Are we the only May-December couple on here? Be honest, lol

So, I was looking at the birthday thread and realized that my FI and I are the only May-December romance!!! Is this possible?? I am 25 and he is 39....I know it is not Anna Nicole May-December but everyone else is like 4 years apart max. Are there any other May-Decembers out there?

Me and my DH! I'm 27, he's 48!!! 21 year difference!

But honestly, I never ever notice an age difference, and when I meet people he grew up with, I see those people as so old...but they're his age! Does that make any sense?

He is truly my soulmate

A very close friend of mine is 40 and her husband is 55...they married when she was 21 and he 36. They are the most in love couple I've ever met, even after all these years...it's great to see that age doesn't matter, especially when you have love and respect for each other.

We are 8 (almost nine) years apart - and he is my best friend in the whole. I love listening to the radio or watching old sitcoms, only to reminisce about where we were in our life way back when - ha ha

Can't say that for DH and me! We were born on the same day of the same year (10 hours apart but both on LI)!

Seriously though, my parents were 17 years apart and DH's are 18 years apart. DH's father had him when he was 50 and my BIL when he was 51!

It was never hard...there never seemed like an age difference, there still doesn't.

He's never been married, has no children..those are the things that usually are associated with marrying someone who is significantly older. Maybe that's one of the reasons why there seems to be no difference. He spent so much of his life studying Veternary medicine, working insane hours, specializing in his field...etc, that's one major reason why he never married. He wants all the things I do, a house full of children!

We are just so alike and get along so well and are so in love...we've been together for 5 years, and it gets better and better as time goes by.

I'm 27 and my husband is turning 38, so we are just under 11 years apart in age. Neither one of us even thinks about it, it really is just a number!

Re: Are we the only May-December couple on here? Be honest, lol

I really dont notice the age difference b/c he acts 20! I have the same issue with his friends though, they all seem so old!

I think that is a very good omen! My parents were born on the same day & year. And almost 30 years later they have the happiest of marriages!

Re: Are we the only May-December couple on here? Be honest, lol

my best friend (the pregmant BM I had) is 11 years younger than her DH, he's 39 and she is 28 and they just had their 2nd child!!! They are so perfect for each other and I couldn't ask for better friends!

Re: Are we the only May-December couple on here? Be honest, lol

I have seen SO many relationships work where there is a big age gap between the couple, so its really not very unusual in this day and age.

My grandparents were 12 years apart, my parents 8 .. and both had 50+ and 40+ years of marriage, respectively!

I am older than my FH by 4 years, and I hardly ever think about it .. we are totally on the same page when it comes to our beliefs, etc. As the saying goes, age is ONLY a number. I know 50 year old men or women who act 25 (in a good way) and vice versa.

When you find your 'soulmate' , age just doesn't factor into it any longer

Re: Are we the only May-December couple on here? Be honest, lol

LOL...same here. I am 5 years older than DH. Sometimes there seems like an age difference, other times no.

Re: Are we the only May-December couple on here? Be honest, lol

I am happy to see other craddle robbers out there, besides my FI of course, lol. I feel much better because I know how it sounds weird when people find out our age difference. He is just a big kid!!
