Age gap

[Scarlett]

do you think 36 (me) and 56 (him) is too big an age gap?

[wonderwoman1]

age means nothing...as long as you both respect and care for one another, whats the prob? go for it!!!!

Age is all in the mind. Many 56 year olds do not act/behave/feel like it and so don't seem as old. Once you are both adults, age gaps cease to matter as much. I went out with someone 15 years older than me for a while and though it didn't ultimately work out, the age gap wasn't a problem. The only time I even remembered he was older was when his kids were there.

No problem whatsoever, one of my ex girlfriends was 17 and I was in my 30's and we never thought about it for a second because it wasn't relevant. It didn't work out but nothing to do with age and we stayed really good friends.

I agree, I think once you're adults age gaps become much less of an issue. I know of a married couple who have a 26 year age gap, and you just don't notice it. Ultimately if two people are happy together then why shouldn't they be with each other? Life's too short!

If you are both happy then age should not be an issue.
A word of warning tho, when you are 72 he will be 112! :o)
Maths was never my strongest subject.

Absolutely agree with all the above.....if you two don't see it as an issue and it doesn't bother either of you, then thats enough.
Hope it works out for ya!

You both are mature adults. I'm sure you would have recognised if he was an old pevert trying to take advantage.
Respect & honesty is important in a relationship. If you have that things will be fine. Go for it!

Hi Scarlett

My husband is 23 years older than me (24 for 4mths), and we have been very happy together for 23 years......

Hiya Scarlett, I'm 33 and my fiance's 26 - I've had all the cradle snatcher jokes and raised eyebrows followed by.. toyboy eh?!

Age is just a number, if it feels right then you don't have to explain yourself to anyone.

[l/essexlads]

Age doesn't matter. All of my partners have been older than me, not a preference, just the kinda guys that im attracted too. As long as you want to be with him, there should be no problem...
