Im a 40 year old divorced mother of 2. Recently I have begun dating a very nice guy who just turned 32. We seem to have a real connection to each other and have alot of fun, our sex life is great. The only problem is alot of my friends seem to think our age difference is too big and think its kinda gross. Is this age gap we have really that much out of line?

spinnaker agony auntThe age gap is a matter of opinion. i would be more concerned with his ultimate intentions if I were you. Is he interested in a long term relationship WITH YOU or are there other motives?

It is a very big age gap if he wants to have his own children with you. Otherwise, no.

LazyGuy agony auntAge gaps are in my personal opinion not about the size of the age gap but the size of that gap of where people are in there lives.

If he was 14 and you where 20, the age gap would be smaller but I would still punch your lights out.

At 32 he should be an adult who has maybe not completely settled into his place in the world but is also no longer a confused kid searching.

If both are adults, the age itself no long matters. Just as long as the gap between where you both are and what you are moving to isn't to large.

For instance, he might still want kids while you might at your age be facing the moment yours will leaving home.

Different stages in life, it has nothing to do with age however.
