i'm 22 (almost 23) he is 44. He is very very wealthy but I also come from wealthy family ( but not rich as he is). I'm not some bimbo type of girl actually i am a 3rd year law student. I didn't know he was so rich when we met. For me he is very attractive- but people have different tastes so some won't find him attractive. Now my problem is that nobody believes me that i really like him (not for $).
Would you believe that 22 year younger girl likes some man- even if he is not attractive to brad pittish standards.
I don't care but sometimes it goes on my nervs some rude comments.
ps. sorry for english- it is not my firts language

There's alot of envy inside some people's hearts. Tell them to mind their own business.

I had an uncle that was 20 yrs older then my aunt.
They were married for over 35 yrs until my uncles death.
The downside was that my aunt lived for many years as a widow.
But they had a good life while they were together.
She never remarried.

Live your life for you, and don't worry about what people think. If you love him, isn't that really all that matters?

While there are always examples where it works out, I would say more often than not, it doesn't. My first husband was 10 years older than I was. It worked for 10 years until I grew up and he didn't. You are 22. You don't know what you want in life. (trust me) You will change over the years. I think if you were 34 I would feel differently. But at 22 you still have a lot of growing up to do. If the two of you have a lot in common now it is because he is not a grown up. Age does not equal maturity.

Enjoy the time with him and live and learn. Just don't get married or waste your youth away with a man old enough to be your dad.

Shouldnt be a problem in my opinion eventhough there might be some rude comments or youll notice some small problems. But who cares, if you love eachother thats the point.

And here we have the rude/intolerant comments the OP mentioned. And "don't waste your youth away with a man old enough to be your dad"... so if she were to date a guy her age, her youth wouldn't be wasted? I guess, to you, childrearing is the only point of a relationship?

First, the last thing you should be thinking about is what other people think. Life's tough enough when you're the one that's callin' the shots. Only YOU know whether this is a good fit for you. Take it from a law school dropout, (the best thing I ever did), often times the least likely matches have the best chance of staying power. And whether it's race, religion (can't believe people actually still think about these things), cultural or educational background, etc. Because, even given all of those differences, these are two people that have decided they are right for each other. In this petty, hypocritical world, unfortunately it's true, they will have to want it and work for it a little bit more. Trust your gut.
