I’m curious to know (and super nosey!) what’s everyone’s age gaps in their relationships?
I seem to be searching the internet for an age gap as large as mine 😂🙈
Please share! What’s your age gap? How did you meet? How long have you been together?!

Our age gap is 26 years. We met at work. We’ve been together for nearly 2 years.

3.5 years. We were introduced by a mutual friend who thought we'd get on like a house on fire. ☺ Said friend walked me down the aisle 7 years later.

@bringingdownthebs I'm curious about your story - were you just colleagues on the same team, or did one of you report to the other?

aww that sounds lovely! What an amazing friend!!

neither - we work in separate teams but regularly end up in the same places (like operating theatres!) trying not to give too much identifying info away! Haha!!

aww that’s lovely! I’ve come from a very unhappy marriage so I feel incredibly lucky to have a man so wonderful in my life! Even if he does get mistaken for my dad on a regular basis 🙄🙄

8 years. I'm 38 husband is 46, so not much of a difference but I like having a slightly older husband. Past relationships have been my age or younger than me and i found it quite hard work.

Some people are funny about age gap relationship....who cares as long as you are happy

Our age gap is 10 years, he's the older one. Been together 15 years now.

Do you have any future-proofing plans yet, such as insurance, wills, etc? And what to consider when he has retired and you're still at the peak of your own career.

My OH is retiring next year and I'll be in full time work still. He is going to be taking on another job to see him through to state pension age in 12 years time.

11 year between us.
8 year together and 5 years married. I'm 30 and he's 41 but 18 at heart and just a big kid. He's my absolute best friend and the age difference has never made any difference.

My husband is 3.5 years younger than me. When I did my family tree, there was one branch where all the women had younger husbands. Only downside is that I get milestone birthdays first.

We’ve only just started discussing the future proofing plans as his divorce is taking ages and we’re unsure exactly how much he’ll be left with after the sale of his family home etc. I’ve said if we ever get married I’m happy to sign a prenup as I’m absolutely not in this for his money at all - hence us only just starting to discuss the future in terms of finances etc. We have a child together (he’s 5 months old) so our main priority is making sure everything is secure for him.
That being said… my partner has always said he’ll work until he’s 65 so he’s got another 10 years yet!
