Being married to someone who's way older than me.

I have been in a relationship with my European boyfriend for quite a while now. For months, we get along well, everything seems to be perfect! The romance date tour which I attended made a big impact to my life, especially in meeting the love I’ve been longing to have. Just earlier this week, he proposed to me. He did it through a video call in Skype. I said “yes”, and I really meant it. Others might say I’m being dumbed for doing so but it’s love that matters most, not the age. Would you agree with me?

Everyone has an entirely different opinion, but it really doesn't matter, because you do what makes you happy. And for those who call you crazy because of that, you can tell them just to shove it.

If you love him and he treats you in ways that make you feel happy and loved, then go for it. Age means nothing.

Congrats on the proposal! plus I agree with you. It doesn't matter if it was on a skype call or whatever. Age is nothing but a number.

Congratulations! I am so happy for you

 

My friend's parents have the biggest age gap I've ever known (12 years) and they're the cutest, happiest couple I've ever seen. Other people even get jealous of how happy they are together. And I sometimes even think that one of the things that keep their relationship constantly enjoyable is their age gap. They grew up in a different decade, so their childhoods were extremely different. So, they have a lot to learn about each other's life, childhood, and experiences before they met each other. And because of that, they both have tremendous respect for each other.

 

If you know that you'll be happy with him, you should marry him!

Sometimes people's opinion are really crappy. They said nasty things because they're either a) jealous of your happiness b] sad because they've been lonely for too long, and c) all of the above. 

 

It doesn't matter what people say or think towards you. If you're happy with yourself and your boyfriend then it's all that matters. Others can take their nasty and shove it up their a** for all I care. 

 

and Congratulations hon!

My parents were more than a decade apart in age, and they were married for over 40 years until my dad died. So, you know what... To hell with everyone else! As long as you two are happy, then that's what matters most. Yeah, it would be good if your families are fine with it (my parents' families were fine), but in the end you're making a life with your spouse, not with the rest of the world. (That last part is from a friend of mine.)

My father's second wife was 37 years younger than him. They stayed married for 25 years, and were quite happy for nearly all of it. In the end, it was political differences that drove them apart, not the age gap.
