Is it unacceptable to be with someone this much older?

Question - (28 March 2011) 4 Answers - (Newest, 30 March 2011)
A female United States age 36-40, anonymous writes:

I am a 27yrs old woman in a relationship with a 55yrs old man. We've been together for 4yrs. I love him and he loves me very much but the age difference has been bothering me a lot lately. He wants to get married but the problem is I have a large family and I havent had the guts to tell anyone about my relationship with him. Im afraid they'll dissapprove.

When we're out and about in public, I can feel people staring because I probably look like a young escort and he looks like a rich guy but we're really in love like any loving couple except he's old and I'm young. Is it unacceptable to be with someone this much older?

ya i notice how all the females that replied say no and that the one guy (now make that 2) say they disapprove. this age difference is not only going to bother you now but each and everyday and year by year it will bother you more. instead why dont you 2 just be friends? find someone more your age?

I don't think you should care about what people think about your relationship because it's YOUR life.

If you really LOVE him, you shouldn't care about his age because that's just a number. In my opinion, older men are much better than younger ones.

Good luck!

Abella agony aunti cannot see any problem with the age difference at all. People are usually more concerned with what concerns themselves, rather than others.

Besides it is not really worth it to allow other people's concerns to become your concerns.

Life is too short to short change yourself and deny yourself happiness because of

what other people may think of you.

Celebrate your love and introduce him to your family.

But just remember, 'what other people think of you is none of your business, that's their concern. Let them worry about it, you don't have the time. You have a life to live'

There are two sides of each coin. To be honest, I would definitely disapprove of this relationship as it will not last for a long time. You really do not have a future with a man who is almost 30 years older than you. Is he willing to have kids? Do you believe he would be able to support you and your kids 10 years down the line? I guess the answer is No. Think practically.
