I'll Start. Here's a Question for Ya'll

[Kimberley]

My parents were 12 years apart. I think that you can find happiness, Kristy. Emotionally/mentally, you two are probably the same age!

I am 49 and my new husband is 44. He is alot of fun...He is into alot of different things than my X...However, where he's never been married before or had children, he's only had to worry about himself...I can definately see the age difference sometimes...Like...time to grow up Eric!..My X was a dud! so I thought...time for Brenda to have some fun!

There are 2 couples that are very very good friends of my family's, both the husband is significantly older than the wife. The first, the wife is 26 and the husband is 53 and he has a daughter that is older than his wife. The second, the woman is 34 and the man is 55. Both couples have children and are both happily married. They have both told me that it works for them because the wife is really mature for her age and the husband is really IMmature for his age!

If you are really into this guy, age isn't an issue. My thoughts are that once a person hits a certain point of maturity age doesn't really matter all that much.

If it's meant to be, let it be....oh and don't forget to enjoy it along the way!

Well I think it really depends on the people and their ages at the time. Let me give you an example. My grandmother remarried a man about 10 years after my grandfather died. My problem with it is this. The guy she married is in his late 40's EARLY 50's and my grandmother is going on 78. On top of it all he dated my mother briefly when they were in high school together. I also think that the maturity level has a LOT to do with it. This guy acts like a 10 year old half the time. When I was 18 I was dating a 30 year old. I know sounds bad but I had to grow up really fast as a child and I was much more mature that my age. I can say I did have fun ! LOL LOL

I have never understood why women would want to date older men. I have always been attracted to younger. My bf is almost 4 years younger. I do not think age matters in most cases. I have a girlfriend whose husband is 18 years older than she is. He is in better shape than most men 20 years younger. He also doesn't act his age and I think this is a plus. Age matters to some people, but I think that is because we all go through things at different ages.

My mil and fil are twelve years apart in age-he's older and they have been married over 2o years!!!
