I would like to ask a question. Does anyone here have a large age difference between themselves and their partners? Gf and I are 16 years apart. I'm 34 and she will be 50 next month. I just wondered if anyone else had a big age difference and how you deal with those issues.

My partner is 41 and I am 31. I don't think any of our problems are due to our ages. lol Occasionally she will get irritated that I don't remember something she does because I was an infant when it happened. LOL Most of our gay friends are her age and they tease her about being lucky she has a hot young girlfriend.

I personally have no experience with a big age difference from who I was seeing, but I've known several couples who do and they've always seemed to get along beautifully.
Do you have a more direct question about what is troubling you?

LOL Red! You read my mind!
Now to answer your question,
Hmmm how about I make "conflicting libidos" next week's question?
As far as her dying before you,

We do alot of other intimate things too. There are times when she has a good libido and other times when... nothing.
It used to kill me too. Now I know she loves me very much and I am ok with it. I had to learn to go without that part of our relationship at times and to understand that it does not mean that someone does not love me but rather they have a low libido.
We, Sheila and I, have been together for 10 1/2 years now and we have learned alot about working together on our issues. Of course when it comes to clashing libidos it hurts both partners. The one who is being neglected and the one who feels they are doing the neglecting and might lose their partner over it.
Do not feel like you are alone. Sheila and I have battled this for several years now. Just respect your partner and be sure you can handle this part of your relationship and then accept it. Sometimes she used to push away because she was afraid it might lead to sex or think I might misinterpret intimacy as a lead in to sex. Make sure you and your partner can have an understanding that you can be intimate without it always leading to sex.
That will relieve the pressure from both of you.
I hope Shannon reads this too.
Hugs,
Laurie
