Physical capabilities/ well being may become an issue if there is a very large age difference but if two people can truly love and bring happiness to one another with their eyes wide open, it really doesn’t matter whether there is a large age gap or not. If it’s a father figure that is required rather than a proper lover, well that’s a different story.......

There is 7 years difference between my partner and I. Not a large gap by today’s standards but as the more senior, one that I would not have thought that I would have even considered ten years ago. Like Rayna says, views change over the years
