Our 29 Year Age Difference!

Thank you so much! We are the same way but luckily we dont have the long distance but I hope for the best of luck to you and your man!! :)

No problem sugar! It took my family almost year and a half to finally understand and be ok with it and we also live in a very small town and not everybody in town understands or likes it but we dont care. We even go to a small church and they just love us and are wanting us to get married! Stay strong and good luck to ya both!

I am not sure what type of family you come from but since you are a woman and are young I am sure that plays a role in how your parents or family view your relationship. I am the youngest female out of three children and at 22 my parents still feel like I have the decision making skills of a 6 year old. Things have gotten better when I turned 21. You have to prove it to them that you are capable! 19 is pretty young but I had 30 year old friends both male and female at that age which says a lot about competence and maturity I think. Keep your head up!

Thank you :) We've been together for 6 months now and are planning marrage and kids soon. His daughter, (who is a year older than me!), accepts us and is happy for us. Just goes to show that soul mates do exist!

Also, (Im Karen79x by the way, just new profile), I have the mental age of a 30 year old at least, so its not like im like most 19 years! lol

Ya know what im not insecure I know im a beautiful and confident woman. And you have no clue who I am or who he is. I act alot older than I am I always have and whats it matter to you if we have this relationship and how long it lasts we aint in your life you just so happen to read my story. We are happy I do LOVE him and I know what that word means and I seen what it ment everyday in my grandparents before they passed and we have the same thing we just have that one little difference and thats our age and we dont like the fact we have an age difference but you cant help who you fall in love with.

Oh and one more thing dont say another thing about my father he has been there my whole damn life and been the best damn father anybody could ask for as I said before you dont know me or my life or my boyfriends.

ok onthescrapheap I know R3DN3GAL and her boyfriend very well and I also know her family. I have watched these two for years and they are very much in love and she knows what the word means very well. you are probably just a jelouse ***** cause let me guess your life sucks er your boyfriend/lover isnt what you thought it might be. And you should eat your words or better yet go choke on a ****. and yes you just pissed me off. cause it is so stupid that YOU even thought bout saying that! Age is just a number. it doesnt matter if you are striaght, gay, 19 dating someone way older then you or not if they are happy and things are going good and they love eachother then that is that.

you shared your story and i give my honest opinion based on the information you've given and from my own experience. of course you are going to be defensive and true, i don't know you guys and could be totally wrong. Few age gap relationships last long term, and those that do have a heap of underlying problems. Your life, your choice. i wish you luck

Thumper24, why would i be jealous? i'm 45 the thought of sleeping with a 75 year old repulses me!

Yes I did share my story and you do have a right for your opinion and I understand the chances of a age gap relationship making it but we do get along great and have lots in common I wish you luck on any of your life issues.

sorry if my intitial post was harsh. i was always attracted to older guys when younger. i fell in love with a guy alot older than me when i was 19 and thought i was the luckiest girl alive. By the time i was 23 i realised i was living with a miserable boring old man who was set in his ways and who i had very little in common. The thought of a 29 year age gap freaked me out! At the end of the day, each to their own. Selfish as it sounds, I love life and have far too much energy to be tied down baking cakes and nursing an old man. I do wish you luck and hope he is everything you wish for.

onthescrapheap - you have no right to tell her she is wrong! I see that you are in the same age range as the man in this relationship, and your user name makes me think that you have confidence issues. Maybe you are uncomfortable because a young woman is taking a man from your age group? maybe you are unable to get a man because they all want younger women? These are your problems - stop trying to make them her problems!

Thank you john03063 im glad that someone else supports us! Good luck with everything in your life:)

john03063, i already explained to R3DN3KGAL the reason for my reaction, i dont need analysing from you thanks very much!

oh and dont kid yourself. few men remain attractive over 40. By that time they are usually fat, bald, grey and with erectile dysfunction. Beats me why a young beautiful intelligent woman would want to be with someone old enough to be their father when there are plenty of young studs around! But like i said before, their choice

I noticed you mentioned you would never date anyone 75 since you are 45...and then you said there are plenty of young studs around. So would you consider dating younger? Just out of curiosity? Maybe not twenties but early-mid thirties? Just bein nosey and trying to get a feel of everyone on this post.

i certainly would not consider dating anyone young enough to be my son. 10 years younger or older than me would be the absolute maximum limit. i do have younger men attracted to me all the time, but i'm not interested. A friend, of mine who is single and same age as me is always pulling guys in their early 20's. i consider this just as wrong as a 45 year old guy hitting on a 21 year old girl. I would like ask R3DN3KGAL if she had problems finding men her own age or they just aren't attracted to her? I dont mean this to sound cruel, but what i have noticed in the age gap relationships that do last, the female has always been a social misfit, a bit frumpy, looks and acts older than her years and has difficulty relating to her peers.

I accept that you don't like dating someone who's very young or very old. It is your preferences. But it is not wrong for a young girl to date an older man. When a young girl date an older guy, it is not because she didn't find someone her own age. Both the couple just clicked! They like each other. They are attracted to each other and it is not wrong to date someone who's young. This kind of relationship is just like any other relationship, the only thing it has is the age gap and its not noticeable for the couple.

i hear what your saying, its just the attraction bit i dont understand. sure older men are always going to be attracted to younger women, but i just dont get a young girl fancying an old man! In my opinion, its more like an incestious father daughter relationship than anything healthy

Its not an attraction relationship. Both couple develop feelings to each other. Like in this story R3ND3kGAL loves her partner. Me for example i have the same age gap with my man, he loves me and I love him. He's the best person I've ever known. I like older men cause i like their mentality. Wisdom, settled and they know how to treat a girl. They had a lot of experiences before. I talked to guys my age and they didnt really appeal to me. most guys my age are not mature. So it is a real and healthy relationship. I said before it is like any other relationship but people can see that.

not attraction? how can you have a relationship with someone your not attracted to? how foolish you are, what a waste of life!

I think you are just trying to pick up any word I say, and make me look like a fool. Of course there is an attraction in the relationship. I missed the word "just" in this sentence "its not attraction" in my previous comment.

if you want to throw away your young lives for old men, then good luck! You obviously have no ambition or aspirations to make anything of yourselves other than to be a wife! And have you thought about having children? Most of these men have had kids already who are grown up, to have another child in their 50's is plain selfish! Plus there is a high risk of autism, schizoprenia and other mental disorders in children of older fathers.

It is so true! I'm happy you found happiness and the person you believe that your meant to be with. I believe that me and him are meant to be together. People say that we couldn't possibly have anything in common but we do a lot actually. Good luck with your relationship!
