[LindyLouWho]

I also posted this in the Marriage forum to hear what they have to say too.

Are you younger or older than your mate? By how much?He's 21
Does it affect anything in your relationship?Fmily issues but we deal with it
Did it used to?
Do you ever think about it?No,I love him so much..
Do both of you "act your ages"?
Was age ever of any significance when you started your relationship?

YES! I didn't want anything to do with him. I ran.I prayed,I was not going to be the older chick but we have everything in common other than born different years

I'm older by less than 3 years.

It doesn't affect our relationship in any way, we both want and plan the same things, we both know that God bought us together so age isn't a factor in our relationship.

The age gap has never been an issue.

I don't think about it at all.

I think we're both at the same maturity level, I wouldn't say he's immature or because I'm slightly older I'm more wiser and so behave any differently.

Age has never been of any significance in our relationship.

***I'm 3.5 years younger than my boyfriend
Does it affect anything in your relationship?
***nah
Did it used to?
***nope
Do you ever think about it?
***no, but I do like to tease him about the fact that he'll be 30 next year
Do both of you "act your ages"?
***He certainly doesn't, half the time. I sometimes act older, so it evens out
Was age ever of any significance when you started your relationship?
***No, not really. We were both kind of in the same place when we met. He'd only been out of law school for a year, I was just finishing grad school. Both of us are only starting out in the "real world" and I think point in life makes a big difference, although that often correlates with age.

Are you younger or older than your mate? By how much? Around 8 months I think, I'm yougner that is.
Does it affect anything in your relationship? Absolutely nothing, except his 21st is before mine, so he gets to do all I've done to him, to me.
Did it used to? Never really, except I was in school whilst he was working (but that happened anyway since he left school early, and we didn't ACTUALLY date whilst I was in school anyway.)
Do you ever think about it? Nup
Do both of you "act your ages"? Sometimes I think I don't, and sometimes he acts older (or younger depending on the day) but usually yes.
Was age ever of any significance when you started your relationship? Yes it was... I specifically wanted someone closeish to my age, but I didn't choose him because of his age.
