A male United Kingdom age 41-50, anonymous writes:

I never saw it as a problem but everytime we have an argument my gf says it is because or ages are different and we are in a different stage in our life as i am looking to settle down whereas she is not yet ready to settle down, we have been together for 5 years and I thought that our age difference may have been a bit of an issue at the start but now I think we have grown together but alas we are still not living together or any closer to getting married or even engaged.

23 and 28 shouldnt be that far away in the stages in our life as we have been together for a while we should be at the same stages in our life shouldnt we?

A reader, anonymous, writes (31 October 2008):

If she is 23 and you are 28, strikes me she has been with you since 18 and chances are she has still got that crazy time yet to live. When 18 it feels like you are grown up and great to get into a relationship, I was in one from 18 - 24 and I then just realised there was life to live for a bit, for myself. I wanted to rebel and I did! had some great times with my friends, got into lots of mischief and had a whale of a time. I am now 33 and living happily with my boyfriend, he is 35. We have both had our blow out times so do not feel we have missed out on a thing and are really happy. If anthing I would say, bizarrely, not because of the 5 years age difference, but more because of how young she was when you got together that it does make a difference ... even though you are both older.

Sorry that may not be the answer you want.

Good luck
