Writer's Block: Love is timeless

Well, as my usual answer would be "it depends". I think that the age of the individuals is important because someone who is 18 and just starting out in their life, finding their first "real" job and asserting their independence with a 12 year age gap (30 year old partner) is very different than a 40 year old with someone who is 52 and are both in a similar stage in their life.

That being said, in the spirit of transparency, I will admit that my partner and I have an 11 year age gap. I'm probably a very mature 41 year old and my partner is a very young at heart 52 year old.

I know a married couple (they were married last year) that is separated by like 20 or 25 years. She's in her mid to late 20's and he's in his late 40's to early 50's. If they are happy its fine with me but I "do" think it's a bit odd she has a stepson the same age as her.

yep that would be strange for me too. My partner has kids but they are 10 years younger than me...enough so I don't feel so weird.
