The more years there are between you, sometimes it gives the chance for more life experiences. This can go both ways.
While I am no longer in a traditional relationship with him, I love and dated a man 17 years my senior. He is my best friend, and I will admit at times it was frustrating to be seeing the world with different eyes. This is not automatically the result of an age difference, but it does present different challenges to your relationship.
I found it much easier to have strong lines of communication, brutal honesty, and true compassion in someone who had experienced the lack of these in previous relationships.
