37 YO man and 22 YO woman...

Hi all. I came across this website while Googling for information regarding relationships in which there is a considerable age difference. After quickly browsing a few threads, I see that "considerable" is a relative term!

I have been seeing my girlfriend for almost a a year now. We recently began speaking about longer term desires and plans. As I have from the beginning, I find myself wondering about the consequences of developing a life-long relationship with someone 15 years my junior. We have already had a few challenges along those lines, but have managed to work things out quite well.

I guess what I am seeking here is input from others, and am very interested in hearing different opinions.

Welcome Johnny! I am 21 and my honey is 42...he's twice my age and we have been together for 2 years now. I am happy to hear that you two are happy as well. Yes, it can be a little challenging from time to time...but, what relationship isn't?? I have never been happier in my life. I would love to hear more about how you met and where you are going.

Hope to hear from you soon! Don't hesitate to ask our opinions on things, or just get some advice......I am around the same age group as your gal, so it could help to get some input on certain issues :-)

You've come to the right place, Johnny.
You'll get alot of great advice and opinions here to assist you with your relationship with your YW.
So kick off your shoes and relax. You're in good hands here. :D

My husband is 57 and I am 31 - a 26 year age gap. We've known each other over 7 years and are going on to our 3rd year of marriage soon. Beyond my own "age gap" concerns, my husband also had his. When our relationship started to turn serious, he often told me he wished I was older! Too funny. What sealed the deal for us was and is the simple fact that we love each other and we just work well together as a couple. Once we began to look at our very special love as a precious gift that so few find, we backburnered the age concerns. For me personally, I'm so grateful that all that time spent worrying and agonizing (years and years) were not the only years we were meant to have together. Today, we are simply living "happily ever after."

Best of luck to you.

Hey Welcome Johnny!!!!!!

You are definatly in the right place!!!!!! I am 28 years old and I just recently married my OM who is 45 on August 30th of this year.... we are now pregnant expecting our first child together....... So if we worried about our ages we wouldn't be as happy as we are now..... Please just realize that love is between two people not between two ages!! Souls and love doesn't know or understand time they just understand each other!!!!

Good Luck

We will always be here for you

Yes -- Welcome, Welcome!!

You will certainly find that you are not alone here. Congratulations on getting to the point where you want to look to the future with your girlfriend - it is a big step (particularly in an age-gap relationship), but it is also a wonderful thing!!

I am 34 and my husband is 52, so 18 years between us, and we will celebrate our 1st wedding anniversary a week from Sunday. I think the great thing about age-gap relationships is that nothing is ever taken for granted because it can't be, so relationships tend to be well thought out and nurtured because of the "what ifs".

Good luck to you.

Hey WELCOME!! You will find LOTSA support.... And feel free to ask any and all questions chances are it's been asked before and we can help ya.. or if it's NOT been asked before, then someone's thinking of asking it..LOL

Ahem.. now to me.. teheh

I'm 19.... my OM is almost 39... so 19.8 year gap...Been together for longer than I should say.. :D

We recently married back in May.. I eloped from college.... and have since went through nearly every stressful thing a relationship can go through.. but somehow made it out alive..LOL..

No seriously, you'll hear me complain occasionally on a long rant of whether or not the age gap is worth it.. or if the differences are too much and blahblahblah.. but I'm usually just PMS..

I think the gap works fine... I don't usually notice it til someone else brings it up...we're two healthy people who love one another madly..


anyways.. welcome!
