he is younger!

September 27, 2011 6:51am CST
My partner is almost three years younger than I am. I find it uncomfortable sometimes, especially when we are with friends. If a guy is older, that would basically be better. But, I do love him of course. :)

So what if he is younger? It doesn't matter if you love him. And why do you find it uncomfortable? Everyone will end up with someone younger sooner or later... No need to feel uncomfortabele ;)

Thank you for that! I do know that I should not feel bad about it. It's just that sometimes, when people see us together, they make comments and all. And I hate it! :/

Don't worry so much if other people say something.So what there are people that talk about other people like that and it is not right.They are not to judge!

hello, LOL! My boyfriend is younger than me for 1 year and 6 months to be exact. Well, sometimes I also feel awkward especially if we met new people or friends. It is really uncomfortable to say that you are older than him. But of course they understand. And yes we do love our love once and it is not an issue at all as long as we understand each other.

That is surpising...Your difference isn't very much either...I wonder why you would feel awkward..do your friends think he should be older than you?

I have dated younger men before and even had serious relationships with them.I never had a problem with it. If I were you I would just ignore them,if anything is said to you.If you two are happy together then that's all that matters. Those people are probably just jealous anyway

Exactly right!Keep your head held high and think about it probably 90% of those people that are talking are probably jealousbecause they probably have no one or they are with someone that is "so called" age appropiate and are not happy.So just be glad that you are happy! Good luck

Correct! I also do agree with that. I am happy.! He also claims that he is happy having me. I guess that will weigh more than what others may say or think. Thank you very much! :)

Three years is not a huge difference. Now if it were 30 years...I would wonder.....

I have to say that when I was younger, I had the same problem as you. I had 16 and the guy that I liked had 14 and for me that was a huuuuge problem. But, now, looking to the past, I realize that this was stupid and I shouldn't let this ruin the relationship. When you get older, this thing of age don't matter anymore (and it's only 3 years difference).
