The age difference between you and your partner shouldn't matter. In the event that it does, the problem should lie between the two of you and not other people. In my opinion, 16 years apart isn't that large if the two of you have a mutual understanding and you can make the relationship work.

This does not matter if he loves you and you love him and you're happy together don't worry about what other people think or say

No, age isn't a problem unless your under age and he is over 18. If both of y'all are of age. Don't worry about the age difference. My fianc? and I are 14 years apart. All that matters is between you two and no one else.

It's a little easier when both people are over age 40, but not usually before. Maturity & interest issues can make things difficult. But there are always exceptions.

Oh my gosh - yes. I think what you have to consider are your mutual interests - what draws you together aside from the physical attraction? Important because, as many wise people say, in between hugs & kisses - what do you talk about? What do you have in common? It's OK to have different interests, keeps things interesting, but if you are both too far divided in your likes, dislikes, social & political views, there may be some problems.

That's not absolutely true about the age difference and maturity levels. Some younger people are at a higher level than others their age. My fiance and I are 14 years apart, we are best friends and have everything I'm common. So it really depends.

Completely agree with you, there are exceptions. My opinions is only based on personal experience. I just don't want to paint a rosy picture of romance - esp. re spring/winter younger woman-older guy relationships. My mom & dad were just 10 years apart when they married. (19/29) My mom thought it was very romantic & glamorous to marry an older, experienced guy. My dad was not so enamoured. Her being very naive & innocent about life caused friction & fights between them. He'd been around the world & seen a lot. He also had a difficult time dropping his single guy habits for marriage responsibilities, because he married later in life. (It was the early 60's) She ended up deeply disallusioned & eventually they divorced. Not all relationships end like this but it's a good reminder to be aware of such things, esp should marriage happen.
