I am 25, and have the potential for a great relationship with a man who is older than me at 44. I know that the age disparity upsets my parents, but I am not bothered by it. They also say that I am "settling" for this man just because he shows me attention. Fact is, I am nearly in love with him. He makes me laugh, he is kind, and we get along so well. My family also has a problem because of some sexual comments he has made to me, but they were nothing I didn't want to hear and nothing I wasn't thinking myself. Because of these comments, they really hate him now. They think he is going to rape me, or have sex with me and tell everyone. I love my family, but I cannot bear the idea that in order for them to accept me, I have to lose someone I could have a good life with. My mom keeps threatening to disown me if I see him, to not ever talk to me again. Do I keep living my life in order to please my family?
