When you're together does it feel like you're 17 years apart?\n\nThe older you are, the smaller that gap seems. There is big difference between a 17 yo dating a 34 yo and a 32 yo dating a 49 yo. \n\nAre you at very different places in your lives right now, mostly due to age? (Ex.: college student vs. granparent)\n\nAge is just a number, if you both seem to be on the same level emotionally, and are truly in love, more power to you.

It really depends on the nature of the question. 1) Do you really love him and feel that you two will be able to grow old together? 2)What are your future plans? (ie: School, travelling, Career advancement? Marriage is a big step, its a promise and lifetime (supposed to be) committment.  Once you marry you can't think of yourself anymore you are committed to another person and that pretty much hinders your ability to do things you normally would do single (party with friends, hang out etc etc).  I'm not saying all marraiges are going to stop this from happening.  Just think about it more wisely and ask yourself are you at the point where you can settle down.

Age should not matter in my opinion...Just as long as you truly love each other,you should push everything aside and know that you're meant to be.

The numbers of years difference would not be so bad if you were 33 and he was 48. At 18 you are far too young to be involved with a man that age.... He's lived and you haven't. You have dreams and he should already achieving his... Too many differences to over come. yeah he might treat you very well...but you will come to resent him eventualy and angry for having wasted your time.

Maybe he is having problems preforming and he is insecure about it. I am 20 and my husband is 34 and we have been together for 2 years. Sometimes you still love each other and you still find one another attractive, but you just need a break from the sexual part of the relationship. Are you feeling pressure from the idea of marriage? Are you both stressed out in any way more than usual, maybe from planning a wedding? It all factors in, as long as you still love each other, it's OK. Sex isn't everything.

Who are these middle aged men are they married?  Maybe they didn't marry the right one.  Me and my husband have been married 15 years(not all easy). I love him more today than I did 17 years ago when I met him and our sex is greater than ever.  If you love each other, are committed to each other and can share your thoughts and emotions GO FOR IT!!!\n\nGood Luck:-)

I am 27, and my husband is 40.  When we started dating I was 20 and he was 33.  While there's not anything wrong with it, my experience has been that we are at very different points in our lives.  For example, I am just getting settled in a career job (teaching), and thinking about starting a family; he is not sure about a family at this point (looking ahead to retirement) and wants to start travelling the world.  So it can be difficult in a lot of ways.  But that being said, he's a wonderful guy and I wouldn't trade our relationship for anything!\n\n(Huh, apparently judging by the comments above, we must be some sort of sickos....who knew?)

With so many failed marriages out there it's hard to say. Maturity plays a major part, here. When you find someone who knows what they want & are willing to sacrifice for it ( the marriage ) that may be the one to marry regardless of age.

It will work if u both want it to. Marriage takes a lot of work and patience. So work hard and keep things spicy and new.

Dude, I am 16 yrs older than my husband and we have a very healthy relationship. He keeps me happy and I allso keep him happy. Of course there are some differences,but communication is the best way to keep your relationship Strong and fulfilled.

Well it sounds like marriage won't change your life drastically as far as finances and living arrangements, which certainly works in your favor!\n\nMy wife and I have been dating since she was 15 and I was 17. We got married when she turned 18, which was eight years ago, and we've gotten along just great. I couldn't be happier and I really hope that she'll say the same lol!\n\nBut it entirely depends on how certain you are that you have no interest in dating anyone else ever. Some people are ready to commit at a young age, some need a few extra years of freedom to be sure that they know what they want. Our situation may not be what's best for you or for the next person to answer this question.\n\nEither way, you sound happy, that's what matters, right? Good luck to both of you!

If it was like 40 years difference that probably wouldn't work. I don't see any problems with a 30 year old and a 20 year old. It could turn out to be a beautiful relationship.

Sometimes it's true that women's maturity level progresses faster than younger men's. In your case you might be feeling a bit uncertain because that statement does not apply to you. \nRemember: Age is only a number. So is salary.\n\nIf you can love him no matter what and want to work things out with him, no matter what, then he is the one for you.\n\nEveryone has differences in taste, his is 80's music and an early bed time.. so what? At least he isn't a drug addict and abuser. Take it for what it's worth... if he treats you well, is financially stable and willing to work on your relationship, you've got a winner!\n\nGood luck, and look out for yourself--

There is NO problem. The ONLY problem there would be is if you and your hubby had the problem.As long as you both are fine with it then all is well. It's your guy's life not there's. I'm 31 and my hubby is 38 and we make an awsome couple. As long as you both are cool with it then it's NO ONE Else's business...

My husband and I have been married for 29 and one half years.  Some years were great some not so great.  But we hung in there and are more in love today than when we married.  Best wishes.
