Love hearing things like this - sometimes feel like I’m in the minority x24 year age gap here, 11 years together and one daughter between us.
And that's as much as I'll throw down
There was 17 and a half years between myself and my husband (I was 26 when we met). It wasn't something either of us was looking for at all, but just clicked straight away and that was it. He'd led a strange life, and needed a bit of stability, and I needed someone who would let me be me. The age gap didn't really come up. Only daft little things like he'd joined the army before I was born, made it seem real. He had a son, and we had a daughter.
I had him for 12 and half years until he died of cancer. It does mean that I'm a youngish widow, being 40 now, but there's never any guarantee about how long someone will live anyway if that's a worry for some people. Go for it if it feel right.

My husband is 8 years older than me. I knew him when I was 16 and he was 24 and although we fancied each other he said I was too young to date and too lovely to just shag 
we settled on being best friends for a while.
We eventually lost touch, fast forward a few years and we got back in contact and now we have been together for nearly 8 years.
He actually helped me leave my abusive relationship, in so many different ways! I had 2 very young children at the time. He offered and gave so much, but without the expectation that we would be together.
I fell in love with him one day when I was trying to change a lock on a door and couldn’t do it, I was proper ugly crying and he just walked over and fixed it, then gave me a hug. I was going through such an awful time and he was there for me
He can be a knob at times though haha

My parents have an 11 year age gap, they were 21 and 32 when they met. Have been together for 30 years!
I know someone who has a 22 year age difference with her fiance. In their photos they look more like father and daughter. Having said that, the age gap is one of the least concerning things about the relationship.

Interesting can you elaborate x
18 years between my husband and I, we met when I was 24. He looked about 35 at the time, I never actually asked his age and found out after we got married and have been married for 16 years now. We both wanted the same things In life, a family. Because of his job, he is surrounded by people of different ages so has always had a very diverse friends group. I have always been an old soul but also have friends of varying ages... so socialising and having things in common with each other’s friends has never been an issue.
We do however have very different parenting styles and whilst we don’t always see eye to eye, he is quite happy to let me take the lead. If you are planning on a family then talk about parenting, I think if the both of us weren’t so accommodating of each other, it could have caused trouble!

You only found out his age after you married him?! Did he not have birthdays before you married?

How old were you when you got together?First off, I’m not in the UK and come from a culture where the older generation
My partner is 12 years older than me. I’ve always been maturer for my age and that’s down to life and how quickly I’ve had to grow up compared to my peers. My ex was closer to my age but the immaturity and lack of desire to be independent from his parents really got to me. My current partner has no kids and had long term relationships but never came close to marriage which made things way easier of course. I’m not sure I’d have felt quite the same if he maybe had been engaged or married before. He’s definitely a young soul and im an old soul so we meet somewhere in the middle! We are in the process of buying a house together now and that’s literally the ONLY time the age gap has affected us because our mortgage term can’t be as long as maybe other people’s. At the start I definitely worried about others said but it doesn’t bother me at all now. I’m the happiest I’ve ever been!
I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost four years now. He’s 50 and I’m 26, so we have a 24 year age gap. It’s great for us! He gives me lots of love and security - emotionally and financially. We always have a great laugh and have common interests like music and history. If anyone judges, I just think they’re boring and move on with my life. 
Also, the sex!!! To do it with someone who actually knows what they’re doing, rather than trying to give me the Porn Star Experience is great. Men my own age have always been disappointing in comparison.

Completely agree about the sex!
My fiancé is 2 years older than me
I wouldn't consider that an age gap!
Oh no it’s not at all I was just saying
Any difference in age is an age gap

Then why are all the other posts about large age gaps?Any difference in age is an age gap

Because people with lesser age gaps haven’t posted?
