Breaking up

arlera..You sound like a very caring person. It's a sign of true love to be willing to sacrifice for the one you love...How large is the age difference? I tend to think perhaps it's ok..love is a gift and should be cherished. It could be that being with you will bring him more happiness than anything you think he may miss out on. Anyway...I admire your thoughtfulness!!!...All the best to you

Hello and welcome to mylot :D. Is the difference in age the only reason for your breakup? If it is, and that difference isn't breaking any laws (as in he's a minor and you aren't) then you should accept that you love him and don't break up with him. If he's a minor and you aren't then, while I personally don't have a problem with that, you might get in trouble with the police which can always be a bad experience so maybe you are right to break up. Also, when you say that breaking up its best for him, you should consider that maybe that's a one sided excuse, since you said he doesn't have a problem with that. Before breaking up you should find the real reason why you are uncomfortable with the relationship for two reasons. The first being that if you breakup using an excuse, instead of a reason, you will most probably regret it, and the second being that you can actually hurt someone more if you don't give them a good reason, since he will keep wondering what the truth behind the breakup was. Telling someone something like "its for your own good" is really mean, since when people say that they are usually doing something that other person doesn't want, thus denying them of their free will and their ability to choose for themselves. If you are right or wrong in leaving him is something you should decide for yourself, but whatever you do, make sure you do it only after you are able to defend your choice :). Good luck

It's your choice, no one is stopping you. To most people it always depends if age matters to them or not when it comes to a relationship.

why?..love is blind and never see age all...just be happy.

I've been in some relationships where I am older than the guy I am with and I don't think age affects the way we strive to make the relationship work. I always believe that age does not matter. If I were in your situation, I'll think things over, for a couple or more times before breaking up with the guy. Especially when you know for a fact that you love him. It's not everyday that we get to meet people who we can love and who will love us in return despite of numbers and other things dictated by our environment.

age no bar .. go and patch up with your ex lover.

Hello friend, I think you are right. Because it is create a problem in future. Then you don't take any dicition. So I think it is a right. Have a nice day.

It doesn't matter if you are older to a guy. What matters is you two love each other. You should stay with you relationship because there is nothing wrong with being older than him.
