Is 8 years in age difference perveted?

Question

im 18 and he's 26...but we are at the same maturity level and have been together for over a year.

Answer 1

My husband and I are 8 years apart. Of course, you have to remember that you guys will have different points of reference. For instance, he was going into the military when I was going into fifth grade. We have differences in our music references and what was going on during our teenage years. But, overall, 8 years is really nothing. Good luck and love, Rail

Answer 2

I dont think thats perverted, but I've been with men 23 years older than me....I know I know, thats a lot.  But if you survey a lot of couples, I think you'll find that 8 years is nothing to be ashamed of.

Answer 3

nope, your'e good to go

Answer 4

nah its fine.  I would be weird if you were under 18, but I think its OK.

Answer 5

Not at all.  You are both legal, so you are allowed to have any kind of relationship you want.  And over time, the 8 years are going to make less and less of a difference.  Remember, famous actor Tony Randall married a woman 50 years his junior, and James Doohan (Scotty on Star Trek), married a woman 36 years his junior.

I dated a woman 12 years older than me for about 2 years, and nobody gave it a second thought.  They won't for you, either...you're both going to look about the same age most of the time, so no need to worry.

Answer 6

It is perverted if you were 8 and he was 16.  As long as you are at the age 18 and above it is your consent to go out with men older than you.  I do wish you the best by the way in your relationship.

Answer 7

no. it's a perfect example of true love. ^_^

Answer 8

nah, for my aunt and uncle, it's 20!

Answer 9

eight years is nothing to worry about.  be happy.
