Kelsey Herbers and her fiancé with their dog
The author and her fiancé are in an age-gap relationship.
  • I started a job, and one of my older coworkers found me so attractive he couldn't attend meetings.
  • Despite a 17-year age gap and living in different states, we found common ground.
  • I believe our age difference strengthens our relationship, and we look forward to getting married.

“This is going to be difficult.” That’s the first thought my former coworker and now fiancé had the first time he saw me pop up in my Teams video tile as part of his regular work meeting.
