    I have two friends who are married. The girl is 28 and the guy is 55. Do you think relationships with a big age gap can last?

    totally depends on teh people. that big a gap would be too much for me. but if theyre both happy and can make it work (and its all legal like), why the hell not?

    well with him being 55 i cant see it lasting much more than 30 years or so. but u know once u get in your mid 20s and 30s, age gaps are no longer important.

    It's highly unlikely that it is a healthy situation. What I mean is, there are probably reasons a young woman is with a man that old, reasons other than love - lack of self esteem, a midlife crisis, etc.
    Then again, maybe it's the real thing. Maybe little piggies will fly up to my window and bring me ganja treats. Because I love them ~

    of course
    such a relationship can work.....all it needs is for both to be sure of the love between them..then it will be a lasting and satisfying life for both.

    it can work. I'm a firm believer in 'age is just a number'.... as long as both parties are over 20 years old.

    Of course it can work. Although there are definitely some adjustments to be made over the years it still comes down to whether or not they "work" as a couple. My wife and I have a 15 year age gap and have been married 22 years. Most of our issues during that time have been the same as any other married couple.

    I think whether or not the relationship will last, depends very much on the dynamics between the two actually involved in the relationship and their individual personalities.

    The largest age gap between myself and a partner was 14 years. This was a few years back now. Despite him being the older one, he certainly wasn't the mature one!

    He had MANY many problems, and a string of failed relationships behind him, I didn't find out about these until it was way too late. I knew he was divorced, which wasn't a problem for me, but after learning about all the failed relationships I wasn't at all surprised.

    Even now, he still stumbles from one mess to another.

    I guess the main thing which might pose as a problem, is as the years go by, the age gap will seem to widen.

    I know of a woman who dated a man almost 30years older than herself. She invisaged herself at 40, when he would be approaching 70 and she soon changed her mind. You have to think about it in the long term

    Surveys conducted a few years ago by Strathclyde university in Glasgow, Scotland showed that the perfect age gap was eight years. The male being older. This seemed to level up the maturity difference.

    I once had a relationship with a woman entering her menopausal period and believe me those fuckin mood swings caused the relationship to belly up rapid. Heard she's pushing a trolley along the Prom at Santa Monica. Great hump though.

    My gf is 23 and I'm 46. We've had alot of issues that would have been hard for a similuar generation to get through.November will be 5 years. I let her make her own mistakes ,even when experience tells "me" she's gonna have a minor problem. On top ,she's a stripper. I like the fact that other guys pay alot of money to watch what I can have anytime I want. I love her more than anything, and she knows she can do whatever she feels is right. Trust is a vary big part of any relatoinship. I was married for 18 yrs. and my gf and ex were freinds.Drugs split me and my wife.I wanted to be clean and my wife was not ready. my gf and I did not have sex for 2 monthes when we got together. wanted to make sure no mistakes were made. Even slept in same bed! THAT WAS HARD!!! Gf has been dancing last 3 yrs. She had taken brake to get clean from heroin with me. We've both been clean 5 yrs. now. Sadly my ex-wife overdosed 2 yrs.ago.And we both do miss her! Certain drugs are just killers! My 20 yr. old son lives with us also. So this has been challenging, but can work.
