Also it is not nice to think your partner will die and youll still be a middle-aged wo/man seeking another life partner.

Shouldnt be no more than 10 years ideally.

Yeah I think that's the thing that bothers me the most - even if the relationship lasted despite the likelihood that you'll want different things from life at different times if there's a large age gap; the chances are, one of you is going to die and the other one is still going to have many years of life left and they're either going to spend the rest of their life alone or try to find someone new... maybe it's a bit old fashioned but I think most people want to end up with someone, spend their lives together and then, although nobody wants to die, ideally you're not going to lose your partner and be alone for long, you know? It's a bit grim but I suppose most people would rather die with the one they love than be the one left behind to pick up the pieces and grieve...
