I Take Relationships Seriously

My partner and I have been together 2 years this year. He is a few years older than me, that being said I prefer older people because they seem more mature than what I was used to in school/around my age at the time. I take it very seriously; I believe in working things out before getting upset. We have had to deal with so much. Family feuds, deaths, and even miscarriages ( though the pregnancy itself was not intentional). I hope that eventually it will become more serious. I believe that relationships should be taken seriously, especially if you want a future with someone.

In my own view, if he isn't old enough to be your father or young enough to be your son, it isn't much age difference. Except of course at twenty, if he's young enough yo be your son, he's a child, but I meant if you were already old enough to have a son in his twenties.

Even of he's old enough to be your grandfather, if you are mature and not mentally challenged, it shouldn't be anybody's business.

If you are both hoping for the same things from your relationship, I can only say, I hope it all works as you want it to.

Well, yes, I figured you were romantically involved, I was just wondering how far you had committed to each other. 5 years is barely an age difference at your age. When I saw a few years older, I thought you were going to say 15-20 years. 😊.
Have you discussed any of this with him? Does he have the same hopes?

You sound very mature yourself, so it's not surprising you prefer people who are older. I'm guessing your maturity and seriousness about relationships is part of what attracted your partner to you.

I hope the two of you have a long and happy future together.

Together how? Living together, or seeing each other? How much difference is there in your ages? (Not that it matters, you're not a child. You have the right to choose who to be with)

yes, he does. Some people tend to not like relationship where a partner is even two years older. I guess that some people just find it odd and judge so I get a little defensive.

We live together but are romantically involved if that is what the question was, and only by about 5 years.

I think it was, that and a few other factors.
