MyThreeSons Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Hubby asked me to pose this question to the community, he would like the data for one of his classes. If we could get 100 replies, that would be much appreciated. ETA: I changed the poll options to be Husband or Wife, because there are a few dads on the boards also, so "Me" and "My Spouse" isn't very clear. Dh is 17 years older than I. (Yes, 17!) And he is several inches shorter than I am. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MyThreeSons Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Dh is 12.5 years older. Which is only weird when we talk about where we were when the Challenger exploded (he was in the Navy, I was in 2nd grade :huh: ) When President Kennedy was assassinated, I was 4-1/2 years old. Dh was set to get married to his first wife that weekend, and there was talk of postponing the wedding out of respect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Um_2_4 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 DH is 10 years and 1 1/2 months older than me and I constantly remind him he "caught a youngin'..." :smilielol5: And I often stare at him blankly when he mentions something from his teen years.....if I recall it, I'll say "oh, I think I was in kindy when my uncle used to listen to that (or that movie came out or whatever)" !! Oh and my mom and dad had the same age difference, 10 years, and everyone always used to ask me if my dad was my grandpa, so I swore I would never marry someone that old ....yeah that didn't work out. :laugh: .. (but we did have our kids younger than my parents did) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kathryn Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 DH is three years older than me. I always assumed that the male was always older or the couple was the same age. The only exception that I knew of were my grandparents. She was a year older than him. But they were in the same year in college, where they met, as he was being accelerated by the Navy during WWII. She took the train from Kansas to Boston so hey could get married when he came of age on his 21st birthday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VeganCupcake Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'm 2 years older than DH, but he's the one with the gray hair. :) Bwahahahahaha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farrar Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I'd be interested in what the spread is... I mean, it's one thing when someone is a year or two older and something else when they're a decade. Of course, by the time you meet and marry, presumably it doesn't matter much.

AimeeM Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I love harping on my husband some times :) He says "listened to this song at prom/homecoming, etc". I say "I was in a diaper". :P DH is 10 years and 1 1/2 months older than me and I constantly remind him he "caught a youngin'..." :smilielol5: And I often stare at him blankly when he mentions something from his teen years.....if I recall it, I'll say "oh, I think I was in kindy when my uncle used to listen to that (or that movie came out or whatever)" !!

Erin Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I am three years older, but no one believes me, lol. I have always looked younger than my years. Despite the mere 3 months between us, most people think Trap is about 10 years older than I. I have a round face, making me look younger than I am, and he has spent his entire life working outdoors, so he had wrinkles and deep lines by the time he was 25. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucy in Australia Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 I am 3 months older than DH and like many others, it appears he makes the most of those 3 months, especially when we're talking about starting a new decade :laugh: We do, however, thoroughly enjoy being able to say "remember when..." because it's equally relevant to both of us.
