  When the Lady is Older Than the Man Topic: Does Age Difference Matter in Relationships? Especially When the Lady is Older Than the Man (or the Man is Much Older) By: Coach Davie INTRODUCTION – LET'S TALK REAL: Hey family! So recently, I got hit with a question that honestly made me chuckle—but also had layers of wisdom hiding underneath. Someone asked: “😂😂… Coach Davie, should age difference be a factor to consider, especially when the lady is older than the gentleman? ” Now, I know that question is on a lot of people’s minds, especially in this generation where traditional relationship dynamics are shifting.

He was thoughtful, consistent, the kind of man who showed up—not with fancy words, but with steady actions. He wasn’t the loudest in the room, but his presence was calming. He made her feel safe. That should have been enough. But over time, things shifted. It started with the comparisons.      “Why can’t you be more like Tasha’s husband? He takes her on surprise dates.” “Look at how Alex plans ahead—why don’t you think like that?” Caleb never argued back. He just smiled softly. But something in him grew quieter with each word. Then came the moments when he just wanted to be alone. Lisa panicked every time.      “Are you avoiding me? What did I do wrong? Are you upset?” What she didn’t realize was that solitude wasn’t rejection—it was how Caleb recharged. His quiet time was his way of processing the weight of life. But instead of space, he felt press...
