Is 15 years difference going to be a problem?

how much do you like the job? chances are there will be trouble if it doesnt all go to plan
Yep.The fact that you work together is much more of an issue than the age gap.
In fact, it is insignificant compared to the amount of misery that will be heaped on you if it turns unpleasant.

Also went this way, 11 years difference 26 and 37. It didn't work out at the end but then childless women at that age naturally have their own ideas about certain issues which I don't share.
Met her through work as well which wasn't an issue, certainly made the day more interesting. Although we'd both moved on to other jobs by the end.
17 years between us. She has one child who is now entering the wonderful world of the teenager. He already thinks he's the local gangster and the hard nut of the house lol. We aren't having anymore kids, she doesn't want them and I've seen the light and decided it isn't all that matters lolMet her through work as well which wasn't an issue, certainly made the day more interesting.

I'm 41 and other half is 26.
This idea that the 50 year old woman (in the future) will be stuck with a 65 year old guy is nuts!
What do people think happens to someone at 65? They just pack up????
I fully intend to be in the gym/whatever as often at 65 as I am now.....I know for sure I'm in better shape at 41 than 31! (hence have a hot 26 year old )
In fact, my only worry is that I'll be an active 65 year old running around like most 40 somethings.....and the other half will be 50 (shudder....joke )

isn't the child a bigger issue?
I'd argue the opposite actually - a 25 year old without kids would still be barely grown up. If you've got children you have to become a bit responsible.regardless of age differences in relationships, aren't S.O.C.Ks always a disadvantage?

Everyone thinks they will stay fit and active (or that their partner will). Look around at the 80 year old men and women you know and tell me how many injury free, non-grumpy, nightclubbing triathletes there are. There may be exceptions but old is, well, old, and the combination of one person becoming elderly at the same time as the other one wanting to make the most of their middle age while they can, is often toxic. Then just imagine being 65 and having sex with a typical 80yo. Far better to grow old together but as I said, it's irrelevant at your age. I've had plenty of women half my age but that's purely because I was a dirty sod not the slightest bit interested in any kind of significant relationship. Women I know with a penchant for younger men seem to have a similar motivation.This idea that the 50 year old woman (in the future) will be stuck with a 65 year old guy is nuts!
