Age gap

My boyfriend and I have been together for 2 years and I am 9 months older. I was born August of 97 and he was born May of 98.

What is the age gap in y’all’s relationship?

My dad was 3 1/2 years older than my mom.

my experience in an age gap relationship 🤍
this question is truly soooo nuanced because everyone’s experience is different! personally i think the most important factor isn’t even how big the gap is, but how old both people are - like there’s a biiiig difference between a 15 year old dating a 25 year old and a 30 year old dating a 40 yea

I met him when I was 22 and he was 36. He seemed younger than he was — charming, confident, and offering security. I jumped in, excited by the rebellion of dating someone so much older, and married him at 25. On paper, everything is fine. We’re DINKs, financially stable, affectionate, and building

I met him at a bar over the weekend. He asked for my number, and then we met up the next day. Our age gap is too big but I love being around him. He’s mature, caring, mentally stable and sparkling in my eyes. But I’m afraid that our age gap will kill this relationship. So should I keep dating w
