similar relationship to mine ~ be great to exchange chat about the good bits and the bad bits of such relationships!

In hope .....

There are quite a few English members here......... I am one of them :D ...............

Personally, I don't really think that the attitudes to OW/YM relationships are any different here then they are in the US to be honest. There will always be people that display negative attitudes to those of us that break, what they percieve as, the social norms.......

The secret is to be happy with your partner and enjoy your your life, when it comes right down to it that is the most important thing.

I hope there are others here as well?

Hi Shewolf

Great another Englishwomen! Hopefully we can chat soon! I'm new to message boards so not really sure how it works yet! Just thought I'd give it a try cos I dont know any other couples in age gap relationships. I've been with my YM for five years now . how bout you?

Yes, another English girl. Regular visitor to the site to read the posts, as I too can't find anything like this in the UK. I think age gap relationships are still considered a bit unusual here (unless it's older man/ younger woman, which seems perfectly acceptable, but the other way still raises eyebrows in the UK).

Hi Marbelina and welcome!

I think it's great that you're finding other English members to share with.

But I also want to add a note...

In the same way that love sometimes comes in unexpected packages, so does support! :)

In my case, I've found helpful words of guidance not only from American women my same age (50s)... but I've also gained a lot of insight from a very wise and very young (early 20s) woman from Spain.

Whoda thunk it? ;)

Hi Faith

Thanks for your message. It's great to know there are other women like me around the world in OW YM relationships . to be honest as I don't actually know anyone in such a relationship I was beginning to think I was the only one! LOL! Be great to chat with you sometime. What age gap do you and your partner have?

Hi ukgirl

Thanks for your message. Yes I've surfed the internet many times looking for something similar in the UK but there just isn't anything is there. Maybe we should start one!!!

It's so frustrating isn't it that it seems socially acceptable for a man to have a younger woman. What's your age gap with your partner. Where in the UK are you from?

Hope to chat again soon.

Be great to chat with you sometime. What age gap do you and your partner have?

We've been together for 2 years, and we've got one of the bigger age gaps... 26 years.

But truth to tell, the long-distance gap is our biggest obstacle... which, happily, is being removed when he moves here from Germany next month. :D

Otherwise, when we're together, the age gap just melts away. :)

WOW! How exciting . I wish you all the happiness in the world. How true ~ when we're together there is NO age gap at all ~ we are true soul mates. I think we must have met in another life and have been brought together in this one to experience true love. Getting all soppy now . beta go and have some cocoa!!:p

Hello Marbelina
It's a 10 year gap,(44,34) and based in S England. Don't know if I should call him "partner" - probably scare him away! We've been meeting regularly for over 3 years, he's my best and closest friend and soul mate, hopefully one day we'll make the real partner stage.

Hello ladies! I'm not from the UK but my husband is :D I'm 40, he's 25, we're best of friends and we've never been happier.

it is soooooooooo nice to here this, thought mine was sooo immature have been in relationships in the past were things after a couple of years were more committed
We've been together 2 1/2 years and he's 26 and I'm 40
I so understand... btw I'm scottish and live in Warwick in the Midlands.....hiya to you all:D

I am from England, albeit living here in the US. I am an older woman in a relationship with a much younger man who has done so much for my self esteem and has given me so much understanding and happiness. We are from different cultures and this has also added to our relationship. I feel so blessed.

:D . I feel so blessed.

Hi Vee

Thanks for your post . pleased to meet you. How many years do you and your partner have between you. How long have you been together. My partner and I have been together for 5 years now. Things haven't been easy for us as I have two adult children who don't approve of our relationship and in fact have never met my partner which is a shame as it does tear me apart sometimes but I can honestly say I never knew what true love was until I fell in love out of the blue with him!

Where were you from in England?

If you'd like to chat more I'd love to hear from you.

Hiya, i'm new to this board too and I love it, hope you will too.

