A Few Signs That You're Dating Or You've Married Someone Too Different In Age...

• You were just born not too shortly or long after your partner or spouse had his or her first child.
• Your parents and/or even grandparents weren't even born when your partner or spouse was.
• Your parents and/or even your grandparents are as old as, or even younger than, your partner or spouse.
• Your partner or spouse graduated middle, high, or post-secondary school (e.g., college and graduate school) before you were born.
• Your partner or spouse started his or her first job or career before you were born.
• Your partner or spouse addresses your parents and even grandparents by their first names instead of "Mom", "Dad", Grandma", "Grandpa", etc. because he's as old as or even older than them.
• Your partner or spouse is addressed by your friends and other peers as "Mr.", "Sir", etc.; or "Ms.", "Mrs.", "Mam", etc.. e.g.:

[Censored] is the best miss you too...I would like to make a presentation... for you...and Mr. Geraldo...

(You can guess to whom that post was addressed).

• Your stepchildren are more old enough to be your peers than old enough to be your children.
• You were still younger than kindergarten age or weren't even born when your partner or spouse was at least a quarter century of age.
• You (as someone once pointed out about the then-still-married Katie Lee and Billy Joel) are getting high school and college reunion letters when your spouse is getting retirement, reverse mortgage, funeral planning, and similar letters for later-middle-aged and elderly persons.
• You are slightly past or haven't even hit your golden years or even your prime when your spouse dies of old age or age-related complications.
• Your oldest stepchild was born slightly or even way before, or slightly after you were; your youngest stepchild is old enough to be your pubescent (e.g., 9-12 years of age)- and teen (e.g., 13-19)-years child; and your child is (or children are) old enough to be your partner's or spouses grandchild(ren) or great-grandchild(ren).

This doesn't count if you're marrying someone like Tony Randall who stayed faithful to his first, old-enough spouse and never was able to have children with her, by the way. This counts only if you're like, for example:

It also counts if you can be financially independent and get anyone that you could want.
