No. Seven years older.
Yes.
No. Only to my mother, who was properly scandelized that I was dating someone the same age as my baby brother
My wife is a year and three months older than me. I wasn’t sure how much older she was when we met (just that she was 28 and I was 27) and it didn’t matter when I found out. It’s a bit weird though now that she’s 30 and I’m 28. I tease her about her age quite a bit now.
Mrs Phoenix is 15 years younger than me - we were 27 and 42 when we started dating two years ago. We did know quickly about the age difference but it hardly mattered at all in the first few months and has not mattered whatsoever since then. Yes, I realise that if we decide to have children (and that’s still a big if) she/he/they will have a relatively old father. So be it. On the bright side, I have already made a career, have an excellent salary and can support my wife (and maybe kids) leaving her free to pursue her artists career without financial worries.
I married someone younger than my baby brother! Of course, the difference between us is less than 3 years. I knew he was younger before we started dating. For myself, attitude and responsibility are more significant than age.
I am a little over seven years older than imthjckaz.
We knew the age difference before we started dating.
He says it doesn’t matter. I doesn’t matter to me either.
I’m 10 years older then Montfort
and I’m fine with that
and so is he.
And I realy don’t get this,
does it matter?
Why should it,
if you love someone,
age doesn’t count,
not in my opinion anyway.
I’m almost a year older than my SO. I knew this when we started dating and it really didn’t bother me. He’s only the 3rd guy I’ve ever dated that’s been younger than me. I’ve always preferred older men… mostly because I had a hard time relating to the immature guys in high school and I had two bad experiences with the two younger guys I dated in high school. One of them was just waaaay too immature for me. We only dated for about three months before I broke up with him. I stuck to college guys after that. They weren’t very mature but at least they were older than me.
My ex-wife was exactly 24 days older than me. The incredible coincidence is that my Mom is exactly 24 days older than my Dad. :eek:
When I had fallen in love with Ex-Wife at first sight, at first I thought she was years older than me. She was living with another guy at the time. After nearly 2 years had passed, a friend told me she was practically the same age as me. Amazed at this, it made me fall even harder in love with her. She then began to break up with the guy, and I made my move.
Somehow learning that she was close to me in age affected me powerfully and increased my affection to feel that I just had to HAD TO get this woman. You know?
The four SO’s I’ve had in the last 6 years have all been older than me, ranging from 7 months older (my fiancee) to 11 years older (which violated the half-plus-seven rule). I knew about the age difference in every case.
The only time there was a problem was with the 11-year difference. She was starting to get frantic about having children while I was nowhere near ready to. It led to some ugly scenes and a fast breakup.
Fourteen and a half years here. Met one month before my 23rd birthday, were married two months later. It’ll be five years this Halloween. 
Yup, we knew. In fact, I met his daughter the night we met, so there was pretty much no getting around it. The age factor has never been an issue- it’s creepy how much alike we are, and I’m consistently coming up with new and amusing responses to “Is your father home?” 
We have bigger problems with the geographical differences- he’s a born-n-bred Southerner, I’m a Yankee- than the age stuff. But I’ve always preferred older men*, so it was inevitable to me that I’d marry someone outside my age bracket.
The 'rents took it fine (they had bigger concerns at the time- like the fact that their daughter had been married for almost two months and had neglected to tell them), and at the recent family reunion everyone was on their best behavior. I was a little freaked about what would happen when we got together with everyone, since he’s older than all my siblings, but it went well.
We take it in stride, pretty much. Our stock insults: “Gee honey, was that before I was born?” followed quickly by “Shut up and get in your car seat.” 
[sub]* In fact, when I began dating at the ripe old age of 13, I made a list of things I’d never do… you know, never let a guy hit me, never give a cheater a second chance, etc. I included ‘never date anyone younger than me.’ The only times I’ve ever broken that rule, the relationships ended horribly.[/sub]

I’m not age prejudiced–what matters is what is in their heart & if a woman likes me, what should her age matter?
I’ve dated men as old as my father and men barely over jail bait age. My exhusband was only 2 years older.
There are a more things that matter than age.
