We hit it off through a book club. Age didn’t matter because we were both passionate about the same stories and ideas.

I was 24, and she was 36. She was a family friend.

I just messaged her on Facebook spontaneously, and she asked what was for breakfast. I told her chorizo and eggs, and she asked if she could join. I obliged.

The relationship lasted 10 years

Met at work. She was 38, I was 24. Both female. Thought she was straight, so did she. We were friends, I always fancied her but didn’t know she felt the same. Only took 3.5 years before she told me how she felt and we’ve been together ever since! Best relationship I’ve ever had, she’s my best mate and the most wonderful person I’ve ever met. Age doesn’t really come into it, we’re just people who fell in love!

I’m 28 and she’s 42. We’re having a baby girl next month, together 2 years in January. She is the greatest partner I could have ever imagined and she came with 3 kids that all love me.
