'We met when I was 21 and he was 40': What age gap is OK in relationships or does it matter?

What age gap is acceptable in relationships or does it matter at all? Yvonne Reddin finds out

People who are inclined to be older-minded often gravitate towards an older partner.

She met him as a 25-year-old and the person she fell for was 20+ years older, the chemistry was so powerful that everything paled into the background. Nothing her family, friends or close colleagues said mattered about the apparent age difference.

Now, looking back and that same woman is 55 years old, her husband is now in his 70s and noticeably slower in his retirement years. The woman is far from ready to retire and has a busy second life now the children have grown up and moved on, or a new venture is just about to take off for her.
