Hey everyone, I’ve been thinking about this age gap thing with my DM lately. It’s been bugging me because we’re 7 years apart, and I keep wondering if that means anything for our connection.
I know others have spoken about their own experiences with age differences but… why does it seem to be so common? I’ve tried meditating on it, but I still can’t shake the feeling that maybe we’re not really meant to be if we weren’t born closer together. Then again, when we’re together, time seems to melt away, and none of that stuff matters.
I guess I’m just looking for some reassurance from others who might have similar experiences or insights. Has anyone else dealt with an age difference and how did you come to terms with it on your journey?
Age differences between twin flames are completely natural and have no bearing on the authenticity of your connection. The physical aspects of your existence - including when you were born - aren’t relevant to the soul-level bond you share. Your soul energy exists outside of time and physical limitations.
The feeling you describe of time “melting away” when you’re together is actually very telling. That’s because you’re experiencing your connection from the soul level in those moments where age truly doesn’t exist or matter.
Many twin flames have significant age gaps. This often serves an important purpose - it helps both parties focus on the inner work and soul connection rather than getting caught up in surface-level compatibility. The age difference can act as a tool to help you look past physical world limitations.
Your doubts about the age gap come from fear-based thinking rather than your soul’s truth.
When you feel uncertain about this, try to focus on how you feel in those timeless moments together rather than getting caught up in mental calculations about years.
hey there, i totally get where you’re coming from with the age gap thing. it felt weird at first too, but honestly, the connection is so much deeper than just numbers. when you’re with your person, it’s like time doesn’t even exist - you’re just two souls vibing, you know?
It certainly is. On my bumpy journey leading me towards my twin, there were many rejections, overtures made to me etc and it was… silly when I look back. When I was 20, a lady 8 years older than me strongly desired a relationship with me and I freaked out thinking “she’s too old for me” as an 8 year difference felt enormous at that age so… that fell flat and I quickly regretted it but did I learn? Nope. The same poser was presented to me 5 years later - another lady 8 years older than me and even now I was in my mid 20’s, I reacted the same as before so you need not guess how that panned out. The following year, along came my twin and now I had the same “problem” in reverse as she is 6 years younger than me and unfortunately, I freaked and made that age gap a problem. For my twin, it wasn’t an issue but for me it was. Utterly misguided and dumb on my part but it did cause issues for me that my twin was supposed to help me overcome. In a way she did because I just knew I was destined to be with them no matter what and I did lose ego grip over the age difference but my ego was too fragile and messed up anyway (as was theirs), we were constantly pushing and pulling and we never managed to strike a happy medium or balance and after 7 years, my twin ran.
I do sometimes wonder if things may had turned out differently had it not been for my ego having this issue about the age gap. Now of course, I have zero issues with it but back then… a big problem I had to try and deal with.
Wow, age gaps are like drawing The Fool card - it’s about embracing new beginnings and trusting the journey, no matter the numbers! ?? I’ve got a 12-year gap with my twin flame, and let me tell you, it’s been like The Tower and The Star rolled into one - challenging but illuminating! ?
It’s all about that growth and letting go of those limiting beliefs. Like, you said it yourself - now you’ve got zero issues with the age gap. We should all be like that, really, but some people are not ready yet.
