Do age gap relations work?

In a relation with a man 11 year older than me. Why everyone keeps warning me about having such an age gap. We haven't faced any issue in last 4 years among us.

Do most age gap relationships don't work?

@Lostlostlost unless it is because your partner died, and I am truly sorry if that is the case, then ultimately it didn’t work.

@Cyclist Half of all first marriages in the US end in divorce anyway.

So, what about the famous statistic that half of all marriages end in divorce? That’s true, but only when it comes to first marriages, half of which are dissolved. Second and third marriages actually fail at a far higher rate.[2] [/quote]

So a lot ultimately don't work even when there isn't a large age gap.
