  • if you are both happy then yes it makes sense. age is really just a number. someone who is 30 can be more immature than a 21 year old. everyone is different
  • My husband is younger than I am. Age is just a number.
  • I hope you two have a long and happy life together......
  • If you are happy I do not see a problem
  • love knows no boundries (so long as both are of at least the legal age of consent)Age is just a number and is not important in a relationship. It is how the two of you feel about each other and how comfortable you both are with the difference. I am 45 and dated a girl who was nearly 15 years my junior a few years back. She was the light and life of my world til she was tragically taken away from me. If you and your man are comfortable with the difference in age ignore everyone else. Chances are they are just jealous
  • if you are ok with the age difference then i would say that it is fine but the qestion that i have is that why he lied about his age in the first place if he was a muture 21 year old
  • I don't think that seven years is ANY "yard stick" to measure the validity of a "love" relationship by. When a person is in thier early to mid twenty's, seven years seems quite a long time. As we age, seven years is a drop in the bucket. Let you're heart do what it does best, allow it to decide what make's you happy. NOT, some silly social ideal, that probably does'nt apply in your life, or situation.
  • It makes a lot of sense, if both of you are in love and each love the other as you have said just now. You love a person, not his age. So it should not even bother you.
  • I don't see age as a barrier. I have lived with my current girlfriend for 10 years. She is 32 and I am 47. I don't look my age but I dont look 32 either. You can do the math. she was a mature 22 when I met her and we don't notice or think of the age difference until someone points it out to us. We're just a couple and we get along well.
  • Gosh, you're only 6 years apart. I wish I were as close in age to my fiance! He's 22, I'm 14 years older. Our families are not supportive. The biological difference may soon affect kids for me but he loves me no matter what. You may have a few more odds to face as an older woman in the relationship than if the guy was older than you. If you are both really perseverant then you're union will be stronger than most other couples! What kind of problems do you guys encounter? The main obstacles I've found are differences in current career development, people criticizing relentlessly, the possibility that the younger one might change which is more likely when in the early 20's. If you are past all of these issues then you're probably good to go!
  • You guys started dating when he was only 19, and people do a lot of changing between 18 and 25. You did, right? At age 19, 6 years is almost a third of your life. I do hope you make it, though.
  • I am in the same position as you are. I am 30yrs old and dating someone who is 18. I have a child that is 9. It bothers me to a point because he is young and society judges you as some cradle robber. But all in all, I am happy and he treats me with the most respect that I have ever gotten from a guy...so forget about society! My advice to you (of which I should also follow) is to follow your heart, but look out for #1 and if #2 is worth it...he will follow.
  • JLOVEBUG, i just read what you post, and you are just a woman who is in love, let no age spoil ur life. I can tell you that, your boyfriend is 100% in love with you. I have dated a girl who was 5yrs older than i was, i don't care at all, it is always the ladies that seem to be bothered about the age thing, but for us guys, we don't care. As a matter of fact Jlovebug, we guys now prefer older ladies, that is just the truth about it.Not for any reason, but for what i call CHOICE. I like older girls, and all the time, they just fall into my hands, so i think ur age diff shoudn't disturb you at all..You're the mistress of your heart, just follow your heart. Goodluck!
  • Six years? Don't worry about it.
  • My wife is older than I am. We've been married for 35 years so yeah, I think it makes sense.
  • Dont worry about it .If you are in love with him and he ins love with you. Dont worry about what other thinks. I am 23 and I am very mature for my age, matter of fact I am attracting women up in there 30's and 40's. So follow your heart and gut.
