This isn't a barrel racing question but I was curious. I just started seeing someone who is 15 years older then I am. I am 29 and he is 44. We are both into horses and riding. Obviously this gives us a lot in common right from the start. He understands my world!  Should I be concerned with the age difference?

What is the age gap in your relationships?

My husband is 16 years older than me. I was 31 when we started dating. We don't even think about the age difference, really. 

My husband is 14 yrs older. No big deal. 

There is 10 years between me and mr whit.  While at times the difference doesnt seem a concern at times it does rear its head.  I love him dearly and he me so dont think that it effects that.  but at times the age does catch up to him.  He doesnt have the energy to go do that i do.  He is looking at retirement and I am gonna be ten years behind.  does that mean that he wont travel till i get retired?  Whats that do to the income when he wants to retire and i want toys and home improvements?  So to answer your question there are and will be age differences.  Each couple will figure out how to navagate that or not......

PS I was 27 when i married this wonderful man and the only thing I would change is going back in time to love him longer.

Personally there is only 2 years between my husband and myself.  It certaninly can work especially since you have similar interests.  I do have friends that have big gaps and it doesnt seem to matter until the older one gets old.  Just like the other post said.  Thats the only thing I would think long and hard about.  Sounds like you're happy but i would definitely be thinking about heath and retirement issues even though you are young.  Good luck 

My gap is 4 months and 20 days. lol   I'm the "old" lady in this relationship. HA!

But my niece is 20 something and her SO is 50.   Large gap.  His daughter is her age....  But they are 100% happy and that's all that matters. 

25 years between him and I. We met when I was 21. He was 46. We are 32 and 57 now. We've been married going on 8 years. It wasnt that big of a deal then, and for the most part isnt now. But there are times when his age does show. He's had 3 heart procedures and I think they finally fixed him. He doesnt have the energy some days. Granted, he busts his tail at work. I love him and wouldnt trade him for the world. I joke around that he's like that ol ranch gelding. The one thats been there, done that. Solid but wont pass a vet check

My dad is 10 years older than my mom. He is 88 and she is 78 now. My dad is a workaholic and is still cutting and raking hay, works on the tractors, feeds the cows and helps work them. His mind is as sharp as it ever was and it has just been the last 3 years he has slowed down - but only a little bit.  My mom is active too, helping me raise my 3 year old grandson. My dad has emphysema, but is not on oxygen. The only drawback they have had is that my mom knows dad will go before her and that now everyday is a gift for them. It is hard on her because both her family and my dad's routinely live to their late 90's. She and dad truly love each other and knowing she could live her last 10+ years without the love of her life does weigh on her from time to time. But they have had a glorious 60 years and they would do it all over again. 

I am more than15 years older than my husband.   We have been together for almost 20 years and have a son together.  Most days, I act younger than he does.  Sometimes we run into issues like retirement.  I worried about this when we were first dating, but I finally decided that we were happy together and I wasn't going to give up something really good now to worry about the future.  I am sure that we will keep getting through everything.

I am 10 years older than my husband - the only time it comes up is when someone asks.  It's no big deal in our relationship.  I use to work for a couple that the wife was 13 years older than the husband, very happily married folks, they had been married  for 30 years. I think age only becomes a problem if you let it.

My stepdad was 37 years older than my mom and they were together for 25 years and never married. 

It's all in what you and your SO make of the relationship.  I think too many people worry about what others think, DO YOU!

Be happy - do fun things!!

Barrel racers are natorious for sugar daddies.  

Is there a website to find said Sugar Daddies? I sure can't find one!

I'm robbing the cradle, I'm 2 days older than my fiance, lol 

I did date a man that was 9 years older than me for quite some time. Age wasnt the problem, we just werent a good fit in general not because of our age. Go for it girl.

Sugar Daddy..... Not here... More like a splenda daddy..... 

Don't worry, I've been accused of it. If they only knew...... 

7 years

My husband is 15 years older than me. We have been together 31 years. Only issue is he has had many health problems,but he is still kicking. It has worked for us . I have always been the main bread winner ,but that has never been an issue either 

My husband is 8 years older than I. We've been married 42 years. 

I'm 3 years older than my husband. I never thought I would date anyone younger than me let alone marry one, but he is my world and we compliment each other in so many ways. We've been together over 5 years and married for almost 3, we hardly ever fight but when we do its for a really good reason. Lol 

There is a 20 year age gap between my husband and I. For the first 10 years I really didn't notice the difference as we have a lot in common but now that we are getting older that gap feels a lot bigger. Just food for thought.

You are 29, mature enough to make that kind of decision. Nothing wrong with it. Just know retirement and health will most likely be an obstacle. I am older than my husband, I used to hate to tell people when they asked because you get mocked. Once I stopped caring people also stopped caring. We are happier than most couples in our lives.

My husband and I are 18 years apart. I am 27, he is 46. It completely works for us. In the beginning it was weird for me sometimes but now I don't even bat and eye on it. I will say you will notice some things that are different with that big of an age gap. The one I notice the most is the differences in crowds/friends, where they are at in life versus where I am. But it has its perks too =) 

My husand is 28 and I'm 33

Cradle robber!

He calls me his "cougar"

I am 6 years younger than my hubby. If you are happy together than don't worry about it. Age is just a number. 

I'm 59 and my husband is 53.  We have made it work for 23 years.  We have one child together.  He loves his cars and me my horses. Lol

My fiance and I have a 19 year age gap.  I'm 31 and he's 50.

I think you two have the time of your life. My husband thinks he's 20 but then remembers he's 80.. I may have to find me a younger man here soon or none at all. Lol keep on dancing while you can.

I hope it works for all who choose this path.  I myself married one 2 years younger we have made it work for over 45 years.  I don't think I'd be comfortable with much more difference either way.  JMO  However as I watch my step MIL who is the same age as my husband deal with a man 86 years old, it sure doesn't look like much fun.  She has dealt with it for over 30 years but I don't think they have been a lot of fun years.  

However I'm older and have observed a lot over the years.

I'm 10 years plus shipping and handling older than my wife. Been togheter 30 years yesterday. 

My is 64 and I am 49. Just celebrated our 10 year anniversary December 4th. No regrets!
