This is more of a general topic of discussion I thought might be interesting than a real personal issue. How do you all feel about age gaps in relationships? How much is too much? Does it matter? Can large gaps be overcome?
Several years ago, I dated a man who was 15 years my senior, almost to the day. I was 21 and he was 36.
Although the relationship was incredibly intense and wonderful at the time, it ended with just as much intensity and was not pretty. We were not friends for quite awhile.
Today, we are close friends again. In fact, I just got home from having a 2 1/2 hour dinner with him and I had an amazing time. Although I've been in a few long-term relationships, and this one obviously was not long term, I believe I fell in love with him, and I still do love him. If I thought there was any hope for a relationship, I'd pursue it.. but there isnt. Which makes me sad, but it's just the reality.
Just my background.. not really a question like I said.
