My first husband was 5 years older than me but I hated him. My second husband is 12 years younger than me and we've been married 29 years........ very happily. |

My Hubby is 5 years younger than me, I've always preferred younger men. He has never felt younger, though, and has always really looked after me. |

My aunt married a man 18 yrs older. Difference never mattered - until he retired. As aunt said he came home, sat in front of tv and waited to die. He was healthy, had always been very active. |

I have a toyboy (very proud of him I am too) :-D <3...but if you would have told me this years ago I would never have believed you, I really liked the older man but found they are very set in there ways and can become boring !!.... I know this is not everybodys thoughts but for me personally Older is not for me !! I need someone who can keep up with me and also put up with me :-D :-D :-D ;-) |

Our Sil is 11 years younger than our daughter. They are very happy and the age difference isn't that obvious She is a young 50,s plus and he is an old 40,s plus so they meet in the middle.. :-D :-D :-D |

My ex was 9 years older than me and in his late 50's he became 'old' very quickly and set in his ways. I try to be young at heart and flexible. We divorced! |

I think the fact that he was knocking on your door and not meeting her somewhere out of the way would speak volumes about his intentions. |

I'm like Hayley in that I'd be highly sceptical if a man over 20 came knocking at the door for my underage daughter.....however mature she may appear.... |

If the relationship works it works, but I think it depends on the 'maturity' of those involved rather than the age..... |

I don't see why a minor should be treated any better or worse on his/her 'dates' by a 25 year old than by one of the same age. It's all about trust and respect. |

I always thought I would not want to be in a relationship with a man who was younger than me,it just didn't seem right. |

Yes I mean a minor :-D |

I'm of the opinion that age doesn't matter except as Hayley says if one of the partners involved is a minor. |

I certainly would of had something to say if my daughter started seeing a man 10 yrs older or even 5 yrs when she was under 16 ...infact the bloke would of been set away with more that my boot in his backside. Yuk makes me skin crawl :-( |
