Age Difference In A Relationship

I didn't read most or any of your post, but I would like to comment on your title.

I think I've always been into older men. -- I was told when very young I was told that females mature faster than males. I decided right then that I would stick to older men. (I'd be open to dating someone who was a bit younger than myself within a few months or so.)

When I was 19 I was dating and living with a man who was 29. -- I thought this was pretty cool at that time.

When I was 23 I dated a guy who was 62 when we met and 63 when we broke up. He worked full time and lived in another city. I'd pretty much only see him on Fridays after work.

The only time when his age kinda freaked me out was when he stayed over longer the morning after. He was sitting on one of my chairs reading a newspaper with his glasses on. -- He looked so old to me.

I can definitely say that not every case of a female dating an older man is because of "daddy issues".

I do think though that sometimes people want different things at different ages. -- Sometimes an older person in a relationship wants things like marriage or kids when the other person does not.

 

My girlfriend is 20+ years younger than me.

 

My lover is 9 years older then me

 

Seems to me that it is only when the passing of age arrives comes the realisation.
10 years seems 'manageable' but, 20 will have its critics.
Whereas 40-20 years of age is not beyond a reasonable scope, 20 years on when 60-40 years comes into play, there is much of an issue - with 'other' people.
This however is; or at least should not, be any kind of issue.
Many relationships of fewer age gaps have fallen by the wayside.
Living for and in the moment is the only way to be - any of us could get "hit by a bus tomorrow" and devastate one's partner regardless of age, - sexual orientation, faith ... etc, is what we are experiencing Right Here - Right Now
Being Happy (and Hippy) is the only way to be
... methinks

 

How is it going with this girl, dice?

 

I'm in a relationship with a guy 26 years younger than me! I'm a very young 47 and he is 21.......We are living together right now but its not going great! He is so mature one second then the next he really shows his age! Normal i know but still annoying....

But i'm trying to take each day as it comes because yeah we only live once!

 

Yess..update?

 

My g/f is 15 years younger than me. But the difference between her and others with similar or more age spreads I have dated, is that each person is different. Some of those differences make age evident, some do not.

My current g/f and I are aligned in so many ways, the age doesn't become the focal point. I am a young for my age man. She is an old for her age woman.

I ache a bit more than she does after we overdue ourselves. But at least we both overdue it the same.

 

At the hip

 

It never works out

You both have to find a guy your own age

 

Strange things happen at times.
My father was born in 1887 and in his 60s when he met my mother who was 46.
I was born the following year. (Something of a miracle in 1949).
Since my father had been married twice previously, (both of his previous wives had died) I had a step sister who was the same age as my mother.

For years I thought that it was somewhat strange, but a friend of our daughter has a step sister who is 27 years older than her mother.
In her case, her father was 67 and her mother 22 when she was born.

 

Ha..ha.
The older guys I've dated are totally screwed up. Kinda makes sense they have no kids,never been married,etc. Although some can argue that's it's a smart choice . Idk. I just find it interesting. Then again,most people in general are totally screwed up. I just find the older bachelors to be even more so.

 

I have no kids and absolutely have NO regrets in that choice at all. I think the ones having screwed up kids are the problem.

 

What I was getting at is all the older guys I've dated were sweet for a while then ended up being grumpy and possessive,borderline creepersville.

 

I've dated guys the same age as me who were also creeps though. I think the problem is just the male species.

 

Now it all becomes clear

 

I didn't know I was a separate species.

... Is that kind of a fucked up thing to say? It seems like it might be a fucked up thing to say.

Doesn't mean it's not true or that it isn't funny.

 

Mmmmmmm, Hmmmm
