[ForeverAmen 0]

Just curious - what is the age difference between you and your SO?

Our age difference is 2 years, 4 months and 26 days. He's older

I am 8.5 years older than my fiance. Ironically, I was engaged years ago to a Nigerian man whose tribe was adamantly against the marriage of a woman who is older than the man.

Subsequently, God intervened and had other plans for me, because the man I am engaged to marry now, years later, embraces and cherishes every aspect of me, and I cannot put into words how much I love that man.

months, weeks and days, ya'll are beyond funny!

Bassi is one year older than me. He was born on May 19 and I was born on April 16 one year apart. I'm a daydreamer with goals of early retirement, so you guys do the math.

My husband is 3 years older than I.

I understand what you are saying totally. I have a friend whose family insisted that he marry a girl younger than he is. Subsequently he married a girl 15 years younger than himself so she could give him babies. Needless to say, now she wants to partay and doesn't.

I am not quite 3 years older than him. I know that marrying an older woman can be a problem for some Nigerian men. I know one who was dating a girl who was several years older than him and his mother HAD A FIT. Even though he said he really loved this girl, he eventually found someone else (who, btw, is younger).

But my SO loves me and the age difference isn't an issue for us.

I took an African studies class in undergrad and that was a hot topic of discussion among the class and the foreign students. I was one of the foreign students at the time, and I too thought it was gross to marry a woman older you. Of course I was 20 years old and would not have touched a man too much older than me either. Anyway, most of the foreign born men were insistent that it was not right to marry an older woman especially if she already had children. Needless to say some of these same bastards didn't mind going out with an older woman for fun, they just wouldn't marry one. I felt they would marry a younger woman for children and to please the family and love really wasn't a requirement. Just my one of my many experiences after being on Earth so many years. LOL

No need to break it down to days and hours and such the years is a big enough number. I am 12 years older than him and he is Nigerian and the oldest son. But the family is ok with it. I guess they are happy that he is finially marrying. I feel like someone should be handing me the cougar award.

If I could get the darn cougar to paste on this reply I would be honored to give you your award.

My SO is three years older than me. Once upon a time, I was only interested in men at least 5 years older than me. Whenever I met guys within three years of my age, they always turned out to be so immature. But I tell you....africa breeds men different than they do out here. I've found alot of african men to be very mature, even at early ages. And I kinda like being in the same age range as my SO...I feel like I can relate to him better....and that we can grow together.
