I'm in a relationship with someone seven years older. I must now admt that it is too much. She is into early sixties and seventies genre and I am into later seventies and eighties. There is now a widening gap in our sex drive. None of these are overwhelming.
My wife was the same age as me. We shared a lot of interests in movies, food, and music. I do wish that things hadn't gone do badly. Being sexually abused as a child by her brother she repressed it. It drove her mad and she left us for several years. There was no going back.
Kristin was four years younger but it was a good match. We knew a lot of the same people and her kids were a bit younger than my son. She unfortunately died at fourty nine of ovarian cancer.
It depends - if he is 55 from the USA and she is 20 years younger from Australia; where their dollar is at 71 cents, then he might not want to date a woman that is broke all the time.
I think the older you both are the less it matters.. However I have heard that more than 20 years can bring a generational void that becaomes too difficult to bridge.馃樂

8-12 yrs is a good difference, women mature faster than men, so with that age gap both parties concerned should be close to the same page
