I FELL THAT IF YOU REALLY LOVE THAT PERSON THEN YOU SHOULD NOT LET ANYONE COME BETWEEN WHAT YOU HAVE BUILT TOGETHER AND LET NO ONE I MEAN NO ONE TELL YOU WHO TO LOVE.THE ONLY PERSON WHO CAN JUDGE YOU IS GOD NEVER MIND WHAT THE REST OF THE WORLD THINKS.YOU ONLY HAVE ONE LIFE TO LIVE SO LIVE IT TO THE FULLEST.AGE AINT NOTHING BUT A NUMBER IF YOU BOTH LOVE EACH OTHER .CAUSE YOU WOULD'NT WANT TO END UP ALL ALONE IN LIFE WONDERING STUMBLING ALONG THE WAY IN AND OUT OF DARKNESS AWAITING THE LIGHT OF DAY THEN SADNESS WOULD BE YOUR SORROW AND MOURNING WOULD BE A CONSTANT PATH BUT THROUGH HIS GRACIOUS LOVE YOU SHOULD FIND YOURSELF AT LAST IN HIS ARMS AND FULL OF LOVE.

What's 5 years? That is nothing. It's not like you are teenagers. If he's ok with it and you are happy together, it should only be your business, not anyone elses. My relatives will celebrate 60 years of marriage this year and have nearly a 3 year similar age gap, where she is the oldest. Will age still matter if you stay together for 20-30 years? Best wishes to both of you for a long, happy relationship.

The older you get the less age matters. Your parents are not dating him, you are. If you or your boyfriend were under 21 I'd say 'give it up' but for right now enjoy each other. Take it one day at a time. And if other people's oppinion matters THAT much to you, then you'll never have a long lasting relationship. You never know, you two might just become best friends. Or have the best marrage one day.

Age is only a number. My boyfriend and i are 3 yrs apart (i'm 19 and hes 22) it aint no biggy that hes 5 yrs younger then you. It's the happiness that the two of you have for one another and how you make each other feel. Thats all that should matter to you guys. Good luck to you and your boyfriend.

You are both legal and it is it not a gross distant like 19 and 14. I think that it is fine. My husband was 20 when we got married and I was 21 and next week we are celebrating our 8th wedding anniversary. His parents went crazy when we got married but now we are truly family. You are just talking about dating, not getting married. What is the big deal? Both of you are too old to even consider what your parents think. You are adults, take it into your own hands. If you stop dating because of what other people think you are only cheating yourself happiness and letting insignificant people decide something only you and your boyfriend should be considering.

If age was an issue, then I think it is not love you have... it is more reputation and family.
love has no bounds, love is love and with it all love should only be between two and the moment you start to put other people in your love... it's not love no more...
I think you better take a better look at it... is it you or is it the families... if it's you, you'll really need to take a deeper look at yourself and ask yourself where did the love go... if it's family, then you should know better that your love life is yours, not theirs.
there's a reason why we say, "I'm in love" or "I love you", it's directed to one person and for only one person...
take a step back and think... are you living your life as you want it to be or are you living your life as what people what you to be.
be clear of that and you'll know what to do.
good luck.

Well, I once had a boyfriend younger by 3 years. The relationship survived for about 4 years plus and out of blue, he dump me. Reason, 1. He found younger girl (which I found out after 2 years) 2.his mother does not like me being older than him. One thing about younger man..they dont know how to make decisions, they tend to be romantic for a while and somehow they want you to treat them like how their mother treated them...meaning they expect you to be like their mother...

Yes you definitly should continue with him, age doesn`t matter it`s how you feel about each other, I`m 22 and my boyfriend is 30, we have a very loving ralationship reguardless of difference in age and as for your parents, you are old enough to decide for yourself who you want to be with so they will just have to deal with it.

my wife is 5ish years older than i am, we have been together for 15 yrs and married for 9yrs on 2/14. we met about the same ages the you both are now. your parents should be supportive of what makes you happy. if they don't know that, tell them, dog.

Why is that a problem? And once you get to be 40 why not date someone 31?
