Age gap relationships are nothing new — a 2022 study showed that in 40% of opposite-sex marriages, the husband was, on average, three years older than his wife. However, some age gaps are MUCH wider, with one partner being several decades older than the other. But, with these age-gap" relationships, there are often discussions of power imbalances and general inappropriateness.

So when Redditor u/anontar4 asked the r/AskWomen community, "Hey ladies, to those of you who’ve dated someone 20 years older- how did it go, and what was your experience?" women were willing to share how a massive age gap impacted their romantic relationships (for better or worse). Without further ado, here are 15 of their most enlightening stories: 1. "I was 19. He told me he was 24, but as I later learned, he was 36. I couldn’t tell because he was hot, muscular, and looked VERY young for his age. To convince me he was 12 years younger, he had to lie about many other aspects of his life. After a few months, I discovered the truth and dumped him." Mixmike / Getty Images. "After we broke up, he began dating a 16-year-old! I told her and her parents the truth, but they ignored me — those two are still together." 2. "I was 26, he was 47. We connected intellectually, and the intimacy was great. Still, he tried to be controlling and dominating and called me 'difficult' if I didn't go along with what he wanted." "He would try to pull the 'I'm older and wiser' card about nearly every subject — including those in which I had expertise and he did not. Despite being physically older, he was emotionally immature. He would refuse to discuss any issue between us and insisted on talking about only pleasant things and moving forward. When I called him out on his awful behavior, he would pout and say he was sorry, like a toddler. I ended it after five months." 3. "I was 23, he was 46. Our relationship was mostly good, so I married him." 'I think it helped that neither of us were cool — by that, I mean that nerds are ageless. If you're the type of person to geek out over movie trivia, the etymology of a particular word, or 19th-century authors, the age of your fellow geek doesn't matter. I lost him far too young, and I still miss him." 4. "He was my sugar daddy. He paid me decently and was respectful and kind.
