My boyfriend and I have been friends for about 7 years and we just started to date last july when i moved to houston texas with him. I need to know if the age difference will affect our relationship or will it last. Does age really matter? Even if he has been married twice should I trust this relationship? I'm really confused at this point and really don't want to start over but if i haveto...then so be it

It depends on your age and maturity level.

If you are age 21 or older, then age should NOT matter. However, if this guy has been married and divorced twice, he could have some issues with keeping his marriage committments or abuse issues. It has not been a whole year since last July. Sometimes, older men in midlife crises desire younger women to show off and to boost their egos. Most men enjoy the idea of variety in a sexual relationship with an attractive, younger woman who is willing to do as he says. Do you have any idea why his previous marriages ended? Where are the ex-wives? How do his children (if any) feel about your living together? Do you know anything of his family members? Having your own personal living quarters and a job to support yourself as soon as possible is good advice for you. Then, have those talks with him to get answers about his motivations in this relationship before you make a final decision.

And do you have a problem with telling us the ages involved? If you're 40 and he's 57, it's much less of a deal than if you're 15 and he's 32. If you want it to last, get the reasons why his two previous marriages failed out into the open. Don't let him blame it all on the exes. It takes two and the more exes there are, the easier it is to make another one.

Past behavior is the best predictor of future behavior. If he has been married twice that is a warning sign. Age doesn't matter that much because people have different maturity levels, but because he has been married twice before shows that he doesn't really have a strong commitment to marriage.

I wish you gave us more info...like how old are you?
and then...why did you move to Texas with him before you were even seriously dating? What are you running away from.. I think that is a good question.... that you should think about.
Secondly, why are you only wondering about his age now? and it sounds like you're only staying with him because you don't want to start over again. How many men have you been with? and what has happened to all of them? You have left alot unaswered..that maybe you should think about answering.

You have known him for seven years, that is a long time. Age really doesn't matter after a point in your life. If you two enjoy each others company and you have been together so long, you should be fine.

If you're confused, you shouldn't have moved to Houston with him. But I hope you have a good relationship with him. Leave
yourself open to talk over things. You have a right to ask
questions, and get answers.
