Who is younger: you or your FH? And what comments have been made about your age differance? I'm 2 1/2 years older than my FH, but I'll be 26 when we marry and he'll only be 23.

I'm 2 1/2 years older than my FH, but I'll be 26 when we marry and he'll only be 23. People give us a lot of weird looks when they find out that I'm older than he is, or because he has a baby face, it looks like I'm making out with an 18 yr old. My mother makes a TON of comments about how I'm stagnating his life by him getting married so young (He'll turn 24 two months after our wedding). We just roll our eyes.

    I'm 15 years older than NotFroofy. We were 47 and 32 when we met, 56 and 41 when we married. But given all we went through to get married, no one was making any negative comments.

    FH is 5 years older. No comments but I think that is a pretty 'normal' age difference.

    I think Stephanie is right, it depends on what age and stage in life you are about the comments you may or may not get.

    I'm a year and 5 months older then DH. No one makes any comments about the age difference, except for DH when he wants to bug me about "robbing the cradle".

    I am 22 and he is 24. His family gets confused since we were born 1 year apart but I wasn't born until December and he was born in February.

    He's younger than i am! he was born a month and two years after me. he used to always make comments about it in jokes because he knew it bothered me from the beginning. we both went into our friendship thinking we were both the same age lol. and when we both figured it out, it was too late to care.

    FH is exactly nine months older than me. We joke and say when he was born, I was being conceived. Lol. No comments about our age difference. But age is just a number, and love is love. I don't think it matters who is older.

    He's older by 5 years. I'll be 22 and he'll be 27 by the time of the wedding. We don't get a lot of age difference comments (most people who know my personality forget how young I am) but I walked into the travel agency and said I needed help planning my honeymoon and the lady said 'You're not old enough to be going on a honeymoon'. I found it kind of offensive to be honest.

    I'm older than he is, but we get comments on how he's with a 'young one' since I look younger and he has hair loss.

    people assume wrong all the time.

    I'm older than him by 3 1/2 years. I'm 28, he's 25. I don't even really think about it much unless it gets brought up.
