    My sister met her husband when she was 21 and he was 45.. they married when she was 23.

    He had two kids from his previous marriage, with only a few years between my sis and his eldest.

    They would have celebrated their 36th anniversary this year, she died a few weeks ago aged 59. He will be 84 later this year.

    He was the love of her life and she his.

    They proved everyone wrong:)

    I met my OH when I was 19 and he was 24, so the gap was a bit more noticeable as I was still a teenager, now I'm 24 and he's 28 and we got married on the 16th too :j:j:j

    its who you click with, age is nothing but a number as they say!

    My OH is almost 5 years older than me :) I'm 22, he's almost 27.

    I'm not really that bothered or interested in age gaps. When my mother was with my ex step father he was 20 years older than her.

    sorry zoetoes - but you say you split from ex a couple of years of years ago. Its nothing to do with you the age of his new girlfriend.......if you got yourself a nice toyboy would you appreciate HIM having a hissy fit?
    probably his 21 year old girlfriend is more mature than you - you do come across as rather childish.

    I was about to respond but thought nah.......
    If you're going to stalk me, while you're at it can you cut the grass, feed the dog & make sure I've got bread & milk in :D

    Ok I will respond nicely......yes I am childish, that's something I like about myself, it may even be what keeps me looking 10 years younger as according to tinks! :D
