When it comes to relationships, do you care about age gaps or not? I've seen some people dating someone or getting married to someone who's more than 30 years older than them. I can't feel comfortable in such a relationship.

The max age gap I can deal with is 10 years. Anything above 10 years, I'm out.


What age gaps are you okay with in a relationship?

I'm fine dating up. I met my wife when I was 19 and she was 28...

She's still as beautiful now as she was when she was 28.

As long as you're a consenting adult, and they are too, I'm out of it.

Nine or ten years the highest I can take, or consider acceptable. Anything above that, makes me worried about the future compatibility. But what really bothers me is the possible disagreement and objectives that two people may have because of different ages, and different approaches to life.
 
My parents have a 15 year age difference but they have been happily married for over 55 years. Love knows no numbers!

I want to marry someone who is mature in the mind and not even age. As a man, she shouldn't be older than me as well. I want to be the leader and she supporting me to excel in everything that I do.

I was 5 years older than my ex when we are still together in a relationship. We have a baby girl but she's no longer part of her life as she choose not to be. I can't do more than 5 years gap.
 
I used to tell anybody that cares to listen that age doesn't mean you are matured. In relationship, I will like my man to be older than me with 3-5 years old but if I just see that you don't reason like a matured person, the relationship won't work.
If even age doesn't seem like it matter about being mature, I'm still never going to be interested in getting into a relationship with someone too younger or too older more than 10 years.

It's really painful to have a baby, and the mother is not there for her. How is your daughter coping? Does she stay with you or with a guardian right now?

It broke my heart because I felt like she left me at two cross roads with her decision to leave. She's doing well and I'm more happy to be there for her.
 
Honestly as long as the two people are consenting adults age doesn't bother me too much. Could be 5, 10 years, heck even 15 doesn't bother me. Though I don't think I personally could be with someone much older than me, my wife is only a few months older than I am. We were born the same year so we grew up during the same time and have similar hobbies.

10 years seems to be the comfortable norm for a lot of people. I think it depends on the maturity of the person for me really.

I completely agree with you. I can understand that sometimes age doesn't mean someone is mature which is where the last part of your assessment comes in.
Yeah! I've come across so many adults who are not mature based on their character. On the other hand, I've seen younger people way more mature. That's why some people would say that age is just a number.

I tried dating a 19-year-old when I was 29. That didn't go over well. I should've realized someone that age just coming into the fruition of adulthood would still be immature and lack understanding of certain aspects of human beings. I would probably only date someone 5 - 7 years younger/older than me at this point.
