I am in love wiht a man that is 15 years older than me I am 24, I have never found anyone like he ,We both love each other very much and have so many things in common and for me age doen't really matter,He respects me in all aspects.
He wants to marry me and I do to, But why for other people it seems like he is just too old for me, I like the way he is, I love evetyhting about him and viseversa, I know his feelings and trust him.
Why poeple judge age?? Are you or have you been in a relathionshop where he/she is older than you, by how many years.
I will apreciate all your comments, THANK YOU!

Age is just a number. I am 26, my boyfriend of 8 years is 49.
It certainly has raised eyebrows in my family and some concern, but they have come to love him. We think on the same level, we have a great respect for each other's feelings & opinions, all in all I'd say we are best friends as well as lovers. It's great.
Only reason I am not married to him is because I wanted to finish college & get a good job first. He likes an independent woman.

Age is only a number. I am currently in love with a man who is about 15 years older than I. I am 35 years old and feel this man may be my soul mate. We connect so well mentally and even think the same. I think you should not rush into marriage right away. You're young and once married, it's not easy to get out. Just pursue your relationship and date him for at least two years.

14 years ago I married a man 15 years younger than myself. We've never looked back. It's been better than most marriage I know.
I think most people that are worried about the age difference are people that are concerned that he's taking advantage of you because of your age. But at 24, hopefully, you are wise enough to really know this man.
You only have one life to live. Don't let others try to control how you live your life. Age is just a number. Good luck to both of you and congrats for finding a good one!

hey moon light, you got a good question there..im 24 and live with a man who is 12 years older then i am and, like you we have many things in common and love each other very much. Everyone will always have their thoughts and opinions towards the age diffrence in your relationship but, they arent in your relationship to fully understand how you feel about your fiance. Please dont let their opinions effect the way you two feel about each other. age is just a number!! Keep your head up and stay positive. You can really make this work your the only one who knows how you feel..oh and, you go girl....

Perfect example, Celine Dione and her husband. He is much older than her, but it seems like they have such an amazing relationship. I've always dated older men, and I do because for me it works out. They are more mature (hopefully) and have more life experience, etc..... Whomever you date or marry is your problem, you have to deal with them, you have to sleep with them, and no your friends have no say in it, or your family, sorry, but in the end it's just you and him. If you're in love then I assume you've known him for a while, and you both have the same goals right? Like kids, and marriage you totally agree on those things, and money matters, and how to raise children, all has been agreed on right? Make sure you are really on the same page, because you really can't change someone. So if you want to go for it, everyone else will just have to deal with it.

I am married to a man that is 8 years younger than I am. Age doesn't matter as long as you love each other. Biological age and the age we really feel are two completely different things. I say marry him. Love isn't prejudice to age.

go for it. life is to short, if you love one another then that's what matters. my husband is 12 years older than me and we have been married now for 10 years. I'm not going to say it will be a walk in the park, but as long as you love and respect each other then you should both be happy.

It shouldn't matter what other people think alot of people feel that when you get involved with someone older, things will not work out only because older people are set in their ways and younger people still like to run around and go to clubs be with friends etc..Its like you have to give up your ways and won't enjoy as many things...But if you can live by his rules and not go out by yourself and truly commit to him and only him go for it..I myself have no problem with differences in age..Its your life and no one else is gonna live it but you so go be happy.

As long as you're both consenting adults, age isn't an issue. If you love him, don't worry about what other people think. If you're happy with him, then go for it! Best of luck to both of you, and be happy! And yes, I've been in relationships with older men, and they were the best!
