    I was reading a thread in PI about "age gap" and wondered what the average age gap is? (here on boards anyway ;))

    My husband is 2 yrs older than me, but a girl i work with
    is married to a man 18 years older than her.
    She is 38 and around 20 yrs married. One of the happiest couples i know.

    I actually tried to reply to that topic in PI, but couldn´t get past security... I´m not a frequent user.

    My partner is twelve years older than I am.

    He is 3 year 5 months older than me... That 5 months where I am 4 years younger is very important...:D

    I was 15 when I first met him.

    He's 1 year and 9 months older than me. I'm 24 and he turns 26 next month. I think it's just right!

    I'm 24 and he's 27. My age makes him feel a bit better about himself...he can still get the young ones.

    I'm a year and 4 months older than him, he's 25, I'm 26. First guy I've gone out with that's younger than me. Not by much but I'm used to always going out with someone at least 3 years older than me. Doesn't make any difference though, I'm more immature than him!

    I'm 21,he's 23

    I used to go to college with a girl who was 24 and her bf was 35..bad thing was that she seemed to have a bit of a screw loose in the head or had something a little off about her and she had the mind of a 16 year old... they didn't stay together too long

    She's 2years 4months older than me. She lies my age up so much to minimise the gap that I got confused about what age I actually was for a while! I love winding her up from June to September when the gap is 3years!

    its only 2 years - try a 5 year age difference, him and his mates talking about their year out in Australia and asking if i have been, you want to see their face drop when i said "yeah, 8 years ago"!!!!!!!!!!!

    Yeah I don't like it either and it's stupid, it's only a year...it makes no difference whatsoever but I'd just prefer if he was older. But if that's the only thing I don't like about him I'll take it! :)
