I'm not sure why anyone would be concerned with what their adult children think about their own personal life choices unless they have dysfunctional co-dependency with those children.
Do whatever makes you happy! Don't bother bringing up your ages to anyone coz it's none of their business.
This. OP, if people tend to think you're the younger one, why would you tell them otherwise? And why would they think there's anything out of the ordinary going on, unless you told them? This is a non-issue, except where family is concerned. Why wouldn't your kids be happy for you, anyway?

Because the ensuing drama can disrupt and even ruin your life.
Many people don't **know** they have "dysfunctional co-dependency" until there is a big change in their life. Once something happens that disrupts their perception of the family, all hell can break loose.
Really an odd question. I could not imagine a 68 y.o. man ever get worried about a 55 y.o. woman in his life... So why women get so insecure about a younger man? At that age the difference is not even noticeable.
You don't need or have to explain yourself to anyone.
Go ahead and be happy!!

Or maybe they just don't want to hear their kids' opinions for the simple annoyance of it, but know that there is no way of avoiding them short of hiding the relationship entirely, and are wondering if there are any deft ways to cut the opinion-sharing short gently so that there is as little drama as possible.
I also vote for not to worry about it. If you are both happy.
but I would also recommend a background check if you haven't known this man a long time.
Lots of scammers out there. You said you aren't worried about money but still doesn't hurt to be cautious.
Wouldn't want to see a post later about a broken heart and bank acct.
