Dating an older man?

Question

I'm 33 his 50. How do I break the ice to my parents about my boyfriend. Please help?

Answer 1

Just tell them!! You're 33! You don't need their approval. As long as he treats you well, age shouldn't matter. It's 2007, after all.

Answer 2

you might be surprised at the reaction. I know that if he is a good man,works, treats you well then if you were my daughter I would be happy for you. To me that is better than getting some young guy that would be running around on you and not being very responsible and making your life a living hell. So if everything is in order don't worry remember you have what I just told you about a younger person. because mom and dad are usually the ones who have to bail there daughter out financially and emotionally. This way they shouldn't have to worry much

Answer 3

If you love him and he love you than age should not matter-remember that age is only a number-I am 63 and my husband is 87 and we have been married for 22 yrs-you are 33 yrs old and it is your decision-your parents will understand that you both love each other and give their blessing-it is best for you to tell them-than for them to find out from someone else-be honest with your parents

Answer 4

I'm 32 and my boyfriend is 48, we both are very happy with each other. We been together for 3 months. I was afraid to tell my parents, so I told my mom and I asked her to help me tell my dad because I was afraid of his reaction. Both of my parents were ok and approved my relationship. I have everything with him happiness, money and good sex. I would love to marry my boyfriend he makes me feel very secure, something that I never had with any of my ex-boyfriends.

Don't be afraid to break the ice to tell your parents.

GOOD LUCK!!!!

Answer 5

I am 36 dating a guy that is 49 and had no problem introducing him to my family. Odds are that if you parents see that you are happy and that your s/o treats you well, they will or at least should be very happy to meet him. The important thing to remember is that in the end it isn't your parents that have to accept the man, it's you. And if you do that is all that matters.

Answer 6

i know where your coming from im 37 and my hubbys 57 so ive been there and my husbands only 3 years younger then my mom. if things are serious invite them out to dinner that way your in public and they wont make a scene then they can get to know him a little tell the parents your bringing your boyfriend and hes really special to you and explain there is an age gap but dont say how much of one at first let them meet him and decide from there if your parents love you they will accept your decission after all you are a grown woman

Answer 7

Just drop a hint sometime to your folks. Casually, not like a big deal. When you guys are talking sometime, just say, "I told you he was a little older than me, right?" And then keep talking. Or when they're bitching about something you could relate too, "yeah, that's why I love dating an older man." Or ask your mom for advice, "Did you ever date an older man mom?"

Answer 8

I you love each other and your parents see that your happy and he is a good guy,why would they care,just tell them.Mom,Dad I'm married to a man 17 years older than me and I love him very much,do we have a problem with this or should we leave and not come back. What do you think your parents will say? OK tell them ,but face to face!!

Answer 9

My husband and I got married when I was 33 and he was 50. We were meant to be together, and we are happy. That's all that matters. If our parents thought it was weird, they kept it to themselves. They sure seemed to have fun at our wedding, though.

Answer 10

At 33 you shouldn't have to worry about telling anyone. Be an adult.
