My late husband was 17 years older best man I ever knew
It’s all about how you feel about the relationship not what anyone else thinks or says and if your doubting your relationship now then I’d sit down and look at how the relationship is going… must be some sort of insecurity if your asking a bunch of strangers their thoughts on the topic… now that all being said relationships are all about being supportive of each other not what others think of you and your man. You have to live with being with him and your choices don’t be scared to take the risk because of a number if he makes you happy then hold on tight and leap with it and take the risk enjoy life and don’t worry the observations of others… listen to what’s in your heart and what makes you happy not what the standards society had put in place to what they think should make you happy.
My boyfriend is 10 years younger than me. He’s 47, has way more gray hair than I do, and we get along quite well. Though we don’t live together yet.
A know a couple that the lady husband is older then her buy 16 years. This june they will be celebrating their 21 wedding anniversary.
If your on Facebook asking for relationship advice and you are bringing up the 15 year gap then maybe you are the one who has a problem with the gap and if so, the relationship is already in trouble before it even gets off the ground

My boyfriend is 10 years older than me and we have been together since 1997 and have 3 kids so age isnt a factor really.
My sister’s husband is 16 years older then her. They’ve been married 30 years
My ex husband was 15 years older than me. Age was not an issue
My grandparents where 14. Yyears apart and married till death took my grandma at old age
As long as I’m happy, I do not care! Noone else pays my bills or sleeps with me!
If it doesn’t feel like 15 years to you, don’t worry about anyone else.
I think it definitely depends on personality. If it’s a creepy age difference I get 18 year old and a 30 year old… Then no.
16 years difference between my late husband and me… Lasted 10 years before he passed
Keep in mind one day your going to be um at a peak and some men lose testosterone and then what you once had becomes a wall of regrets and what ifs
Age has nothing to do with it ,that’s only a number .are you happy ? Then go for it !
Im 33 and my fiancé is 25 and I’ve never been so happy in my life

Do what makes you happy.
I just met a wonderful man a few months ago, he’s 15 yrs older than me and he’s amazing! I’m really happy! We’ve been together 2 months now. Do what makes you happy and feeling loved. As long as he treats you right, respect you and respects your relationship, it shouldn’t matter.

It really depends on where you are in your life. If you want kids that would be something to definitely consider because if you are a younger girl and want children he may not feel the same. It’s something you should talk about if you guys are getting serious. I had my girls a little later in life, 27 with my first daughter and 32 with my second. So, I’m a little older than most of my daughters friends parents. My husband at the time was only 2 years older than me. If you do plan on having kids eventually, you want to make sure he can keep up with them. If kids aren’t an issue in your situation, then I say if he’s good to you and he makes you happy, go for it. Life’s too short! Best wishes.

I’m 13 years older than my husband. We will be married 21 years this July. I love him more now than I did then. He treats me very good. It can be tough at times but it had nothing to do with age. Just your normal marriage issues. But we always come together in the end. Communication is the best advice I can give you. If you love each other and have that, you’ll be fine. Always respect each other also!

I’m married to someone 9 yrs older then me we get along most of the time but I’m not one to sit around and he can do it all day and it drives me nuts. This is so weird cuz before he retired he never sat still he worked 3 jobs at one time. So just realize it may be a problem as you both get older then again it may not. Good luck

My parents are 25 years apart. They have had a happy life. I would say the hardest part is watching my dad age while my mom is still so young. He is retired and she’s still working her tail off. Would they change it? Absolutely not. 33 years later they are very much in love.

My husband is 20 years older than me. Although I act his age and he acts like mine. Lol. We have been together for almost 40 years.
Did people judge us, yes. But we decided we didn’t care what others said and continued to see each other.
My mom was the worst. But, even she has accepted that we will make it. That took years.
All I can say is we work. We are happy and content in our lives.

It works for some, it doesn’t for others. If you are more mature than others your age, it might work. But be prepared to be made to feel like you are too young for them. Date them for a while and just see how things work. Give it plenty of time. My daughter dated someone a lot older than her and they were happy until he passed away. She lived with another older than her for years, had a child and finally left because she was tired of being controlled. Depends on the person you are seeing.

Many years ago I was 20 and dated a man who was 35. We hit it off and I was quite serious about him. We did not end up together due to religious differences and 15 years is a big difference. You don’t necessarily have the same reference points. And imagine your being 50 and his being 65. I am 75 now and there is a big difference re energy levels from 50 to 65. I looked him up and he died years ago, so I would have been alone at a relatively young age. But I really did like that man! I learned a lot from him, some important things that changed my life.

My husband is 22 years older than me. We have been married 24 years. We were never able to have children together. That was very hard for me. Sometimes you feel like you don’t fit in anywhere because other people can feel awkward around you. His age group saw me as too young and my age group felt weird around him because their husbands were young. He is the love of my life. But any relationship is not without challenges. I was 38 when he could no longer perform in the bedroom. So…there are things to think about.

Yes it works as long as there is substance to your relationship. My husband and I are almost 20 years apart we don’t care if people look at us funny. Out families are supportive once they realized it was a healthy relationship. I find most single guys my age (20-30) are very immature and not marriage material.

If you’re mature enough and honest with yourselves, being together…for each other … committed and realize everyone ages and beauty does not last forever except through the eyes of love.
My husband is only 8, but looks older because of his gray hair, people tried to judge, but we didn’t, and still don’t 22yrs later. It doesn’t matter the age as long as you love each other.

I’m in a relationship of 10.5 yrs now. He is 6 yrs younger than me. But he is loyal, doesnt play head games, or hurt me in any way. He is very supportive and loving. He spoils me when he can. I know who I have and I’m not giving that up.

There is a 10 year gap between my husband and I (me being older) and we’ve been married 31 years. My older brother and his wife have been married 41 years. There’s a 15 year age gap with them also. Go with your heart and pay no attention to what others think.
