" I'm actually the younger of the 2, my girlfriend is 8 years older than me. I'm not really sure what sort of situation you're in, but I think the biggest problem for me is that we're at different points in our lives, she's ready to "settle down" and I'm just getting started doing things. My only advice on this is that you have to be on the same page, she knows one day I want the house and kids she does now, but not to push me about any of it. Other people often find it weird though, and while I fit into her friends easily, my friends cant get over her age.

I think the thing that most often reminds us of our ages is when we're talking about stuff when we were kids, like TV programs or bands. "you mean you don't remember...!", well I was only 2...lol "

" A is almost 4 years older than me, but it hasn't affected anything in our relationship. I don't think the 4 years is so much of a difference though. I think when you get closer to a decade like jackolin, you have more of a disparity like she said. "

" My wife is 14 years older than me and the age difference shows in little things like music and some discussion topics but our values and beliefs are nearly identical, which really makes it work. And in some things I'm actually more mature than she is in that she plays video games and Farmtown and is the "joker" at her office. I'm more serious and like classic literature. And even though our religions are different, we're both spiritual and value family. We're so much alike that we're often confused as being related! Which, now we are, at least in VT! :-) "

" I am 4 yrs older than my partner. Sometimes it does create problems for our relationship. I am pretty much set in my ways and she is younger and wilder than i. I have to remember sometimes that I have been there before and she hasn't quite learned what I have. I also have to think that we both come from different worldsl. Hope this helps. "
