Our 19-year age gap was only an issue to other people

[allyn]

Hummm... Me and my partner got 20 years difference... And it never bother us at all... Not even other people's opinion about our age gap... I think the worst opinion toward us is not our age gap but our status...(bcoz we are both separated) its more on between us, how we treat each other... He been patient with me and very supportive... I wouldn't trade my relationship with him with a younger guy who have no sense of responsibility and backbones.

So as long as you know what you feel towards each other I guess nothing really matter outside your reationship

Yes, this is something I have often heard, especially with SE asian ladies saying why they want an older man who will be a real man and look after her.

Age gap? Meh, you can be sure she loves you for you (and as I've said elsewhere, you can tell deep down if something is right or not)

What matters is that both partners go into it with eyes open, know the advantages and disadvantages, and if the age gap is really big, that at some point, one of them will feel older.
Get over that, and it's all go It's no different from a couple the same age. Yes there will be more shared experiences and outlooks, but there will be other problems, there always is in every relationship.

You always have your ups and downs, but if you feel right together - it is absolutely no-one else's damned business, and they're probably only jealous anyway
