Age gap opinion - 13 years?

Question

I'm 29 - he's 41. We get along PERFECTLY... is the age gap too large for it to become something longterm?

Answer 1

Heck no. And that's 12 years, not 13.

My husband is 40 and I'm 27 and we've been together for around 7 1/2 years now.

EDIT:

.

Ignore those below me. No one has EVER suggested my husband is more of a father figure to me and we have never had trouble having anything in common. We love the same music, enjoy similar movies, have a similar sense of humor, have similar goals and dreams, etc. We have made it work well and don't even notice the age difference.

Once you're an adult and self-sufficient as you both are, the age really no longer matters (unless of course you're 29 and he's 75). Live it up and enjoy it!

And happy belated b-day!

Answer 2

um age is nothing. if love is there then thats all that matters

Answer 3

absolutely it could be long term!! I speak from personal experience.  I dated a guy i met on here, he was from london and he was 32 yrs older than i was ,, i was 33.  He was the greatest love of my life, the only reason wearen'tt together is because he became terminally ill and lost a 2 yr battle withCancerr.. So yes , go out with this guy, older men know how to treat a lady and sometimes they feel pretty important to have a younger woman at their side... GO FOR IT

Answer 4

I'm not but my sister is and we are close. They don't realize there is an age difference. He has kids so I guess that keeps him "young." It all depends whether you are willing to overcome the age difference and learn to share with each other so the gap isn't really a problem. Hope that helped.

---this was the same answer i gave someone else and she said it helped

Answer 5

Personally I wouldn't do it, I mean don't you wanna do 29 yr old stuff with someone your own age?

Answer 6

No problem.  Older guys know a lot more than younger guys and are a lot more stable.  They have an easier time raising kids because they don't panic and drink/drug like young guys.  If he doesn't smoke or drink, keeps fit, and fears God, you'll have no (zero) age gap problems!  

Answer 7

This is perfect.  

The rule of thumb is half of the man's age plus nine years.

For a woman, subtract nine years from your age and double that for the maximum age of a man.

A man 51 years old could date all the way down to about 34.

A woman 40 years old could date up to a 62 year old man.

Best Wishes

Answer 8

If you were 18 I'd say it's a pretty big gap but at 29, it's not really that big of a deal. I'd go for it

Answer 9

Not really, but consider the consequences of such a relationship.  People will look upon you wondering whether he is your father.  He will grow old far before you, leaving you feeling perhaps unsatisfied in bed.  He will be one of those dads that is mistaken for the grandfather on numerous occasions.
