Hmm.. Never really thought about this one.. Soooo..
Age gap (previous G/f you understand) 5 years, I was deffo the mature one in that relationship, age had nothing to do with maturinty. .. Herumph.
Previous g/f to that above and the gap was 8 years, I was again the mature one, she was stunningly beautiful and youthfull looking, we sat on different sides of the page on many “life” issues and eventually the “maturity outlook” on my side took hold and I ended it.
MrsBouy and I however are 10mths apart, she’s the younger. She’s the more mature in some ways (not all) I’m more the youthfull one (in a few ways) We do tend to have a clash every now and then where I think she’s trying to take over the “maturity rights”, but all in all it’s a healthy balance.
I can only look back and say 8 years is too much of a gap (IMHO) and I don’t think I’d date/marry someone older than me. I have been propositioned once by a very fine lady 9 years older than me, but I couldn’t bring myself to take it any further than “no, you’re lovely and all that but…”
Having no kids at my age sometimes aches my bones, but I think at our age MrsBouy and I are quite settled about it, though that subject did cause some “interesting” moments in our relationship.
I do look back on occasion and wonder about my first Love and whether we would have had children, I think the answer would have been yes..
Yikes.. I shouldn’t really say that should I..
