Age Gap Between You And Your S.o.

Jasmine, on November 9, 2020 at 2:26 PM Posted in Family and Relationships 1 68
My fiance and I are 7 years apart but our birthdays are 2 days apart. I'm 31 and he's 24. It was weird for me because he's the same age as my younger brother but clearly I eventually got over it lol.



What's the age difference between you and S.O.?? Was it something you or your S.O. had to get used to??

    My fiancé is 3 years younger than me & he is the only person I have ever dated that’s been younger. We didn’t even realize there was an age gap between us for the longest time! We had casually known each other through mutual friends for several years and we had always assumed we were the same age LOL

    My husband is 1 year and 9 months younger than me so almost 2 years. Honestly it hasn't really been a big deal for us. Except sometimes he acts like man child hahaha, but that's just who he is, haha. 😂 💕

    My husband is three years older than me and our birthdays are three days apart. I honestly wouldn't dare a guy younger than me because guys generally take longer to mature.

    My fiancé is 8 years younger than me. I thought he was older ... he thought I was younger. When we discussed age a month or so in he didn’t believe me and I had to show him my ID 😂.

    FH is 19 years older than me. It was an issue for my parents at first, but they don't care anymore -- we've been together for 7 years and friends for 10, so they got used to it.

    My husband is technically 3 years younger than me, but from where our birthdays are on the calendar he tends to be 4 years younger most of the year. He’s younger than my sister and shares the same childhood memories as my youngest sister. It was a bit difficult for me at first to be dating someone younger, but he was so mature compared to all the other men I was with. Now it doesn’t phase us at all Smiley winking

    Oh wow. That's incredible. Was your age difference the only reason his parents were against it??

    LOL! That's exactly how it happened with FH. We started off friends and then it wasn't until later on we found out each other's age and I low key panicked lol. My mom basically told me to shut up and go for it Smiley xd

    That's great LOL! FH definitely acts like a man child too. My mom calls him that all the time. It's hilarious.

    Very true. I definitely wouldn't have minded someone older than me but I don't know what it is about my love life that just keeps getting me roped in with younger guys (all before knowing their age) and I'm like Smiley amazing but this one seems to work.

    Definitely nice sometimes to be a close in age. Especially for specific goals in life that you both have the same amount of time to achieve.

    We did the same thing! 😂 Like i figured he was young but closer to my age and he thought I was closer to his. I've literally had to pull out my ID to his friends cause they didn't believe me either. Definitely a compliment though!

    We met a week after his 19th birthday and one week before my 19th birthday! We’ll be together 7 years in March and we’re getting married May 29 2021! My parents are only 3 days apart which was always fun doing joint birthday parties with them and i hope to do that with our future family!
