Is it ok to marry a girl who is 5 years older than you?
It is perfectly fine as long as BOTH of you are aware of the facts and possible problems that might arise.First you need to be aware that women and men have a different biological clocks ticking. When you are around 25 and she is around 30 you might think that you are too young to start a family. You would rather wait 5–10 years until your career is more stable.This is ok for a man. But if your wife is 5 years older than you, she will be 30 and may not have another 5–10 years to have your children (plural). This scenario is quite common and many times it continues like this.Once the couple is ready to start a family (her 35 or older) it may not work as expected. Maybe reproduction clinics can help, maybe not.In the end it is often the man who then looks for a younger woman to have his children while his original wife is left childless and often quite unhappy.On the other hand if you are 25 and see yourself as a grown up man who is ready to start a family now, marriage with a 30 year old woman who may also be more than ready to start a family might be the right thing.The second problem I have seen in such marriages comes from the different way men and women age.You as a man (in our example 25) may not have reached your peak value in the sexual market place. As your career gains momentum it may very well be, that with 30–35 you will have even better options with the ladies than you have today.Your wife on the other hand (in our example 30) has her 10 best years behind her. Not only her fertility but also her looks are not going to last forever.If she has good genes and takes good care of her body she may have another 10 years or even 15 years to maintain her good looks.You on the other hand might still find the same 25–30 year old women attractive 30 years from now. And they might be interested in you as well.A divorce in favor of a new and younger woman is much more likely if the wife is older than her husband.As long as these two items are well understood by BOTH OF YOU the marriage can be happy and longlasting nevertheless.
I have a crush on someone 5 years older than me?
I have a crush on one of my coworkers. He is 21 and I am 16. It sucks because he's five years older than me. He lives in an apartment with his roomates and I still live with my parents, and am still in high school. I am almost certain we both find each other attractive. We have a lot of things in common too. What should i do? I know it's legal to date him because I am 16, but I don't know if he'd go for it because of our age difference. If i was graduated, i know that dating someone 5 years older wouldnt be a big deal. What really sucks is that I don't find anyone my age attractive. Most of the boys my age are immature jerks. My crush/coworker is basically the only guy I've ever met who is my "type."
Dealing with a stepmom who is only two years older than me?
My mom died just over a year ago and my dad has remarried this girl who is only 19. He's 38. I'm 16, and will be 17 late summer and so still living at home. He is gone a lot of the week for work and so he wants her to be like this parental figure. He wants me to call her mom, not her first name and do what she says. We keep clashing because she doesn't think I show her the respect she wants and I think she's coming down heavy on me given there's hardly anything in age between us. It just feels horrible at home now and more and more I feel like I am being made to look the villain and my Dad is taking her side more when he's at home. What can I do?
Is it okay to date someone 6 years older than you?
My wife is 7 years younger than me. I'm 21 and she's 14.Just kidding, I'm 34 and she's 27, but that does make a different, doesn't it? We were 25 and 32 when we met, I think. No one ever gave me a hard time about it, except my sister-in-law, but I think she had a chip on her shoulder about guys dating someone younger, since she was nearly 30 when she married my brother. She had given up on getting married and had started collecting dogs. She also tried to get brownie points with her boss by trying to hook me up with her boss' 19 year old sister. I turned her down, but not because of her age. I did talk to a few 19 year olds when I started dating again after I got divorced at 31, but I never got interested in them. It's wasn't necessarily because they were 19 years old, but they all just weren't that interesting to me. Maybe because they weren't as mature, I don't know. There is something to be said about being mature enough to get married.The age/2 + 7 rule is a good rule of thumb for compatibility. Although, in my opinion, adults can do whatever they want together. I wouldn't want either of my kids to date a 50 year old when they are 18 or 21, but it's their decision, not mine. There are a lot of judgments that people make about people in unconventional relationships. Whether or not they are true, I don't know. Everyone is different. I suppose there are genuine, healthy relationships and unhealthy ones between people of great age differences. Maybe the likelihood of being in an unhealthy relationship gets greater as the age difference grows. I don't know. I guess it's up to individuals to decide for themselves.
Can i have a crush on a guy thats 5 years older than me?
i have a HUGE crush on a guy but the problem is he's 5 years older than me and i really like him and i think he likes me too i was talking with my friend and she says i should listen to my heart and my hearts telling me that i should go for him WHAT SHOULD I DO?!
My girlfriend is 5 years older than me. It's possible to love?
Yes of course it is, often times age doesn't matter when in love and there are so many ppl in that situation with even more yrs age difference. Usually girls/women mature sooner than men but if you are mature enough for her and she doesn't outgrow you then it works.Overall, Love knows no boundries.....
My boyfriend is 5 years older than me is that totaly fine or is it bad?
well my parents are 5 years apart, my wife and i are 2 years apart her being older, it doesnt really matter what the ages are but most parents dont like it because of the possibility of he using you but no its not really normal but its not bad either, more and more ppl are dating like that, but FYI if you are in texas, your parents can mess up his future by pressing charges on him because in texas there is a law that most you can date is someone 2 years older or younger than you, if more than 2 years the older one can have charges pressed on them and they would end up being a sex offender and all that nonsense but to answer your question, its all good
I slept with a woman 30 years younger than me. She's even younger than my daughter. Is this immoral?
I feel like I can have some pretty good input seeing as how my husband is 23 years older than me. But first let me give you some backgroundWhen I first met my hubby I was a hairdresser and he used to come in and have me cut his hair. I actually thought he was younger than he was, I was shocked when he told me he was 42. I was 19 at the time and thought, “well that's that, he's too old for me.”After a few more haircuts and him being stuck in my head no matter what I did I decided “fuck it I'll give him my number and see what happens.”We ended up just clicking and being inseparable after one time of hanging out at his house, yes we did have sex for those of you wondering and it was spectacular!neither one of us wanted a relationship. We both had our hearts broken and at one point or another and said our relationship was just a casual one. It broke my heart but I understood his reasons. Age wise I'm right in between his kids so you can imagine the anxiety that created for him.After seeing each other for a while we realised just how compatible we actually are and how well we balanced each other out. he told his kids and family about me and lucky me THEY WERE MORE THAN ACCEPTING. THEY JUST WANTED HIM TO BE HAPPY.Then came time to tell my mother, that didn't go over so smooth. In fact I ended up breaking things off for a couple of weeks because of my mother's reaction ( she loves my hubby now though) I was so broken, I immediately knew I made the wrong decision and ended up telling him that I missed him and just wanted to be happy so we got back together and it's been one great adventure and learning experience.So my answer to your question : NO IT IS NOT WRONG. IF YOU GENUINELY ENJOY EACH OTHER'S COMPANY KEEP ON KEEPING ON! You never know what you could be passing up!
