I don’t know enough about it to say! My one undergrad psych class and viewings of Dr. Phil are not enough to make me comfortable in my diagnostic skills lol.

I would say that maybe her emotions aren’t as extreme as they seem; it’s more because she represses the hell out of them. So when she seems calm, she’s not numb, she’s just refusing to like… talk about how she feels. Instead, she lashes out in destructive ways. It just used to be at other people (e.g. in acotar towards Feyre and her father), and now she’s turned it inward. Unfortunately, she’s still really good at lashing out at people who don’t deserve it.

This whole “no one understands the way I feel” has always stood out to me as being pretty immature, and based on the way Nesta handles her emotions, that would fit with her inability to handle what she’s dealing with in a constructive or even slightly healthy way. (Although, it was Feyre who made that observation about Nesta and her feelings, not Nesta herself. So maybe there’s something else going on there.) Nesta sees things, she understands what is going on and how she’s affecting people, but I don’t think she’s able to always care, or stop herself. And now after everything that happened in acowar, she’s lost what little control she had.

Re: abandonment, perhaps that’s partly why she has never had a real relationship? Preventive measures.

(I’m going to reread acofas this week and from what I remember, that’s when the “numbness” starts to come in, which makes it seem more situational? Will report back. I’m sure I’ll have more Nesta thoughts.)

What is the best age difference for a husband and a wife? Unfortunately for them, but luckily for the rest of us, people make their own choices — and are free to ignore silly rules of thumb.  Something about the kind of person who opts into a marriage with a large age gap could be driving the higher divorce rates, rather than the age gap itself.  Although this is a fun rule of thumb, what does research say about age preferences for potential mates? Another study by Sven Drefahl of the University of Stockholm looked at people over the age of 50 in Denmark, and found that men with younger spouses survived for longer than those with ones of a similar age.  One study reported that most women preferred an older man so that he could help them pay the rent or mortgage.  According to Hugo Mialon, one of the researchers behind one of the studies, it all boils down to the character differences on why the couples will likely divorce.

Four years, four months... the perfect age gap for a couple (but only if the man is older) Women, on the other hand, generally look for successful and more established men their age or older.  And is it different between heterosexual and homosexual couples we fall into the latter? If a woman is interested in starting a family, an older male is especially of interest as he is also more likely to have a good amount of assets and savings to support a wife and kids.  The bigger question was whether or not God was drawing us together.  I took a closer look at that particular case and found a 21-year-old man married to a 79-year-old woman.  Indeed, a new survey has stated that the ideal age difference between a couple is when the man is four years and four months older than the woman.  In 64 percent of heterosexual couples, the man is older.

This is the Ideal Age Gap in a Relationship to Make it Work Would this be considered socially appropriate? After all, It turns out that, on average, women tend to be married to men a few years older than themselves 2-5 years.  How does this age difference calculator work? This is what I challenge my readers and clients to do and what I did myself.  The data that is available on the subject of age gaps in relationships is still fairly limited, and the intention of these researchers is more about understanding relationship trends than making a concrete claim about the ideal age gap between partners.  Studies show that a one-year age difference is ideal, and that a larger age gap can definitely challenge a couple.  An age difference is just one factor to consider.  With a calculation such as this, you can date or marry anyone from 38 years old to 20.

What is the best age difference for a husband and a wife? The site is a trustworthy online dating site for singles.  But there are exceptions to every situation.  When it comes to sex and relationships, opinions differ as to the ideal age gap that should be between couples.  But what I'm trying to say is, more people still think that a romantic relationship is ideal when it's between an older man and a younger woman.  After spending a few days trying to adjust to the fact that the handsome co-leader of my small group was seven years my junior, I had just realized that he was actually eight years younger! According to some, you can determine your appropriate dating age range by only dating someone who is within a fifth of your own age.  This goes to show that when you are in love age makes no difference.  Perceptions Will Change Julia says that as a younger woman matures and gains more experience, the mentor mentality might change.

What is the Best Age Gap in a Relationship? Guest Post Maybe I just prefer someone younger.  Now, the half-your-age plus seven rule has entered the cultural lexicon.  This will never happen, I thought.  A younger, healthier partner could make sense, at least from your side of the equation.  Cole says that the key to success to a relationship between couples with huge age difference must accept their transitional nature.

4 Things to Consider When Dating With an Age Difference They restricted their survey to people who fell within a year of five age groups: 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60, and asked a similar number of men 70 and women 67.  While women prefer a small and constant age gap, men are so hooked on the idea of a nubile young partner that they prefer a larger age gap the older they get.  Men may not like this trend but it's happening with or without their approval.  Couples with 5 year age gap have an 18 percent chance of filing for divorce.  The ideal age gap can be one of them.  Despite the popularity of this formula, many researchers have recently concluded that the ideal age gap in a relationship is when the man is exactly four years and four months older than the woman.  Specifically, four years and four months older, which was the average as reported by a survey of 2,000 adults.

Four years, four months... the perfect age gap for a couple (but only if the man is older) So maybe there is a kernel of truth the rule, at least for men.  Not that I have anything against dating older guys, but here's some afternoon uggghhh: Financial stability was one of the biggest reasons women cited for preferring older dudes, since 55% of women said they couldn't afford rent or mortgages on their own.  The longer you are in the relationship, the higher the chance that you will be forced to deal with the huge age gap.  It states that one should never date anyone under half their age plus seven years.  Remember, this is self-reported data from people who make their relationship status public on Facebook.  Hope the numbers help, Mona Andrew Flowers and Ben Casselman contributed analysis.
