GreyWolf...I believe you're right that an age difference of a generation wouldn't survive over time. I had a short relationship with a much younger man, that was wrong from the start (in more ways than one). Now I'm with a man eight years my junior, that I want to be with forever. I just hope he still thinks I'm the one when I'm 70 and he's not even a senior citizen yet.

Beyond 30, I don't really consider 8 years to be an older/younger relationship. I was talking in terms of really big differences (10+ years). I've been involved with an older woman for over 25 years. And I'm mean enough to mention it whenever I can. She hasn't kicked me out or severely injured me yet for that (tried to poison me once, but she still claims that was an accident
).
On the other hand, she'll be retiring a few years before I do
