    11 years. I'm 22, H is 33. I read somewhere that in relationships with age gaps the older partner takes on the parent role and the younger partner the child role. It's the complete opposite in our relationship; I once went into Toys 'r' Us with him - never again.

    3 and a half years. I'm 27, he's 31. Don't feel the age gap (not that it's big) at all.

    There's exactly 2 years between me and my OH (we have the same birthday!)

    My Grandad was 20 years older than my Nan, and they had a very long and happy marriage! ? x

    OH was 28 on 11th Sept and I was 28 on 17th Sept.

    My first relationship where there wasn't an age gap of a few years.

    I'm 22 and he's 24. I turn 23 in February and he turns 25 in May so that means there's 21 months between us? Is that right?

    There's almost exactly 7 years between us. I'll be 26 on 1st January and he'll be 33 on the 5th.

    No problem with the gap now, but when we met I was 17 and he was 24. I had to scrape my poor mum off the roof.

    (Oh, and I thought he was ANCIENT at 24! Lol!)

    I'm 26 and OH is 31. He'll be 32 when we get married. We both forget the difference though. Unless he's being mean to me so I have to point out his age! It's a good weapon to have on my side!

    I'm 32, 33 in March, and my yummy htb is 56..... 57 in August.... so 23 years between us.....

    Age is definitely a number, and nearly 7 years on, one 4year old little boy later, we are just as our first date....

    Oh and of course getting married in June..... ?
