AM I????

[Gauge]

This has been mentioned in posts of days gone by. But for the benefit of newbies...

I married my husband of 8 years when I was 30 and he was 19-1/2.

My concern wasn't for the gap between us. It was that he was going to be in a new marriage at a time of life when I've experienced & observed people go through some of the most extreme changes in their wants/needs/personalities.

My concern was that I might end up with someone who, upon getting through that period of life, would find being married, or specifically being married to me didn't fit who they became during that period of life.

8 years later, I can say that there have been some struggles in relation to that. And still are, especially with me ending up with clinical depression in the middle of all of it. But that things have ended up in favor of the relationship, and things get stronger & better every day.

The differences ya'll mention above as far as cultural have had some impact, but that has more to do with personal interests than age difference. I grew up in libraries, art museums & with education at my disposal. My husband grew up a skater boi left to fend for himself most of the time.

What this does for us is gives us a lot to share with each other that we never experienced on our own. My mother wouldn't let me have a skateboard, but now I know the names associated with boarding, watch the X-Games on TV, and my heart skips a beat when I see Jon do the simplest of moves on a board. And I had the glee of being tour guide to Jon at the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Detroit Public Library, etc.

Jon helps me rediscover the fun things in life. And in return, I expose Jon to the culture he was denied as a child.

We're best friends. With benefits. :grin

AWWWWWWW!!!! :grin

Moonlight Phantasy. Rosy Blue. Kanuck and livinxtcgoth, I believe. Either Styx or I (or both of us) may be younger than you, by a little, as we're both 23. Morbid Suicide. Medea.

Those are really only off the top of my head... but yeah, sister, we're not at the kiddie table anymore. But you can sit at the post whore table with me.

Yeah, I'm 22.

(Off-topic, but I LOVE all the new smilies)

[Rayne]

age doesnt matter tho :grin

I agree. I've dated 14 years older ... or was it 13? I can't count.

But not so much in the younger than me catergory. 2 years was my limit there ...

Phee is 2 years older than me.

This is a curious question for all of you out there......am I the youngest person posting on this board???? I am only 23......just kinda have been able to really be me now that im on my own....had to obey rules I guess....now family and others really cant say anything about it. they dont like it , but they dont have to either. its still me just who i want to be. never really fit in anywhere. now i have found some people to talk to. LOL! anyway, am I the youngest??????? another thing, they dont like my clothes, my makeup, my accessories...like my spiked collar....oh well cant worry about what they like i guess....can only live my life! sorry this is like two topics just thought about while i was typing it.

why should her age have anything to do with it?

[BrassFusion]

why should her age have anything to do with it?

because I'm a dried up old spinster and I hate damn kids.

Or just maybe, if she's only 18, she probably hasn't been piercing (at least not legitimately) a full year. I assume there'd be laws against that.

Either way I wasn't being serious. i doubt even I could fuck up my own nose that badly and blossoming body piercers need victims to practice on.

I think someone's pheelings have been hurt.

[phee]

I think someone's pheelings have been hurt.

Not at all....

Not even a little bit

[BrassFusion]

Not even inpheenitesimally?

[phee]

Nope...

I am very secure with me and my Pheeance

[jadnifer]

good.

we wouldnt want phee's feelings hurt, now would we?

i dont think age matters that much just both people have to be secure in themselves and they have to be secure in each other and not care what other people may have to say about their relationship. as long as they are strong enough to hold it up, then it will hold up no matter what anyone says or thinks about it.

This brings me to a whole new realization...

I've been on this board since I was twenty, almost twenty one.

I'm about to turn twenty five in a couple of months.
