We hung out with some of FH's friends the other day and they were all talking about their HS reunions and the people they saw there. One of them asked me if I went to mine and I said 'well I plan on going in a few years.' Everyone knew I was younger than FH but not how much younger. We then realized that I graduated HS the same year FH's friend Brian had his first child..now they all call FH a cradle robber!
I'm 5 years younger than my FH...anyone else get teased about this??

Re: Anyone marrying an 'older' man?
Lol FH is 5 years older too but I never really considered him an 'older man' lol. When we started dating, I was 23 and he was 28 so we were still in the same age group.
My friend and her FH are also 5 years apart but they started dating when she was 18 and he was 23 so he def got teased for it.
The biggest age gap I've had was 10 years I was 21 and he was 31!!!
Just a few dates though
eta: FFIl is 5 years older than FMIL and FBIL is 5 years older than FSIL.
It seems to work for them!

FH is only 2 months older than me, but I totally don't think 5 years is a big difference at all! I actually think it's a desirable age difference!

Re: Anyone marrying an 'older' man?
Haha I never thought of him as an 'older' man either, it was just funny to hear his friends talk about it. But our age gap works for us, and I'm glad to see that it works for all of you guys too!

Re: Anyone marrying an 'older' man?
5 years isn't that much! I'm 4 years younger than my FH. But if you factor in maturity, I'm probably older.

i don't think 5 years is an 'older man' at all. my FH is 4 years older than me and we're still in the same age group. i usually think like 10+ is an older man

FH is 7 years older, but I went back to school and he has his career set up. It definitely feels like he's more ahead in life and guiding me. It's a good thing, I needed some guidance with love.

5 years is not a big difference at all. My FH is 4 years older but it has never been an issue.
