My boyfriend and I have been dating for about 3 years now. We''ve discussed our futures....where to live, children, etc. I feel there''s still a little more to discuss, but considering we don''t plan on getting married until 2010, I try to have "one discussion at a time" so to speak.
I think what causes most of my anxiety is our age difference. I''m 23 and he''s 41. I''ve always gotten along better with people older than me (most people are surprised that I''m this young). We have tons in common and he''s truly my best friend, but occasionally I get those comments from others about the age difference. It doesn''t bother me so much right now, but will it be different when I''m 40 and he''s 58? or 50 and 68?
Generally, I go with the mantra of "as long as you''re happy, just go with it, because you never know when your life will end".....not to be morbid.
Anyway, my hope is that someone on this list is either in a relationship with someone much older or younger than them or perhaps have close friends in a similar relationship. Comments? Thoughts?
