Our whole thing is that we are both finding happiness in each other. Things can happen, tragedies can occur that can in a sense put a relationship out of balance. For that matter, I could be injured severely in a car accident. I don't think anyone can say for sure how they will respond under untried conditions, but I think Steve (that's his name), would be there for me during tough times, and I intend to be there for him. I think it kind of goes with the territory of being being committed in a relationship. But I have this strange feeling that in 25 years I'll be the one trying to keep up with him.
That question you just answered was mean and out of line. It deserved to be ignored.
You are both adults. Do what makes you happy in the here and now as life is short. As I have mentioned many times there is no guarantee that getting together with someone your own age (or closer) is going to work out. In fact chances are that it won't as most relationships are temporary.
Best wishes to you all. Enjoy your time together and don't listen to the haters.
Age is only a number, dont buy into it. Ive dated women 13-15 years younger than me all summer, and outside of the fact that they only wanted fun, it was really never an issue. Learn to play by your own rules, or you become a socialy conditioned sheep. THe end.

Fair enough. Unfortunately events can certainly affect any couple. I just think it's naive to believe that there won't be issues down the road as he advances into old age while you are still somewhat young. Go on with it and stay as long as your heart is content. I personally wouldn't put much stock into it lasting, but I've never been in your situation before either...

I don't think it was mean spirited...it is a thread about age gaps. It certainly can be an eventual issue for a couple with such an age gap.
