I Never Understand

The whole stigma and concern over age, or should I state age difference, between people.

There's 20 years difference between me and my fiancé...we have interests, we have differences, we have complimentary personalities. It's what makes us different to each other and it's also what bring people together.

There's always that 'outsider' viewpoint of 'Well, they must be getting something from this to stick around...', which insinuates money, property or status of some kind...and yet, ironically, what these people fail to understand is that we always get something from someone which makes us stick around!

I'm very Zen. I value peace of mind and happiness more important than the desire to make more money.

It doesn't interest me.

Likewise other people's thoughts.

I'm too busy living my life with those that I love to ever think about how I 'look' to others.

I think the biggest deterrent in age gap relationships is that we put too much emphasis on what other people think. If we lived our lives, only worrying about ourselves and what we think, I think this type of age gap relationship might be more common. I see nothing wrong with it, in fact, encourage it. A lot of younger women worry with their friends or family are going to think. A lot of older men worried about what their peers are going to think, or if they have a professional appearance to uphold. Let all of that go. Follow your heart and have fun with it. Life is too short to miss it.

Good for you! There’s no need for us to be embarrassed or worried or anything else when it comes to who we choose to date!

My lady and I have a 23 year age difference between us and we are very happy and in love. Enjoy your life together and ignore the haters.
