Did you fall in love with someone much older or younger than you? Did it work out? This morning we hear from the south east woman who first met her husband when he was 12 and she was an English language teacher in his native Romania.

They got together as a couple five years later but he was still only 17. The relationship tested her family's patience, and his! If there is a big age gap can the relationship really work?

If you are the older person - do you live in fear your other half will leave you? Is it OK for women to marry younger men - why did you choose an older woman?
