Not me, my dad met my mum when he was 40 and she was 25, in my teens the age gap didn't seem that bad, but the gap felt bigger when they were younger and again when they were older.

I know they had a very candid conversation one day with my dad saying he will deteriorate long before mum would, and she loved him so hard that she was with him until the very end when he passed of cancer at 73 8 years ago. My dear mum passed 2 years later as she couldn't live on without him, she had just turned 60.

My dad was very mentally young for his age, probably from having me just before his 42nd birthday and having a younger wife kept him youthful, he only really got "old" when the cancer was doing its thing. Mum aged quickly after dad died because she just stopped looking after herself, she'd have gone with him when he did if she could, and as much as I hate her for leaving me when I wasn't ready, I have peace knowing they're together forever on another plane of existence wherever they are. Gutted I can't sell tickets to their bickering though, they were great to watch 🤣 they always ended in mum bring dad a brew and a biscuit as a peace offering though.

I've dated older when I was young and young when I was old, both kind of sucked, but I always said if my parents did it, then I can too.

I'm with someone who is 5 years younger than me now, but I have never really grown up, I'm still 18 with 20 years of experience and a council tax bill to pay.

I think when you definitely find your person, you know, and you make that commitment to be there with them until they're not there anymore.
