I'm 38. He's 22. We love each other more than anything! The age difference is a concern for both of us. (Moreso him than me at this time although it was me in the beginning.)

Just stick it out, you both love each other.

The age factor you have here is 16 yrs apart. You are 38 and when you turn 58 he will be 34 yrs old, you will be out of the sex thing pretty much, you won't desire it as much, and he WILL be looking to younger women. I am 30 and even though I know that age is just a #, I look at the reality of it as well. I don't date and try to get serious with anyone that is more then 4yrs older then me. I want to grow old with my mate, I don't want to be with someone that has already beat me to the punch line. I won't date anyone more then 4 yrs younger then me, for the same reason, I don't want to beat anyone to the punch line, I want to go there together. You may love this young man, but he has alot to go through that you have already been through, I know its exciting to be with a younger man, it makes you feel young and feel sexy and attractive and wanted. But he is still learning life, and what love is and what it is about. You already know and have a clue, he doesn't. I wish you the best, but I don't see this working out, I think maybe you would be better as friends rather then lovers. Blessed be................

ya, just stick it out. If you love each other then you'll make it. Hell, he should know that he got's it good. He's with a more experienced woman both with sex and with life in general. I am sure a lot of his family and peers may have thoughts about you two's age difference, but if you love each other enough, you will make it. If anyone has a problem with it then the both of you need to stick up for yourselves and tell them to deal with it because you are in love and this is what you want. The most important thing in life is to have "Peace of Mind". If you two being in love gives you that "Peace of Mind" then don't let anyone take that away from you. Good Luck and Live Happy.

He is kind of young. He is still wet behind the ears, ya know. He may say he is ready to commit but don't trust it. You have been there and done that, he is just starting to have "been there" and is no where near the "done that" part yet. If i had gotten married at 22...i would be very unhappily getting a divorce right now. You need to find someone your own age who wants the same things as you. Not that you are old or anything, but he is too young to know what he wants.

Go with your feelings. Obviously you have feelings or you wouldn't have been attracted to each other in the beginning. Age is just a number as long as its legal and mature. And don't let peer pressure guide you through this. This should depend on only you two

If you're sure that it's love and you both want to be together, you're just going to have to work it out together. If you're going to let this obstacle break you apart, then perhaps the relationship wasn't worth pursuing in the first place. Once you solve this problem, you'll be able to deal with anyone. Just don't give up and always solve problems together.

I can't speak for you, but I know I have very little in common with guys who are that young. I'm 34 and about the youngest I would consider is probably 27 or 28. But if you have more in common than just sex, go for it.
