Do you think a 7 month age difference is a legitimate excuse to end a relationship?

There is very little difference developmentally between two people seven months apart (who are of dating age, that is). There must be another reason.

It probably depends, although it sounds pretty dubious.

Only if you're less than 10 years old!

No. Anyone who would end a relationship over a seven month age difference is already unhappy with the relationship for some other reason.

You just made me feel worse about that. I thought 5 years was enough time to get over it, but you've just brought back the bad feelings.

No, and I hope that you are running this by us because you're thinking of using it, and not because someone just used it on you, because if that were the case...Oh never mind...

I am so sorry. I really didn't mean to make you feel badly. Forgive me?

yeah. You didn't know. How could you have known?

Believe me, none of my failed relationships were done on my part. I've never been the rejecter, merely the rejectee.

gray skies are gonna clear up put on a happy face I don't remember the next line spread sunshine all over the place and put on a happy face like this

No.
I dated seven years older guy than me; my friend dated twenty eight years old girl when he was fifteen, etc.

No, that sounds like a silly reason.

I think it's an excuse, not a reason.

I might be a decent ratio of you're 2 years old...

7 months??? nnnnnnnnnnaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

What's wrong with a 7 month age difference? Sounds like a pretty good age difference to me... but since when did age matter anyway?

If someone gave me that as a reason to break up, I wouldn't want to continue the relationship as they just showed me how shallow they are.

Being the rejectee rather than the rejector doesn't mean it wasn't your fault. Maybe you should consider why all your relationships end with someone rejecting you. Why do people find it so difficult to stay with you?

Is this real or something you made up? Ever since you said you make things up I have trouble believing you.

Of course not. Looking for justification or vindication?

If you are looking for an excuse to end the relationship, that is reason enough for the other person to end the relationship.

If it really bothers the person, then yes. God knows why a seven month age difference would bother someone, but...

Well, jamie didn';t think I was smart enough for her, and maybe I wasn't. I wasn't as good at math as she was. Nancy, she's the kind of girl where, when you look back on your life, makes you go "What the fudge was I thinking!" She was a mean nasty little person, and I'm glad that didn;t work out. Misty was the 7 month thing. I was 14, she was almost 15, and she said I was too young, and that I was a 'good friend.' Ouch. Jennie, well, that's one I;'d rather not not discuss. Too recent.

My SO and I are 9 years apart.

NO! love should never have to be mixed with age

like i said before, its a good reason if you are like fourteen months old and your partner is only 7 months old

That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! I don't know why anyone would end a relationship JUST because of that. The only possible reasoning I can think of is if one of them turned 18 and the other was underage, but if statutory rape was a worry they could just abstain from sex until the younger one turned 18.

My husband is 8 months younger than I am and I never thought of that as much at all.

I have a feeling this is a trap.

Gary? Is that you? Look, okay, it isn't the age difference, but you really don't want to know the real reason.

Okay, okay, you're not going to let it rest, look, it's your breath.

One Female Voter answered Yes. Her age is given at 48.6. Who would that be?

No it isn't. ASB and I are much farther apart than that.

Don't mean to make Brian feel bad but I agree with you.

I was trying to cheer Brian up. I had forgotten about that comment, though. I wrote it ages ago!

I'm just getting caught up.

That's cool.