It has given me hope and faith to continue in my relationship with my YM.I'm living in the N.E of England and my family and friends are the other end of the country so this is my source of wisdom and advice.

I have found that since starting this relationship and mentioning the age gap to people they come back with so many similar stories,the majority successful relationships,it has made me wonder why it is still a kind of taboo subject here.

My confidence has been boosted a hundred fold whilst out for a drink on saturday night with my YM when a man my age shook his hand and said "Top man!",I was in fits of laughter!

The best advice I have taken from the lovely ladies here is take one day at a time and forget the age difference,it's how you are as a couple that matters.

I continue to learn and live my life as if I was a 16 yr old in love for the first time :p

Hellooooooooo to you toooooooooo and thanks for your message. I have only been on here for 2 days and already I realise I'm not alone! We've been together for 5 years and for a number of years now I've been looking for a support board like this in England without success!

I'd love to hear about your relationship....

What a lovely philosophy on life to live it as if you were a 16 yr old in love for the first time.

Look forward to more chat soon.

Oh sure, sure... skip right over the American girl since she's not the one from England. My hubby's from Weston-Super-Mare and lived on IOW when we met if that helps!

Hi there :rolleyes:

Soz . I didn't mean to pass you over! I did actually go onto your blog site and got involved in reading that and then never actually posted a reply!!

Do you visit England very often. Being from the Midlands Weston super Mare is actually our nearest seaside town so we do go there now and again for a day out. I do love the IOW tho . lovely little island. I had a lovely couple of holidays there in my teens with my Mum & Dad a few years ago!! LOL! Did you meet on the IOW or in the US?

From England here too, dating a vym (I'm 30, he's nearly 19) who's Scottish but moving in with me next week :)

Met online almost a year ago and have just clicked in a way I have never experienced before. Love him to bits, and moving in together so we can give this relationship our very best shot, as we both think it could be something good.

relationship our very best shot, as we both think it could be something good.

Hi there rosiecotton

Just wanted to wish you all the luck in the world starting your new life together. We've been together 5 years now . still hold hands everywhere we go and talk to each other 3/4 times a day on the phone . just like we did before we lived together!

Let me know how it goes.

Hi UKGirl,

I am originally from Northampton, Used to work for the ordnance survey and often visited Warwick as we had an office there. There is a gap of over 20 years between me and my friend, We have known each other for eight and ahalf years and did not get involved until just over 2 years ago. I have a son who lived in the UK, I have not told him of our relationship as yet. I do not think he would aprove and probably would call me a fool but I have really developed as a person since knowing my friend. He taught me to laugh again and also to think more of myself. I could not imagine being without him in my life now.

Would love to hear from you again.

Me hubby didn't even think twice about our age gap as his parents are 26 years apart themselves. I was the one who balked and -- I'm embarrassed to admit -- I lied about my age the first time his mum and I chatted. By a whole three years. :rolleyes: I couldn't stand that I'd lied so I told her the truth two days later. After she had a good laugh about it she said, "You daft cow! If you're going to tell a lie, make it a good one at least!" :D

My ancestors from England, does that count? Shropshire County.

I dated a ym from there when visiting years ago during the summer. He was VERY nice, from Blackpool, a model, SO gorgeous!:)

looks around for rob.....

;)

Hi Vee,
thanks for the post, that gives me hope that in 2-3 years I may eventually get there! I can wait, it's worth it for me. In the meantime I'll enjoy the lovely companionship and the good cuddles. It's like going around & around the side of the pool and being too scared to jump in, him more than me. I have children too, and I think he finds that a bit scary as a full-time idea. Did your relationship naturally evolve into a partnership, or did you have to lead him? I daren't push anything in case I loose him. He's a quiet, cautious and private person.
I know Northampton/Warwick area , it's not all that far from me. Unfortunately never been to the USA though.

Hello from Nottingham... (or rather, ayup me duck!)

Hi Japan

Hope to hear from you.
