What are your opinions on age gap relationships?

I’m curious as to what people think of age gap relationships. I feel that nowadays more and more people are involved with someone a lot younger or older than them.

Answer #1

I really dont mind. As long as the bloke treats me right and doesnt force me into anything I dont want to do I dont care. :)

Answer #2

I don’t have a problem with it at all as long as it is TWO ADULTS involved in the relationship.

I do have a slight problem if there is a huge age gap and there is a teen involved. I also realize that you can’t judge every situation and even sometimes teens together with someone much older can make a relationship work (but that is rare).

I know of two people who have been married for over 20 years with a 15 year age gap between them - around here it isn’t that rare at all I suppose.

Answer #3

I think that in the ages of 14-18 that big age gaps are a bad thing. The avrave 16 year old does compleatly different things than an 18 year old. not to mention they most likely dont have as much freedom and dating the 18 year old might just get them in trouble.

Although once over the age of 21 it donst seem to matter as much the muturity leval is often closer to the same. and not to mention both will probely be living witout the parents and frankly thats when age does not matter.
Answer #4

well see im in a relationship with a 20 year old and im 16. the age gap doesn’t matter at all to me. yeah I can’t do everything he can but he understands that and so do I. we know our limitations with each other. Also, I have known him for a long time and have been dating him for over a year now so the gap doesn’t make a difference, you can’t control if you like or even love someone.

Answer #5

I think that if both people are 21+ then the relationship is okay. If one or both people are teenagers, then that will be an issue

Answer #6

I’m 19 and my Wife is 30 years older we have been together almost 2 years, We’re perfect for eachother and believe me when i tell you she looks better than most 21 year olds. :)

I love her and she loves me that’s all there is to it.
