She look 15 younger than her age of 52. They appear to be a great couple but they seem worried about what others think. (family and friends) They tell her she should be ashamed of herself and he needs to be with a woman his own age. What does everyone think?

Do they love each other? Do they care for each other? Are they happy with each other? If so, they should not listen to what others say. It is their own opinion. Don't let your life be ruined by what others think. Do waht you wish and live your life. After all, you only pass this way once. Know what I mean?

I think they should do what they feel is best for them. They should not worry about what others are saying. But here's the thing yes here comes the but!!! If either one of them feels uncomfortable about this situation it's not going to work. The age difference is very great and they have to think through a lot of things. For instance, when she's 72 he'll only still be 44. That's an extremely big age difference at that point in their lives. If there only looking for a short term relationship then hey I say go ahead. And you never know things may work out. But they always have to think realistically and ahead of the game. But as for other people, remember others can only make you feel the way you're already feeling. If you feel mixed emotions about this, others are going to be the blame for how you are really thinking!!! But I wish them the best, if nothing else maybe they can be friends. Probably would turn into friends with benefits but then someone or both parties could get hurt. Either way I say it's their lives and nobody has to live it but them!!!!

Generally people who are at such different ages are at very different places in their lives. They have different experiences and goals, and different desires of what they are looking for. Generally with a couple like this, I'd say the older person is using the younger person to help her get an illusory sense of youth and fun. Like a mid-life crisis. I'm not saying that I think it can't work, but I'd be pretty skeptical.

Well, is there bonding and love stronger than all the criticism and thoughts that their friends and relations will have?
Can they support each other to the hilt, particularly through the period that they will lose friends and many relationships at work and in the neigbourhood?
Do they really love and care for each other to such an extent that they will live upto their own convictions and the new norms that they wish to establish?
Is their union or relationship based on equality, respect and love for each other?
If the answer to all these questions is YES, they should just go for it. The friends and relations will catch up with them later!

Doll, I know that when making decisions more so the ones you know that are going to make you happy you want to share those thoughts with your family and close friends because you want them to be happy for you... I'm 22 but I know that.. sometimes you have to make decisions based on how you feel.. I'm sure you know that.. but if the couple really want to be together and they love each other so let it be.. they are grown adults and they both know how to make decisions wheather other people like it or not who cares why because they are not them, they don't live their lives.. they are living them, they have to decide what's best.. because if people say don't be together and they decide to see other people.. they won't be happy and I'm sure one way or another.. in the future they will find a way.. no doubt..
again it's what makes them happy and happiness is not always easy to find and finding the right person is just as harder I say once you find it dont let go of it..

Ah love! Could you and I with him conspire to grasp this sorry scheme of things entire? Would we not shatter it to bits and remold nearer to the heart's desire? What family and friends think has nothing to do if these two people love each other! I can understand these two people are worried about what others think, but shame on those who attempt to break the spirit of their feelings.

Sure and after 20 yrs of marriage, she'll be 72, and he'll be dating a 24 yr old behind her back.
If it's about the sex I say have a great time... but if they think it's a romance that will last forever.... they need to think again.

It can, but it will be difficult, the age gap is 28 years, and that is almost three generations apart. There really isn't much for them to share with each other, because there is very little that they have in common in the way experiences.

She should be ashamed of herself. She could have given birth to a 24 year old. She must be very immature.

I am 47 and my fiance is 30....I met him when he was 28. I have no problem with it nor does he but he is very mature. Twenty four seems very young to be mature yet.
