Well, quite the can of worms I started lol

This has been an interesting read and thanks to all for your input.

It really is about the fit and what makes each of us happy - yes, we can worry all day about tomorrow and what if, but it makes for a very empty and unfulfilling now don't you think?

I do think that in relationships where there is a huge gap, it will be affected at some point in time just by the very nature of getting older - we all grow up and gain different levels of maturity as we do and at varying points, that may at some point figure into a relationship that has many years between it. Again, that's wondering what if and a waste of energy

If it works and the parties involved are happy, isn't that what we all strive to? In any relationship really? I know i do and wish it for all of you as well
