melodymatters Posted December 22, 2013 Posted December 22, 2013 I feel almost obligated to chime in on these kind of threads. Soaringphoenix, you will find that there is MUCH more prejudice regarding age gap relationships than gay, interracial, different religions or cultures: in those cases people would be talking about LOVE and following your HEART. I am in my 40's, happily married for over 2 yrs so far to a man 18 yrs younger. We worked together and started as friends, then lovers, then BF and GF and then marriage and the progression was as natural as any same age relationship. Yes, he IS very mature for his age. And I am a tiny little ball of energy who owns a children's theatre company. We enjoy the same movies, music and pastimes. We don't want or plan on having children together, and I do believe that our bond is strong enough to survive me getting a bit wrinkly, but only time will tell like in ALL long term relationships. ( we all know that people who are gorgeous and great partners can still get cheated on or abandoned). So yes, it is very possible for you two to have a long term, happy, healthy relationship ! The only two REAL issues that CAN become a problem are the two I mentioned above : If you want natural children and she's unable to have them at that time, and whether you think you could handle the natural aging process in your partner. If you can answer those two questions and still don't see any roadblocks, then for Gods sake, just treat her like the lovey, fascinating woman she is and don't look for problems OR for "Societies Approval". Life is good. Good luck ! 3
