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?

The problem is not now. The problem is when he is a weak old man at the sunset of his life and you are still going. Women live longer than men anyways, and the gap adds to that. That’s what my mother told me 20 years ago when my sister got into an age gap relation and I asked what the big deal was. She was right. Now he is in a nursing home, and she is still kicking. Not only is she alone, she has to provide for a man who no longer recognizes her.

@Cyclist I hadn’t thought about this, but it is unfortunately a very good point

@Cyclist If it was good while it lasted, I think she is a winner.
