| Age difference in marriage I was wondering how many women in yorkie talk, are married to, or dating younger men, and how many men in here are married to older or much younger women. |

| I just feel as if I was the only one married to a younger man. I live in a hictown, and people don't realy know, but if I go to a parent teacher meeting, and they go over my child's info, which must be revewd every 3 months, or for insurance, or filling ginechologist' questionare, I always get the "look". |

| I'm single but I was dating a man who was 2 years younger, no big. I want to become one of those women they call cougars!!! LOL just kidding I think a cougar is a woman who dates someone who is younger then them by ten years. and a tiger is a woman who datges someone who is younger then them by 5 years. I can't remember the specifics but there was this big hoopla about it recently in the people magazine type news.

| My boyfriend is younger than me, but not by much. He's going to be 22 on Thursday (HAPPY BIRTHDAY HUN!!) and I will be 23 next month. For 22 days we can (or at least I can) enjoy being the same age. And then my birthday comes and he goes back to calling me his "old lady". He's such a dork!!!

| DH is 3-4 years older than me. I've heard from somewhere that your relationship can reflect on how many years apart you are in age. Like some compare it to like legs under a table. If you're 3 years apart, its like you have a 3 legged table and your relationship is rocky or unstable. If your 4 years part you have a stable relationship. No wonder during the months that my hubby and I are 3 years apart we tend to not really agree on things, but other than that we are pretty stable. As for being like 6+ years, they more legs you have the more stable the relationship? I mean, just look at Ashton Kutcher and Demi More.. BTW, I have no idea if I'm making sense, it getting late here and my brain is not functioning anymore. Good night YT'ers lol |

| My DH is 10 + years older than I am. I was just out of my second marriage: again with stupid "boys" (my age). I wanted to be with a man that was done screwing up his life and wanting to really settledown. (He loves to tell me he had been there and done that! ) I had 2 kids, they were 3 and 6.5. His kids were 14 and 17. So he really was already done with rearing kids. But..we have been together for 20 + years now and I would not change a thing!! ***ETA*** My Dad was 20 years older than my Mom...and to think that she passed away first....you just never know....

| No I married a guy 3 yrs older. But when I was dating after my divorce I was dating guys much younger. Because at the time I wasn't interested and knew I wouldn't marry anyone that much younger. Hope that helps. But then when I got married I went back to the older guy.

| Mine is two years younger than me My last (deceased) was seven years older. I don't think age matters all that much once you're mature, unless it's a "parental" age difference, like if the spouse is 20 or more years older. Even some of those work out though. (The reason I say once you're mature is that I don't think it's a good idea for an 18 year old to marry a 30 year old, or to marry anyone, for that matter. That's a whole different discussion.) What matters with a spouse, or even someone you date, is who they are, not what year they were born. |

| Mike is almost 12 years older than I am. I've always dated older men. I don't have the patience to deal with immaturity of the "boys". lol
