Anybody in an age-gap relationship?

Question

Is anybody in a relationship with an older person, male or female? How are things working or have worked? and how did you deal with all the negative attention?

Answer 1

16 and 22

Answer 2

okay so i was 12 at the time and he was 17. it worked really well for a little while but we just couldn't find ways to hang out so we decided to break up. then, just recently me being 13 and him almost 18 i wanted to try again but he wouldn't date unless i agreed to give him head so we didn't go back out. they don't really work to well most of the time.

Answer 3

Yes, he was nine years older. I'm fifteen. :/  My parents found out.  He hopefully is waiting for me, since we can't talk anymore.  He lives in CA and I live in FL.  I plan on going to college out there so I can be with him.  I knew him for a year, and I love everything about him.

EDIT:

My parents are thirteen years apart, so it really wasn't for them to talk, but if you really love someone, and they care about you, it will work out.  Obviously this got negative attn. but not from my friends or anything while it was going on.  If we have to go to court, I plan on defending him no matter what.

Answer 4

I am 16 my girlfriend is 18 and things are great between us it has been a year and a month. Honestly I get along really well with all of her friends I really don't like younger people so I love hanging out with them. My girlfriend before her was 21 big mistake she never grew up.

Answer 5

I live in the UK.

My boyfriend is 26 and I am 19. I guess living in the UK things are more liberally. So i do not know where you live. The age gap is 7 years. Frankly people are cool with things like that in this country. As long as you dont break the law. People are fine with it!

(Under 16 will be illegal!)

Answer 6

I'm not and haven't been in any relationships at all, because I'm not interested in dating at all now because I'm only 13. If I were to date when I'm older I would be okay with at the most a 5 year age gap.

Answer 7

i'm 16 & he's 19, so three years. we've been dating for almost 11 months, we've been through a lot and we love eachother so much and make it through everything. i really could careless what others think about us, i'll be with this boy till the day i die. (:

Answer 8

im married to the love of my life. even though he is 84 and i am only 26 we couldn't be happier. hope this answers your quesiton  

Answer 9

I'm 15 and hes 19..he went to jail for rape but came out and came right back to me and said nothing can tear us apart. And we've been together for a year and 7 months we have our ups and downs and some people don't like are relationship but there not in it with us. its only me and him and we ignore everyone else. People say it wont last but were determined to prove them wrong!

Answer 10

if it's love, whose to sAy it's not real, or not right. it's your buissness, and if the presure and negative attention outweighs your feelings for this other person, maybe it's not right, but love is crazy so the best thing you can do is trust ur gut and hope for the best. good luck, I hope I helped!!!

Answer 11

I have been with my partner for 3 years and a bit. I am 23 and she is 44. Now I could care less about the age difference, and the negative attention that has been projected towards us by her friends, my friends and the general public. However, we have our own issues to deal with as does any couple, but I find myself questioning sometimes whether or not some of our problem is as a result of the age difference, which is a very logical thing to do. It is just a matter of not letting that question be the end of a  beautiful relationship. Being the younger one in the relationship, you eventually have to accept that you are not completely the mature person you try to be. And without it being said, your older partner will bring that side of you out. Now the key in making it successful is not to lie to yourself but rather accept that you are still growing and you have fallen in love with someone who happens to be substantially older than you are, and regardless of the age you love them unconditionally.

Answer 12

well yes me and my partner have a age gap and we deal with alot of drama but the way we get rid of are problems is if we have any problems we promised to not to talk to any one else and go strait to each other and talk about it and find out the facts or even confront each other
