I know a few people in this situation. They seem to be as happy/ happier than the same age couples I know.

Given the way you type though I'm guessing she thinks you own the store.........

She know im just the manager 😛

 
I have two friends in their early 30's who are married to women 10+ younger than them...their relationships/marriages have been great, are great, and will be great.

Age is just a number...it is all the other factors such as physical fitness, mental and spiritual maturity, personality and personal connection, etc. that make a relationship go.

Heck I'm 5 years older than my wife...that is isn't much now but it was when got married...I was 23 she was 18 (No, we are not mormon). The age gap made me a little uneasy at the time but it was mostly just in my head...although I'm sure many people thought I was robbing the craddle and she was way too young to get married.

We've been married 7 years now...life is awesome, we have no regrets.

Yop.Iv been dating this girl, and the thing that make me nervous a bit, is that she is only 20.

Do you think it can work for two people who have that big different of age, at their age, to make it work for a very long relationship to come?

If it worked for you...tell me your story please.Id Like to hear it...cause atm, im having fun with this relationship...but asking myself tooo much question because she is only 20...

My bro is 32, and his wife is 23 and they've been mariied for like 2 years. So i guess it could work if u want it too.
 
My dad is 59 and my mom is 49. They have been married for something like 30 years or something. Though they got together when my dad was 35 and she was 25. Anything can work.
 
Things might work out well between you too..but what happens when friends enter into the equation? You're going to hang around her 20 year old friends and she'll be with her 30 year old friends. That's when things can get a little weird.

I've dated people more than twice my age...

Didn't you just turn 18 on the 1st? So you dated 34+ year olds as a minor?

It happens.
 
My father-in law is about 15 years older than my mother-in-law. He is about 86 and she is about 71 - and I still see them holding hands together the last time I saw them. Their daughter(my wife) is almost seven years younger than me...

If the 2 of you really like each other, share interests & have fun together CHfan4ever, give it a try. All I can think of is that old saying, "It is better to have loved & lost than to have never loved at all." 🙂

Try it.

Internet relationships can be great.
