Age Gaps 10+ Years

Is anybody in a relationship where the age difference between the two people is 10+ years? If so, has it ever been an issue?
And if not, what do you all think of age gaps of that size, can they work? When you get to 50 that person could be 65, for example, would that be a problem to you or not?

Thanks, I didn't see that thread at the time. I know there have been plenty on the issue though.
How do you feel though when you are 55 though and they are say 70? That's where general fitness etc become apparent. If you love the person though, it is irrelevant, but it was just a thought.
You said in another thread that your friend who is 12 years older than you was too old for you though. Surely if you feel the above then he isn't?
From what he's said, it sonds like he wants different things to what I want. I am also not interested him. (I don't even want a relationship right now) And it would be wrong imo, to go out with someone who is only 11 years younger than my mum.
That's fair enough
I don't like my step-mum being so young... but only because she isn't really old enough to be my mum, and that makes me freaked out. But I guess it's okay.
