oldguy Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Why would you think a 2 year age differences between 2 people in their 20's would be a problem, seriously? Link to post Share on other sites

oldguy Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 (edited) I only considered that after I posted, sorry. Cultural norms are resistant to change. Edited August 30, 2011 by oldguy Link to post Share on other sites
Stung Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 I can't imagine there would be any REAL problems. There is no significant physical difference, wouldn't be any health issues, and if there are any sexual problems down the line they would be due to personality issues, nothing age-related. 20 months is really nothing and it wouldn't be a big deal in my culture. I can't speak to the cultural issues YOU are faced with. If it bothers you enough that you wrote a thread about it, and if it's going to bother all your friends and family, then it could become an issue in your marriage and one of those nagging problems. On the other hand, if you love the girl, perhaps you should consider becoming a pioneer for social change. Only you can know what's right for you. Link to post Share on other sites
breakfastmeat Posted August 30, 2011 Share Posted August 30, 2011 Unless you both go out in public with your ages written across your foreheads, how would anyone know and why would it matter? Link to post Share on other sites
Afishwithabike Posted September 1, 2011 Share Posted September 1, 2011 hi, i am a guy of 26.4 yrs . i become affectionate to my female colleague of 28 years and she also like me .. and if we decide to marry is it cause any problem in future regarding sexual or overall conjugal life... please suggest me as i am in dilemma I can't believe this is a serious question. I suppose I must be missing some cultural implication because no one in America would even think to ask such a question about such a minor age difference. I understand in your culture (Are you Indian?) this may be difficult to accept socially, but look at it this way. Why does anyone else have to know that she is 20 months older than you? No one has to know her age unless you choose to tell them. Really, it's no one else's business how many months she's older than you. This isn't going to affect your conjugal life or sex life in any way unless you choose to let it affect you. Link to post Share on other sites
bsbazaar Posted September 7, 2011 Share Posted September 7, 2011 You can marry her. In our culture we cannot marry a women older than a man. I was always curious about this culture. But have not found the answer yet. Older women can give you care and love more than a younger ones i think this way. She will behave you like your mother i mean very loving, caring,......... just marry her. just 2 year age diffetent is not a big problem William shakespeare had married a women who was 7 years older than him Salvador dali and other many people have done this. I have seen a lot of people marrying older women and there is no problem. Link to post Share on other sites
