    I'm not sure age makes a big difference when you are younger, however if you do commit to a long lasting relationship, and there is a large age gap, I think there are issues.

    I met my dh when I had just turned 30, he in his late-40's. A 17 year difference between the two of us.

    Now, almost 16 fantastic years later, no amount of shared common ground can hide the fact that we are at different stages of our life cycles.

    I'm not sure I can say I regret making the choice I made, and being with him as of yet; but I can see that my perspective might change in the future, as our roles change and I become more of a caregiver.
