Okay so I'm a young 38 (very active) and my boyfriend is 24 (active as well) honestly, what are the chances of things working out long-term with such a huge age difference? We are exactly the same - we joke about it often, and sometimes if I have to be honest he is more mature than me. I have 2 kids - which he loves and my kids love him too... He doesn't want to have any kids - and our views are similar...I just don't know if Im kidding myself - I mean he'll be 30 and I will be 44

Danzaban agony auntHey I'm in a relationship with a 20 year old girl and I'm 35. We're only 6 months in and I'm a bit nervous about it working because my feelings are very strong for her. The more I doubt it then I reckon the more likely it's not guna work. People have given me some very good advice on this webpage and have given me a lot to think about and I've now decided to just go with the flow, if you're both fit and healthy like we are you can still share and enjoy doing things together as if you were the same age. Age really is irrelevant, just have good times together, enjoy it and let it happen.

QuirkLady agony auntWorked out pretty well for Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher, so I don't think it's impossible. As long as you both love each other and are committed to working things out everything should be aces.

Good luck.

MonicaC agony auntIf you love him and he loves you, then age shouldn't be a problem now or in the long run. I think that what is important is that the two of you share similar values and desires and that you want the same things out of life.

The essence of a lasting relationship is based on a kind of alchemy that exists between two people. Age is not relevant.
