My wife is 4 years older than I am.  It's never been an issue.

My answer would be no. I'm 5 1/2 years older than my wife but she still kepps me in line.

When it comes to relationships it has nothing to do with age....... it's all about finding the right person fro YOU. The one that can live with your shortcomings, your odd sense of humor, or whatever other quirks you may have. Likewise you have to enjoy their quirks too.

The real secret, I believe, is that most people over think the thing. Just be yourself, meet a lot of different types of women, and let things happen.

Seems to work fine for Demi Moore and Ashton Kushner..just can't believe Bruce Willis hasn't kicked his ass yet!!

Seriously people can't help when they are born so as long as your over 18 I don't see a major problem with it.

To answer your first question...Yes they are acceptable as long as you accept it, what does it matter. Age is nothing but a number. As long as it's the right person. You gotta be able to communicate, have enough in common to be able to share experiences and accept each other...warts and all.

An age gap of ten years to a young man like yourself (19) seems huge.  When you're 39-49-59, not so much.  My partner is eight years younger.  It's really all about the people having the relationship.  There are no hard and fast rules.

my girlfriend is 29 and i couldnt be happier. At first the age thing bothered me, but your perspective on it changes when you have strong feelings for someone

My wife is 10 years younger, no problem at all

[jamesh75]

I think it's more about maturity than age.  As long as you are both happy, then it shouldn't matter to anyone else.

"May December" relationships have been the subject of literature forever and it's modeled after life--think Charlie Chaplin.

Tomorow I am going on a second date with someone who is acting with me in a play (Merry Wives of Windsor by Shakespeare). My date is a honest, sincere and romantic person and very attratcive. The only issue is that I am 20 and my date is 45, but because of the connection that we have we feel we owe it to ourselves to give it a shot. Being a cook, I will prepare us a romantic dinner tomorow and then later a movie.

My grandparents were 18 years apart and couldn't have had a better marriage ...   If it feels right, go for it.
