Am I too old for him?

My wife is 13 years older than me. I think I was 27 when I first asked her out. We've been together 4 years. Age is just a number.1

Just echoing what most have stated, if you are both happy, nuts to what anyone else might say/think. My husband is 10 years younger than me. We have been married for almost nine years now and all's well.0

My wife and I have the same age difference. Except, in our case, I am the older. Never been a problem. 25th Anniversary coming up.0

So I started dating this guy, very interested in him but just found out his age. He is 29, I am 37. Is he too young for me? Anyone here with a similar age gap in their relationship?
I think so; those ages are two totally different phases of life.
But we are all different, so maybe this is okay for you and him.
It depends on your goals, expectations and mindset.0 -
We doing this now? Cool!
My wife is so old she knew Burger King when he was just a prince.0 -

I've just started dating my girlfriend this past January. I turned 38 in March, she turns 30 in July.
Our age shows up a bit in conversation; she knows more about pop culture from the 2000s, and i know more about the 90s....
but our interests line up, we have similar senses of humor, she's smart, kind, beautiful, fierce, and i love her. She's not too young for me, and as long as she'll keep this old man around, i'm happy.0 -

It's fine unless you both are seriously thinking to share your future (aka marriage) together.
What if he wants kids & you don't??
Remember.... Ashton Kutcher & Demi Moore marriage fell apart mainly because she couldn't give him any kids of their own.
All the best.
I try real hard in my life not to base major decisions on, or even consider, what Ashton Kutcher and Demi Moore did. It's worked well so far.0 -
My husband was legally drinking when I was born.
Stop overthinking it.1 -
In general, as long as things are legal, the age gap doesn't matter. What I would expect could be problematic is more a "stage of life" difference, which is entirely dependent on the individuals involved. For example, if one member wants to keep clubbing but the other has "outgrown the club scene" and wants to focus more on picket fences than velvet ropes, that can be an issue.0

I am 32. My fiancé is 48. We couldn't be happier. I love the age difference. Sometimes I might wonder if he misses women his age, but if he did I guess he'd go be with them. haha. Who cares about age if you're happy. Life is too short to worry about that.0

If it works, go for it. I'm going to be 31 and sadly, I have not found a mature man in the 28-31 year old range Hell, even the 35/36 year olds I've dated were immature!
If by mature you mean mundane and unlikely to do anything idiotic, I'm 33 and pretty much that. So we do exist, says me, the self appointed spokesman for all mundane 30+ year old males.0 -
In 100 years we'll all be dead and no one will give a toss what we did, so just get on and damn well enjoy the ride!! Every pun intended;)1

I'm 19 and my boyfriend will be 26 in September. My mom is 42 and her husband is 32. Age is just a number0

My wife is older than me by 18 years, and we've been married for 5. Who cares about the number; it's the personality and the looks that count .0 -
My husband married his first wife when he was 27 and she was 60. Not rich or attractive, I guess it was love. Lasted I over 25 years. There's a ton more to the story but I won't go into it here.0

I think an age gap can be a problem if people are in completely different stages of life, such as one person still wanting kids, and the other one is done having children. I had a relationship with a significant age gap, and the biggest issue is that since my ex had much more life experience, he felt that it gave him permission to basically treat me like a child and not let me figure things out on my own and make my own choices. But I don't think an age gap is a problem by itself
I agreed with this wholeheartedly. Stage of life and not being treated as an equal is where age gaps have issues. But also think that when you're in your late 20s is where age gaps can become a little wider, as in dating older. Think early 20s and younger (from personal experience and from others) is when dating at a significant age gap of 5-10 or greater could be an issue long term.0 -
Half your age plus seven is the rule generally... So 37 / 2 = 18.5+7=25.5 So he's 27...you're cool.1
-
A guy should never get involved with an older woman. As a matter of fact she should be half his age +5.0

yes your too old.... for any man.... start buying cats1

Age is really not important, it's maturity and expectations that count. My first girlfriend after I turned 18 was 32 and it was definitely the best experience of my young life. We broke up because she was more immature than I was. Every woman I've dated after that, except one, has been at least 10 years older than me. The only woman I dated in my age range was way too immature and insecure for me and lasted less than 2 months.0
