Member Since: August 2007 Posts: 29 Send Message	There is no such thing as an age gap, it's like minds that gel, be you 66 or 27 one can overcome the physical thing of age. keeps you young too.

Member Since: July 2008 Posts: 3,009 Send Message	That's exactly how I saw Anna Nicole Smith's relationship, Sue and good on both of them. Rox, as you know there's fifteen years between us and it doesn't affect our relationship at all.

Member Since: March 2003 Posts: 4,377 Send Message	Some of you may remember my thread about my daughter. Her partner is 18 years older than her. She's 25, he's 43. They have just got engaged and have bought a house together, and seem very happy. They were friends for 2 years before they became partners, maybe that makes a difference?
