Age Gap Relationships

My OH is 15 MONTHS younger than me,he tells people he's my Toy boy

My DH was eleven years older than me. It wasn’t an issue, we were on the same wavelength and had what I suppose you would call chemistry.

My sister’s husband was 21 years her senior which caused quite a stir and she had a lot of negative comments along the lines of ‘you will be a young widow’. Ironically, she died 15 years ago at 54 whilst her H is still fit and well at 89.

My other sister was three years older than her husband. He’s lost without her.

I had a lovely fling when I was 17, with a 32 year old. Does that count or do you have to have married them.

my husband was 39 when we met and i was 23 we had 18 years and a son together, he died when i was 39.

There's 15 years between us - both on 2nd marriages. We laugh that when I was starting secondary school, he had just got married first time.

Strange that a relationship that would have been taboo then is perfectly acceptable now.

Of course, I am the more maturely behaved one in the relationship...

FannyCornforth, which one do you mean? I once had a lovely fling with a chap 15 years younger. My second husband was nine years older.

Mr. B is 4 years younger than me. Most people assume I am younger than him.

DH 2 years older than me.

In my youth, could never imagine marrying someone younger than me. Just seemed like a husband should be older.

Also felt a husband had to be taller than me, not difficult as I am average height.

Not sure why I thought this.
