14 YEARS AGE GAP

I'm 26 and I've been dating this man older than me by 14 years. I'm sure that I loved him with all my heart but I still have doubts.
What if I can't reach the level of his maturity and how see life?
What if his family and friends are against us?
What if I disappoint him in any way because of my mid 20's stubbornness?
Anyone who can give me thoughts and those who have a successful relationship despite the age gap, I want to hear your story.

Love is tender and age doesn't matter. I live in the United Kingdom in the part which is England. Here is it acceptable for a lady to date a man that is older than him. My mum has a friend that at age 40 dated a 30 year old man. That wasn't socially acceptable at that time. They lived together and she had 2 grown up children. It was very sad that her adult son who rode a motorbike got killed by a car. She still has her adult daughter. I think your man loves you and hopefully his family will accept you. Good luck in your relationship.

@roseannvs In a relationship have some fun times together like a picnic by the sea, a walk where you will see something special and have an evening with a candle lit atmosphere.

Sounds romantic @maximax8. We are planning to have a vacation in one of the beaches here in my country.

One can reach maturity well before 26 and that therefore is ruled out Even if there is opposition if you are strong enough to put up with it you should go ahead.

@roseannvs You and your partner is the one who's writing your own story, so it depends on how you handle it both, but one of the most important is understanding to each other

He told me not to fill my mind with uncertainties and just trust him. I know he's sincere when he said that, I just can't put my mind at ease. Everything is new to me, distance, age gap, a foreigner boyfriend, etc.

There have been many a couple many years apart that have very successful relationships. It does not always work out. But statistically MOST relationships don't work out. So, no matter the age gap, it only works if the person you are with happens to be the RIGHT person ultimately. My wife and I are 6 years apart, and interesting enough she is 6 years older than ME. We've been married 11 1/2 years and have been together for 13, and I don't see us leaving each other anytime soon.

it's not about the age believe me it's about you and him both that's all, the feeling must be equally between you two... just if you are confident that he will keep his promiss to you (life promiss) then dont worry about anything else

Age is just a number as long as you love him that's what matters most. Don't worry to much about your doubts just experience what is present and you will know the truth afterwards. Love is a wonderful thing and be sure to savor it.
