StandingO Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Generally speaking what is the success for long term relationships when you have more then 10 years between ages. We have about 13 years difference. The relationship has been fantastic since we met about 5 years ago. Only recently do I sense some changes. Maybe the stress of some other things in her life. She has stopped working out at her normally serious level and lost 10 pounds etc. The sex has been great up to 6 months ago. Share your experience would be appreciated.

Emilia Posted June 25, 2016 Share Posted June 25, 2016 Have you broken up? Asking because this is in the break up section. Circumstance changes don't always have something to do with age gap. Are you only attracted to her looks and the sex? Because that's what your questions appear to focus on. Link to post Share on other sites
Author StandingO Posted June 25, 2016 Author Share Posted June 25, 2016 You are right. I click on the wrong section. No have not broke up yet. No the relation is not all based on looks or sex but I was a factor in the beginning for sure. I am the older one so if anyone would be changing based on looks and sex needs it would be her. No we always had good communication, got along great and deep caring for each other. Link to post Share on other sites

Author StandingO Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 She experienced some stress and depression over some family matters. One parent getting sick and other sibling squabbles about who will step up etc. She travels a bit now in her new position with work. That's about all I am aware of. She never had kids but didn't seem to want any. I don't think she is seeing anyone. If she is that would shock me. Link to post Share on other sites
Emilia Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Don't you think you should ask her what the problem is? 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Els Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 To answer the title: Depends on your ages. If you were 20 and 33 I think that would likely be be unsustainable in the long term (in most cases, anyway), but if you were 40 and 53 it might not be so bad. As for the rest of the post: Talk to her? Link to post Share on other sites
Author StandingO Posted June 26, 2016 Author Share Posted June 26, 2016 We are the 53 to 40 range. I have talked with her. Basically it's what she been going through mentally. I think it's time for a vacation together Thanks guys 1 Link to post Share on other sites
